AnswerHello Amy from the U.S.,
If you have ovaries, then you can achieve pregnancy using a surrogate. You would need to undergo a treatment process called In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), in order to stimulate the ovaries to grow multiple eggs, then extract them from your ovaries. The eggs are fertilized with your husband's sperm and allowed to grow into embryos. The embryos are then transferred into the prepared uterus of another woman, called a surrogate.
In terms of cost, I have no idea what other clinics charge so cannot help with that part. You'll have to check around. If you live in the state of Massachusetts, their socialized health care system covers IVF, so you might want to consider moving there.
Good Luck,
