I feel like a lunatic...

Dh & I are finding it extremely difficult to cope with the fact that surrogacy may be our only option to give dh a biological child... I want so bad to find a way to overcome this hurdle... I can't find a single precedent for this having occured, however- thru western medicine or natural alternatives... I have likely been sensitized since our first mc in 2008, & sensitization has likely increased drastically with each loss since then because I didn't receive the Rhogam shot after each loss to prevent sensitization... I have invested almost 6 years of blood, sweat, & tears into giving dh a baby... My mind & heart are utterly reeling right now... I'm grasping at straws to maintain any shred of hope I can muster... Maybe if I suppress my immune system I can reduce the attack on a baby... Maybe if I purify my blood enough I can get rid of at least some of those antibodies... Maybe if I cleanse my liver & kidneys enough, they will filter out at least some of those antibodies... Maybe if I can maximize my liver function, my spleen will produce less toxic blood... Maybe if I take iron(sourced from liver) & beetroot I can help a baby to build healthy enough blood cells to be able to withstand the attack of the antibodies & avoid the severe anemia caused by rhesus disease... Maybe if I eat cucumbers everyday & carefully avoid flouride at all costs, I'll produce enough collagen to build a super strong sack around the placenta so that the antibodies can't invade & attack a baby's blood cells... Maybe I can get regular blood dialysis to filter out the antibodies, so they don't attack a baby... Apparently nobody has tried any of this- ever... How is it even possible that in all the years of civilization, nobody has come up with any better option than a Rhogam shot which has been linked to health problems such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, & blood transfusions? How is it possible that I am part of the mere 15 percent of the population with a -RH Factor? How ironic is it that my dh is B+?
