Becoming a surrogate mother means making a childless family happy.
We help meet these amazing women and families who are really looking forward to their baby.
How it all happens
At the very beginning, as soon as you announce your decision become a surrogate mother, you will have a personal curator to resolve any issues. Both during pregnancy and after childbirth, the surrogate mother is surrounded by attention and care - after all, a lot depends on her health, comfort and peace of mind.
Medical examination
Your well-being and good health is the key to the successful onset and course of pregnancy. The curator will create a schedule for you to see doctors and remind you about taking medications. You will undergo regular medical examinations, ultrasounds, tests - both in preparation for the program and, even in the postpartum period, to make sure that everything is fine with you after the birth of the baby.
The first medical examination includes examination, ultrasound, and blood tests. Everyone is tested for sexually transmitted and other infections. The surrogate mother's husband may also have to undergo tests to rule out any sexually transmitted diseases. Future surrogate mothers should not smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs - this is checked using tests. If the doctors are satisfied with the results of the examinations, the next step is a conversation with a psychologist.
Legal aspects
When the doctors and psychologist have confirmed that you are ready to participate in the program surrogacy and managers have selected suitable genetic parents for you, lawyers begin to prepare a contract for you. They will explain to you all the points of the contract.
Preparation for embryo transfer
The next stage is preparing the surrogate mother for embryo transfer. It lasts more than 2 weeks from the start of your natural cycle. Embryo transfer occurs approximately on the 14th day of the cycle. Doctors assess the degree of readiness of the uterus by the thickness of the endometrial layer. On the day of transfer, it should be from 9 mm to 12 mm.
During the preparation, you will undergo an ultrasound, several types of blood tests, intake or injections of hormonal drugs that will provide the best conditions for embryo implantation. You will be tested regularly so that doctors understand how your body is reacting to the medications.
How embryo transfer occurs
Embryo transfer is a relatively simple procedure and does not require anesthesia. Using a catheter, the doctor places the fertilized embryo into the uterine cavity. The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure maximum accuracy. After the transfer, you will need to rest a little in the clinic, and then you can go home or to an apartment rented for you to continue to relax and go about your quiet business.
In 10-12 days you will take a blood test to the hCG hormone. If the hCG level is above 75, pregnancy has occurred! After two days, the test is repeated to monitor the growth of hormone levels.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, you will need to have blood tests and ultrasounds to monitor the progress of your pregnancy. In addition, the doctor may ask for a complete blood count, Rh antibody test, glucose screening test, group B streptococcus. Some diagnostic tests may be requested by genetic parents.
Throughout your entire pregnancy, you will be taken care of by a kind and positive girl from the agency team, who knows everything about the program and is ready to help you in any situation. Agency managers take care of all communication with genetic parents: notification about the progress of pregnancy, a report on each doctor’s visit, about your life and emotional state. You will be completely protected from excessive care and anxiety of genetic parents.
