The ability to remove eggs from a woman and fertilize them outside her body, and subsequently place the fertilized eggs back into the woman opened up a world of opportunity for women with challenges carrying their pregnancies for a variety of reasons. They simply get help to carry the pregnancy and nurture it.
Gestational surrogacy involves another lady helping to carry a pregnancy produced by the egg(s) and sperm of another couple. Her womb is simply borrowed to nurture the embryo and after delivery, the baby is reunited with the couple who will be the rearing parents.
It is important to note that the baby delivered has the genetic components of the parents from whom the egg and sperm were taken.
Our surrogacy program involves carrying out the IVF procedure on the couple and then transferring the embryo into the surrogate after preparing the uterine lining of the surrogate to receive the embryo. The surrogate undergoes several tests before being used to carry the embryo. Couples could choose their surrogate of choice or the clinic could arrange to make one available. The process of getting a surrogate involves legal documentation.
You can talk with us if you think you and your partner will need a surrogate to complete your family.
