And when you are done using the uterus, you can choose to stop taking anti-rejection meds and it will all just wither away. That's all I needed to hear. I'm out. But best of luck to those girls who want to do it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2356513 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 16:57:07 +0000 Mrs. D 2356513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2356425 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 14:16:25 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2356425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't read the article yet but would insurance even cover this? Aside from the experience of being pregnant it kind of seems like surrogacy would be a good option with less risks. (?)</p> <p>Edit.. Ok I skimmed it and I guess a huge part of the purpose is the pregnancy experience. I don't get why the one woman's insurance pays for that, but I guess all policies are probably different re: IF. About surrogacy I can see why there are ethical concerns when someone is paying someone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2356024 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 17:35:42 +0000 travelgirl1 2356024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this yesterday. So amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2356018 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 17:29:31 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2356018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: true. I didn't think about that aspect. I recently had a c section and watched a medical video about how they do it and it was quite intense. So I guess a uterus transplant would be quite the undertaking. I wonder what the criteria would be for it. Also donating a uterus would be quite major too. The article I read was about a daughter who used her mother's uterus because she had to get hers removed due to cancer I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2356012 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 17:27:50 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2356012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read about it a few months ago and it's amazing that it is possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2355418 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 10:53:22 +0000 NavyRN2012 2355418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is wonderful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2355341 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 10:12:45 +0000 CakeLady 2355341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fascinating. Though, as someone who has had two uterine surgeries (myomectomy and c-section), neither on the scale of a transplant, this sounds like a very intense process with huge recovery time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2355254 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:25:04 +0000 MrsSCB 2355254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was just reading this last night -- so cool.

It's certainly interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2355249 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:22:50 +0000 LibbyLou 2355249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow that's fascinating. I have actually seen transplants done live (kidney though) so I can envision this how the described it. I wonder how far out it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2355237 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:17:31 +0000 ms.line 2355237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uterus-transplant#post-2355226 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:13:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 2355226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone been following this? it sounds like a huge medical step forward for infertility, they were talking about it on our local radio station today! what are your thoughts?</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/13/health/uterus-transplants-may-soon-help-some-infertile-women-in-the-us-become-pregnant.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/13/health/uterus-transplants-may-soon-help-some-infertile-women-in-the-us-become-pregnant.html?_r=0</a> </p>
