Majority of people are shocked to find out that IVF (in vitro fertilization) and surrogacy together can last 12-24 months with the help of medical, legal and matching awaits. So, here’s a little overview of what each stage usually entails.

• Stage 1: Consult & Medical Evaluation – 2 to 4 weeks – This is where you will meet with your surrogate doctor, go over your history and determine the best route for you. This is where embryo creation begins if you intend to have IVF.
• Stage 2: Personality Matching with the Surrogacy Mother – 1 to 3 months – Although matching is not a checkbox, finding the perfect surrogate mother is one of the most crucial steps in your path. This really is serious at Ekmi Fertility. We work with already screened, willing surrogacy mothers who fulfill both medical and psychological guidelines.
• Stage 3: Legalities and compliances – 4 to 8 weeks – India’s surrogacy laws have come a long way. When you work with the top surrogacy center it means there are legal experts who know what every clause is thus nothing gets left out to chance.
• Step 4: Travelling to The Clinic of Choice, Embryo Transfer & Confirmation – 2-6 weeks – Once the surrogate is medically ready, the doctor performs the embryo transfer. A positive pregnancy confirmation often occurs in two weeks or less.
• Stage 5: Pregnancy and Monitoring – 9 months – This is the longest stage, where your fertility specialist will monitor the surrogate as well as pregnancy progress throughout. This involves regular check-ins, medical assistance, and emotional care.
