When can I choose surrogacy?

I have been having Ivf for several years now without success. I know the cause of my infertility and have exhausted the specific treatments for it. My chances of conceiving through Ivf and carrying a baby to term are clinically very slim (but it’s not impossible) .

I am finding my current cycle very punishing, emotionally and physically and a big part of me wants to pull out. I will most likely see it through (unless it’s cancelled again) but can’t see myself doing another cycle after this one. However I will still have some embryos.

What I want to know is when can I choose to go down the surrogacy route? If I was able to find a surrogate would the hospital go ahead with that option?

I am in the situation now where I would almost feel it would be progress if the hospital told me if was never going to work, for me. Then I could go ahead and explore the other options. But because there is a very slim clinical chance I feel stuck on a treadmill. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there are any rules regarding when surrogacy becomes an option for anyone struggling with fertility issues. I would definitely discuss it with your hospital/clinic if you feel it may now be your best chance.
