Surrogacy Fertility Treatment

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction where a woman, known as a surrogate, carries and delivers a baby for another person or couple (intended parents). Surrogacy is often chosen by individuals or couples who cannot conceive or carry a pregnancy due to medical, biological, or personal reasons.

There are two types of surrogacy:

Gestational Surrogacy: The surrogate and the child are genetically unrelated. The embryo is created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) using the egg and sperm of the intended parents or donors.

Traditional Surrogacy: The surrogate provides her egg, making her biologically related to the baby. This type is less common and legally complex.  


Our Procedure for Surrogacy Will Include:

  • Selecting a Surrogate:
            * Surrogates are chosen through agencies or personal connections.
            * Ideal candidates are healthy women aged 21–45, with a history of successful pregnancies and a stable support system.
  • Medical and Psychological Screening:
            * Surrogates undergo medical evaluations to ensure they can safely carry a pregnancy.
            * Tests screen for infections like HIV and hepatitis, and vaccinations like MMR and Tdap are required.
            * Psychological assessments ensure the surrogate is emotionally prepared.
  • Legal Agreements:
            * Contracts outline roles, compensation, responsibilities, and sensitive matters like pregnancy risks or termination.
            * Legal teams ensure compliance with local surrogacy laws.
  • IVF and Embryo Transfer:
            * Eggs are retrieved from the intended mother or donor and fertilized with sperm in a lab.
            * The surrogate's uterus is prepared with fertility medications, and the embryo is transferred.
  • Pregnancy Care:
            * The surrogate attends prenatal checkups, follows health guidelines, and delivers the baby to the intended parents.
