Surrogacy

VF Surrogacy, Surrogate Mothering, Third Party Reproduction


  • In the very first year of its IVF services, Bavishi Fertility Institute offered IVF surrogacy treatment to a German couple. It was the first European couple to go to Asia for surrogacy treatment. Since than we have couples treated with IVF surrogacy from many countries including USA, UK, Finland etc.
  • Bavishi Fertility Institute has achieved highest number of pregnancies with IVF surrogacy in Gujarat state of India and one the highest in India. This has become true thanks to our high IVF success rate, stringent surrogate mother selection and dedicated painstaking efforts of whole of our team.
 

Procedure


  • The couple undergoes IVF + ICSI treatment in the usual way. When embryos are ready, the best embryos are selected for transfer. The embryos are transferred into the uterus of a host – surrogate mother, rather than that of the female partner of the couple.
  • Hundred percent genetic material will be from the couple i.e. the child will have 100 % genetic inheritance from the couple. The surrogate will act as host mother till the time of birth of the child. She then hands over the child to the couple.

    To achieve complete control of cycle and achieve optimum outcome.
    Her endometrium is prepared to receive embryos, with estrogen hormone.
    When embryos of the couple are ready, they are transferred in the uterus of the surrogate mother.
  • The mother is given medicines, which help implantation of embryos and their development. The medicines support pregnancy also if she conceives in that attempt. Blood of surrogate is checked for presence of pregnancy on day 13 and 15 after embryo transfer.
  • If pregnancy test is positive, pregnancy support drugs are continued. Mother is regularly observed and treated for pregnancy care.
  • If pregnancy is negative, the drugs are stopped. The surrogate gets her period.
  • Same attempt is repeated. If the couple had their embryos frozen, the frozen embryos can be used. If there are no frozen embryos, the couple has to undergo a fresh IVF cycle.
