Surrogacy
Overview
Surrogacy is a life-changing solution for individuals or couples who cannot conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. This assisted reproductive technique involves a surrogate mother who agrees to carry a child on behalf of the intended parents. At Yellow IVF, we combine advanced medical technology with compassionate care to help you realize your dream of parenthood.
Surrogacy is performed to assist individuals facing medical or biological challenges in conceiving or carrying a child. Common reasons include:
- Medical conditions affecting the uterus.
- Recurrent miscarriages.
- Health risks associated with pregnancy for the intended mother.
- Same-sex couples or single parents seeking biological children.
Ideal Candidates for Surrogacy
Surrogacy may be the right option for:
- Individuals or couples unable to conceive naturally.
- Women with uterine abnormalities or absence of a uterus.
- Couples with a history of unsuccessful IVF treatments.
- Same-sex male couples or single men desiring a biological child.
- Those with medical contraindications to pregnancy.
How Do You Prepare for the Procedure?
Preparation for surrogacy involves multiple steps to ensure a successful journey:
- Consultation: Meet with fertility specialists to discuss your medical history and surrogacy goals.
- Legal Agreements: Establish legal contracts between intended parents and the surrogate to protect everyone’s rights.
3. Health Assessments: Both intended parents and the surrogate undergo comprehensive health evaluations.
Procedure
- Egg Retrieval and Fertilization: Eggs from the intended mother or a donor are fertilized with sperm from the intended father or donor through IVF.
- Embryo Transfer: The fertilized embryo is transferred into the surrogate’s uterus.
- Pregnancy Monitoring: The surrogate’s pregnancy is closely monitored through regular check-ups to ensure the health and well-being of both the surrogate and the baby.
After the Procedure
Once the surrogate delivers the baby:
- The newborn is handed over to the intended parents.
- Post-delivery care and counseling are provided to the surrogate.
- Legal formalities, including birth certificate issuance, are completed as per regulatory guidelines.
Results
Surrogacy offers the joy of parenthood to those who may not otherwise experience it. With Yellow IVF’s meticulous approach, the process ensures a high success rate and a positive experience for all involved
