Robert Iyer, 38, is a software...
Robert Iyer, 38, is a software engineer who has been trying to conceive with his husband, Mark, for three years via surrogacy. Their journey began with selecting an egg donor and creating embryos. However, their first two surrogate transfers failed, with their fertility specialist suspecting suboptimal embryo quality due to the donor's unpredictable ovulation timing during the egg retrieval cycle. The doctor recommended a monitored ovulation induction cycle for their chosen donor. This would use gentle medication to control and time ovulation precisely, ensuring the eggs were retrieved at the optimal maturity. The donor underwent daily injections for about 10 days, with frequent monitoring via blood tests and ultrasounds. The procedure resulted in the retrieval of 14 mature eggs, 10 of which fertilized successfully with Robert's sperm. Five days later, they had three high-quality blastocysts for transfer or freezing. Emotionally, Robert felt a heavy burden of responsibility and anxiety, fearing another setback. After the successful retrieval and embryo development, he felt a profound sense of hope and shared relief with Mark, feeling they were finally moving forward with a stronger chance.
