Is surrogacy my only option when dealing with secondary infertility?

A remarkable story of a couple and their determination to overcome secondary infertility.

My Guests:

Jane Newman describes herself as 'a very fortunate Mum of three. She suffers from secondary infertility. Jane and her husband Howie Newman, have six and a half-year-old daughter and one-year-old twins who the couple had with the help of a Gestational Surrogate. They live in the UK, as does their Surrogate, and before having the twins they endured five long and difficult years consisting of numerous procedures, tests, scans, four rounds of IVF, and a miscarriage. Last year Jane started writing a blog to share her story to offer hope, help, and support to those who might be going through similar turmoil or to those who maybe have had their happy ending too.
