Surrogacy is a lot more than that: it’s medical, and then some. It is a journey that spans three aspects of how you build your family: the medical process, legal requirements and emotional experiences. Here at Ekmi Fertility we have helped hundreds of couples going through this process, and we know that having an idea what to expect helps to make the journey easier and less daunting.
Understanding the Surrogacy Process
Surrogacy occurs when another woman carries and delivers a baby for the would-be parents, who are unable to do so themselves. The full surrogacy process is generally 18-24 months long; however, all circumstances are unique to each family.
Medical Aspects of Surrogacy
The surrogate journey of surrogacy in medical terms comprises the following closely followed steps:
Initial Screening Phase:
Full health assessments for future parents
Comprehensive medical history and fertility evaluation
Testing for infectious diseases and genetic testing
Full psychological assessment of all participants
IVF and Embryo Transfer:
Retrieval of eggs from the Intended mother or egg donor
Treatment with intended father’s sperm in our lab
Embryo development and quality assessment
Estrogen programming in the surrogate’s uterus
Embryo transfer (usually one or two embryos)
Pregnancy Monitoring:
Regular ultrasounds and blood tests
Prenatal care coordination
The surrogate working with the medical team and intended parents
Delivery planning and postnatal arrangements
Legal Framework of Surrogacy
The surrogacy law in India is strictly regulated under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act:
Only altruistic surrogacy is allowed (no commercial contracts)
Surrogates need to be close relatives of the intended parents
Complete documentation before treatment begins
Parental transfer can be established prenatally
Birth certificate naming intended parents
Our lawyers at Ekmi Fertility take care of the documentation to make certain that all applications for surrogacy are in accordance with existing norms and everyone’s rights are protected.
The Emotional Journey
Here’s something that most people don’t discuss as much: the emotional parts of surrogacy are just as important as the medical portions.
For Intended Parents: The experience is both exhilarating and scary. You are creating your family, but it’s someone else that carries your baby. Regular counseling can help you to sort out these complex feelings.
For Surrogate Mothers: We provide continual psychological assistance for our surrogates. They know they’re bringing a gift, and we make sure they are always treated with dignity and respect.
Establishing a Relationship: We promote the establishment of open lines of communication between our prospective parents and surrogates. Many families become friends that last beyond the birth.
