WOW!! Thankyou, all of you. So much info! Where to start??!! lol

Well i have to say, Sally2, i like your advice on the GP's. I have been worried about going to one incase they are anti gay parents... But hey, there is nothing stopping us from getting second & third opinions, is there! We will go thru every doc surgery in Adelaide if we have to!!
So i think that is where we will start. At least then we will know exactly what we can and cant do.

Beth-n-Sara, I Love the "egg mummy/tummy mummy" thing. That is so cute! For our first we plan for me to be the egg mummy, and Larney will carry (as she has done it before (previous relationship) and i am shh** scared. lol), But i will be giving it a go in a couple of years time!

I think you will find in regards to the surrogacy thing it will be much much simpler if you donate your eggs to your partner rather than trying to nut out the legalities of surrogacy.
I am just wondering, Could you explain to me how this works? Does she have to have a medical condition or something wrong with her own eggs for them to allow this? And how does the IUI process work with that?? This might be a stupid question, but can they put someone elses egg in you, unfertilised??



Levi78, Great advice and info, thankyou so much. I had always planned to draw up some sort of agreement with our donor, i am very cautious there. But i hadnt thort about an agreement with my partner... As depressing and horrible it is to think about.. it is a sensible thing to do! We will look into it. So thankyou for the info on the 'Orders by Consent' thing.




As far as carrying the others egg/embryo - we asked the exact same question of our doc, and were told that once an embryo is created it belongs to both parents and we can choose what to do with it - so if we want the other mum to carry it - then it can be done.
Hi Nurse27, i am just wondering, you confirmed that IVF and IUI is only available in SA to medically infertile women... So how can they create an embryo for us?? Isnt that IVF??

So do you have any children yet? Or are you ttc?? Because you are in adelaide aswell i am eager to hear how other adelaide lesbo mums are concieving!!
I am really interested to hear from DrGirl72 as she is also in Adelaide and has 3 children already, and i want to know HOW DID SHE DO IT???? lol


ANYWAY.... Thanks again to all of you.. You have all been so helpful and kind. I look forward to talking to everyone some more.. and hopefully in a years time i too can give some advice to a beginner!

But first things first, and i think that would be to go find a GP who wants to help us!

Thanks again,
B.
