Traditional versus Gestational Surrogacy
by Heather Weller
When it comes to surrogacy, there are two types currently used: "traditional" and "gestational." Traditional surrogacy is done via artificial insemination, with the surrogate using her egg and another man's sperm. Gestational surrogacy is done via In Vitro Fertilization(IVF), where fertilized eggs from another woman are implanted into the surrogate's uterus. Choosing which route to take is one of the most important and earliest decisions a surrogate or intended parents through surrogacy will have to make.
Traditional surrogacy used to be the only way for a couple to use a surrogate, and is still used by many people.Artificial insemination is easy, pretty painless, and significantly less expensive than IVF, a selling point for many surrogates and intended parents. There is a high success rate when working with a surrogate with proven fertility, and the rebound time after a failed attempt is a matter of weeks (unlike IVF, where it's often months).
There are a few ways of actually performing the inseminations: doctors may perform intrauterine inseminations (IUIs) or cervical inseminations (ICIs) depending on the quality of sperm, whether they're working with fresh or frozen sperm, and personal preference. ICIs are basically the "turkey baster" method one imagines when speaking of artificial insemination, although it's a small catheter rather than any cooking utensil used to actually deposit the semen by the cervix. IUIs are done only with washed sperm - that's semen that's been sent through a centrifuge and spun until the seminal fluid is removed from the sperm, and only the strongest little swimmers remain. A catheter is threaded through the cervix into the uterus, and the sperm are inserted through it directly to the uterus. Another option is home inseminations, where the surrogate simply does an ICI at home with the sperm. This is free (other than the cost of a few medical supplies required) and allows more privacy; however, some people are more squeamish about doing it themselves instead of having a doctor do the procedure. Some have also done homeinseminations to avoid the quarantine period many states require when working with sperm not from a woman's husband.
In general, traditional surrogates do not have to be on any special medications. They keep track of their own menstrual cycle and time the inseminations around when they naturally ovulate. In some cases, intended parents and their surrogate will choose to use mild fertility drugs, such as Clomid, to fine-tune the timing of ovulation or increase the chances of twins. Through charting their Basal Body Temperature, watching their cervical mucous, and using ovulation predictors or fertility monitors, and/or through ultrasound monitoring by a clinic, the surrogate can pinpoint when she's most likely to ovulate and do the inseminations to coincide with this.

Kenny Rogers featured in Billboard’s 50 th  Anniversary of Adult Contemporary chart   Rogers’ Ranks Sixth-Best All Time and Fourth-Best Male with 28 AC Top 10 hits Nashville, TN (August 25, 2011) – According to Billboard, Kenny Rogers’ 28 Adult Contemporary Top 10’s are sixth-best all-time, and fourth-best among men, trailing only Elton John, Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley.  Kenny Rogers' feats on the AC chart include 47 hits, tying him with Barry Manilow for seventh-most in the chart's history. No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding. A few hours later, they robbed a bank in G
