Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman, known as a surrogate or gestational carrier, agrees to carry and give birth to a child for another person or couple, referred to as the intended parents.

There are two main types of surrogacy:

Gestational Surrogacy

In this method, the surrogate carries a child conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) using the egg and sperm of the intended parents or donors. The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child, making this the most common and legally recognized form of surrogacy.

Traditional Surrogacy

In this less common approach, the surrogate uses her own egg, which is fertilized with the sperm of the intended father or a donor. As the surrogate is genetically related to the child, this type of surrogacy involves more complex legal and emotional considerations.

Surrogacy as a fertility option.

Surrogacy can be a viable solution for individuals and couples facing reproductive challenges, which include:
Women with Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions may prevent a woman from carrying a pregnancy safely.
Infertility: Couples who have experienced infertility, particularly when other treatments have been unsuccessful.
Single Individuals: single men and women who wish to have biological children.
Repeated Pregnancy Loss: Couples who have experienced recurrent miscarriages.

The Surrogacy Process at Gynescope

At Gynescope Specialist Hospital, we prioritize a supportive and structured approach to surrogacy, ensuring that all parties are well-informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Here’s a step-by-step overview of the surrogacy journey with us:

The surrogacy process begins with an in-depth consultation with our top fertility specialist. During this meeting, we assess the medical history, reproductive goals, and eligibility of the intended parents and potential surrogates. This initial assessment allows us to create a personalized surrogacy plan tailored to meet your needs.

Matching with a surrogate.

Finding the right surrogate is a crucial step in the process. At Gynescope, we work with reputable agencies and conduct thorough screenings to match you with surrogates who align with your values and expectations. This includes evaluating the surrogate's medical, psychological, and legal aspects to ensure a compatible and harmonious partnership.

Legal and ethical considerations

Surrogacy involves carefully drafted legal agreements that protect the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. You would be advised to make use of a professional with experience who specializes in reproductive law to draft and review contracts, ensuring clarity and compliance with local regulations.

IVF and Embryo Transfer

Once a suitable match is made and legal agreements are finalized, the IVF process begins. Eggs will be retrieved from the surrogate mother or a donor and fertilized with sperm from the intended father or a donor in our state-of-the-art laboratory. The resulting embryos are cultured and monitored for quality before being transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.

We are not just a hospital; we understand the emotional and logistical complexities of surrogacy. Our comprehensive approach is built on expertise, empathy, and excellence, offering several advantages. We make sure to walk with you all through the journey and beyond.
