Choosing surrogacy or IVF is not a decision you make lightly. It usually follows months – sometimes years – of trying, hoping and researching. If you are here, you’re probably sick of vague answers and want a real map. That’s exactly what this is. At Ekmi Fertility, where we’ve walked hundreds of intended parents through IVF and surrogacy in India, we know the first step is just figuring out what the process really entails. Let’s learn how to start your surrogacy journey in India step-by-step.
Step 1. Get a Medical Evaluation
Start with a full fertility work-up on both partners.
Your fertility specialist will review:
- Hormonal levels; uterine health; sperm parameters
- History of previous pregnancies or attempts at IVF
- Underlying conditions, if any, affecting embryo development
This assessment helps to conclude whether IVF alone will suffice or if surrogacy is the advised course of action. Some couples seeking surrogacy first pursue IVF – others come to us knowing from the start that surrogacy is their right path. Both are valid.
Step 2: Understand the Legal Basis
In India, the Surrogacy Regulation Act regulates surrogacy. Here’s what that means for you in practice:
- Only altruistic surrogacy is allowed – no commercial arrangements
- The surrogate mother needs to be a blood relative of either the intended couple
- The local medical facility should issue a certificate stating the necessity of such surrogacy for intending parents
- This process begins after an approval of a surrogacy board
So, you’re never out there alone, we have our surrogacy doctors in India working alongside legal experts who will take care of documentation, approvals and compliance.

Step 3: Select Your Surrogacy Plan
After medical and legal clearance, you would choose any of our surrogacy packages in India. These are laid out clearly – covering:
- Full prenatal & delivery care with Surrogate
- IVF cycle for embryo creation
- Legal and administrative costs
- Psychological support for all parties
- Neonatal care after birth
At Ekmi Fertility, we lay the cost of surrogacy in India from day 1. No ambiguity, no last-minute additions.

Step 4: The IVF & Embryo Transfer Process
That is the medical heart of the journey. Eggs are collected, fertilised in our lab and transferred to the surrogate with embryo. Our guaranteed surrogacy program in India is based on the idea of maximising embryo quality and transfer success – not simply doing a procedure, crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
Step 5: Verifying the Pregnancy and Hands Over
Our staff provides regular check-ups to the surrogate throughout her pregnancy. The baby enters the world, legal parentage is established through court order, and your new child comes home with you. What makes Ekmi Fertility the best surrogacy clinic for this step is continuity – the same team that started with you will take care of you to its end.
