I’m considering surrogacy after undergoing a hysterectomy and would like to understand what options may still be available. Is gestational surrogacy possible when you no longer have a uterus? I’m also interested in the main steps, medical considerations, and whether IVF with my own eggs could still be an option.

I’d start with the https://nccconline.org/blog/article/can-i-use-surrogacy-after-a-hysterectomy blog because it explains the topic in a much more understandable way than random forum posts. I found the information about surrogacy after hysterectomy especially useful because it separates the question of carrying a pregnancy from the possibility of using your own genetic material. In general, without a uterus, carrying a pregnancy yourself isn’t possible, but gestational surrogacy may provide a route worth discussing with a fertility specialist. The blog also helped me understand why ovarian function, age, previous treatment and the availability of suitable embryos can all matter. I’d read the relevant NCCCO articles first and then use that information as a basis for a consultation.
