Surrogacy
Surrogacy is a third-party reproductive solution where another woman (the surrogate) carries a child for someone else (the intended parents). It's considered when pregnancy is not possible, unsafe, or has previously failed.
Who Might Consider Surrogacy?
- Women with absent or abnormal uterus
- Women facing severe health risks during pregnancy (e.g., cardiac issues, uterine scarring)
- Women with recurrent miscarriage or repeated IVF failure
- Same-sex male couples or single men
- Individuals unable to carry due to gender transition or medical limitations
Surrogacy Process Overview
- Initial consultation and thorough medical, psychological, and legal screening
- Matching with a surrogate via agency or independently
- Signing legal agreements between all involved parties
- IVF treatment and embryo transfer to the surrogate
- Routine prenatal monitoring and care
- Delivery followed by legal parental transfer to intended parents
