Bipolar Disorder and Pregnancy

Hi, everyone!
I need an advice.
In 2007, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
I take medications, consult with my doctor every month.
In my family, this is not the first time a disease is diagnosed. My mother also had bipolar disorder. There are suspicions that the great-grandfather also had this diagnosis.
It is very difficult to cope with the depression that overpowers me. My husband and I want children very much, but I am convinced that the disease can be transmitted by inheritance. Here is a lot of information about it: https://www.verywellmind.com/will-my-child-inherit-my-bipolar-disorder-380477
I read many articles that the disease develops in children whose parents suffer from this disease. Plus, my possible pregnancy may be affected by the pills that I take.
Now my husband and I are considering the option of surrogacy or IVF with a donor egg cell. But I do not even know what to choose .... Here I read a lot about surrogacy: https://ivf-international.com/service/surrogacy
This may be a very acceptable option for us. Who can advise me on how to do the right thing?

I agree with what has been said that bipolar is inherited. My mother's mother had it, and her son. My mother did not have it but I inherited it from her mother, for it can skip a generation.

You also said, "It is very difficult to cope with the depression that overpowers me."

So how did I do as a parent with bipolar? Oh, well, I did pretty good. I like children, so I did OK. The medicine kept me functioning, I did have panic attacks from being on an anti-depressant but not on a stabilizer like Lithium, like I am now.

I had some depression but got over that with an anti-depressant. You say your depression is over-powering. So, it gets pretty bad? If it were over-powering and you had a child, would you be able to deal with that?
