HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
Depending on medical advice and the unique case of each couple, surrogacy can be achieved using: artificial insemination with semen from the future father, in vitro fertilization with the surrogate’s own eggs, IVF using donor eggs or by double donation, with both donor egg and donor sperm. Whatever the assisted reproduction technique chosen, to be able to perform the process of gestational surrogacy, the fundamentals are the surrogate, and the parents, whether homosexual or heterosexual, native or international.
Fertysurrogacy are specialists in gestational surrogate pregnancy with donor eggs, and collaborate with one of the largest gamete banks in the world. Below, we explain the process step by step:
1. RECRUITMENT PROGRAMME
Fertysurrogacy will put you in touch with a legal advisor in order to sign the surrogate pregnancy program and begin the process.
2. HEALTH CHECKS
An analytical phase where the state of health of the parents, genetic material of the sperm sample and other aspects are assessed.
3. DONOR SELECTION
To select the egg donor for the assisted reproduction treatment, you need to register at www.ovobankid.com and access the large catalogue of donors.
4. SURROGATE SELECTION
We undertake a rigorous process where the candidate surrogate is evaluated. She must in a good state of physical and mental health and have given birth naturally to at least one child, amongst other factors. The role of the surrogate in this treatment is to carry and give birth to the baby.
5. IVF AND TRANSFER
For In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), the egg donor must undergo an ovarian stimulation process in order to achieve a suitable quantity of eggs. Once mature eggs are obtained after an egg retrieval, they are fertilized and embryo transfer is scheduled. For this purpose, the surrogate must undergo endometrial preparation in order to receive the embryo.
6. Pregnancy
Ten days after the embryo transfer, the surrogate must attend a consultation for a test to confirm the presence of beta-hCG, the hormone indicating a pregnancy. Two weeks later, the specialist will perform the first ultrasound to re confirm the pregnancy.
7. PREGNANCY MONITORING
Fertysurrogacy provides you with all the facilities for real time monitoring of the pregnancy. Photographs, videos, daily video calls with specialists and the gestational surrogate, so that you are stay fully informed at all times.
