    Lots of countries ban procedures connected with the ART. An average of ten out of 100 women aged 20 to 44 cannot have a child. Infertility is turning into an epidemic whose peak we have yet to see,-says specialists. For women who want to escape the taboo on childlessness, and who do not want to adopt, the only solution is IVF. Or to find a surrogate mother who will carry their egg to maturity. That is why many people are afraid of talking about such things because of the strict legislation at home. I am already 40. I am thinking now either about IVF or surrogacy. First, I was sure that in my age IVF wouldn’t be possible. Then I find an article in internet about reproductive clinic in Kiev city. They have clients from different countries. This clinic gave me a hope that everything is possible even in such age. I have some chronical diseases as well. So, maybe it will be too difficult for me to be pregnant. I will go to Kiev next month. Hopefully after consultation with doctors in that clinic, we will find solution for me together.
