    Since ovarian failure is the primary cause of menopause, women well into 60s can still carry a successful pregnancy as a surrogate mother with proper hormonal supplements.

    the problem would be if the ovaries can produce enough of the hormones to sustain the whole pregnancy. only a fertility specialist could really tell you. it's based really on the individual.

    no you can't. The couple must be rejected a menopause woman. They will pay you a lot of money so they will choose carefully a women who had a great egg (usually in average age about 20 to 30)

    I would like to know if it is possible to carry a baby for one of my daughters. She is unable to carry a child and although adoption is always an option it is a very long and difficult process. I have 7 children and one is adopted although you would not be able to pick her out from the rest and yes she has known all her life. One of my twins would love to be a mother but has had much difficulty along those lines. Part of her uterus had to be removed and the obgyn said she would not be able to carry a child anyway. Does anyone know of someone in their 60's (63) doing this. I went into instant menopause because of a drug given to me by the doctor.

    Theoretically, yes. But would it be the best environment for a growing baby? No, not with all the available surrogates out there.

    To those who think surrogate is unethical or moraly wrong and feel one should adopt instead. It is only natural for people to want their OWN children with their own genetic make up. I am 54,( no one I meet believes me, I look and act much younger). I went through a rather early menopause and have recently met the man of my dreams. He says I am the woman of his dreams as well. Our chemistry is amazing. However he is 34. We feel the same age, we feel no age and would love to build a future and a family together.He is a beautiful soul and would be a wonderful father. I want to give him the children I know he wants and deserves, his own children. I want to cary our babies in my body and give them life. Because I am post menopausal I don't think I can make any babies of my own. However, I would be happy to cary his babies even if we have to borrow eggs. I have a sister who is very close geneticly. We look similar. Our voices are almost indistinquishable and we have very similar personalities. She is also 10 years younger than me and might be the perfect doner.I Also have a daughter who could / might possibly donate. That might be even better, closer geneticly. Because of my age and the risk factors involved to me and the baby, It might be wiser to find a surrogate to cary our babies.
    I want to be around and healthy to raise and share those children with my partner and I want those babies to have the best chance at a healthy begining. So you might want to rethink those comments.
    I have a close, pesonal relationship with Spirit and as I see it, those women who donate (or rent out)their boddies are angels making dreams come true. Only Spirit can judge if that is right or wrong.

    There are a lot of things that can be done but my thinking is..... Just because something can be done, should it be done?

    This whole idea of surrogate mothers is a very touchy subject ethically. I would not want to be a "womb for rent" nor would I want a stranger to carry my baby for me.
