Surrogacy

Surrogacy by Dr. Priya Khamatkar in Navi Mumbai

What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is the process of a woman carrying and delivering a baby for another individual or couple. Surrogacy often includes the use of assisted reproductive technologies to create an embryo outside the body, which is then implanted into the surrogate's uterus.

Process Overview of Surrogacy in IVF

Initial Consultation:The intended parents meet with a fertility specialist to discuss their expectations and decide if surrogacy is suitable.
Selection of Surrogate: A surrogate is chosen either through an agency or by mutual agreement, considering factors like health, legalities, and compatibility.
Medical Procedures: The surrogate and intended mother (or egg donor) undergo hormonal treatments to synchronize their menstrual cycles.
Egg Retrieval and Fertilization: Eggs are extracted from the intended mother or donor and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory to create embryos.
Embryo Transfer: The resulting fertilized embryos are transferred into the surrogate's uterus via a medical procedure.
Pregnancy and Birth: The surrogate carries the pregnancy to term, and after birth, the legal process ensures the transfer of parental rights to the intended parents.

Why Should One Consider Cryopreservation in IVF?

Medical Reasons

Individuals who cannot carry a pregnancy due to medical conditions such as uterine issues, repeated IVF failures, or pregnancy risks may opt for surrogacy.

Genetic Reasons

Surrogacy allows genetic parents to have a biological child using their own sperm and egg, overcoming fertility challenges.

Same-Sex Couples

Surrogacy offers a path to parenthood for same-sex couples who want to have a child genetically related to one or both partners.

Risk Reduction

Surrogacy can mitigate the risks associated with pregnancy for individuals with health concerns or those who have experienced medical complications in previous pregnancies.

Family Balancing

Surrogacy enables couples to balance their family size or have a child when traditional pregnancy methods are not feasible.
