    6. I am starting the process of becoming a surrogate mother. However, I use an IUD for contraception. Will this be a problem? - Maggie in OH - Top

    Maggie,

    An IUD is a great form of contraception for a potential surrogate. Our SM had her's removed in April we did our first insems in May, skipped June
    because she was on vacation, and got pg on our second set of insems in July.

    Maggie,

    Hi! I don't think it should. BUT I would definately ask your OB/GYN and another physician.
