Whether you are opting to go ahead with surrogacy or IVF, it is one of the greatest decisions that you will make – in every aspect of your life including money, emotions & law. However, many prospective parents enter the first clinic consultation without even knowing what to ask. They’re overwhelmed, hopeful, and trusting. That’s completely understandable. Before you do any signing, however, there are questions that stand to protect you from heartache – and paying much more than you should. We at Ekmi Fertility think an informed patient is a safe patient.
About Costs and Packages
Bear in mind that fees for surrogacy procedures vary significantly between clinics, and by “affordable surrogacy” we mean that what it actually includes can have very different connotations.
Ask these directly:
- What do you offer in your surrogacy packages? Medications, embryo transfers, surrogate compensation, delivery charges – all of it in writing.
- What does your guaranteed surrogacy program include? Does it include multiple attempts? What triggers a refund or continuation clause?
- Are there hidden costs? Ask specifically about losses, multiples, c-sections or NICU stays.
- What is surrogacy cost if the first transfer did not work?
Don’t let vague answers slide. A good fertility clinic will explain each line item down to the very last point without blinking an eye.
About the Surrogacy Mother
The health of the surrogate impacts your success. This is not merely ethics – it is biology.
- What kind of screening is done for surrogacy mother medically, psychologically and financially?
- Is the surrogate local or not and will you talk to her and vice versa if you want?
- How many surrogacies has she done before?
- How does the clinic support her during pregnancy?
The best surrogacy clinic does not merely match you with any accessible surrogate. They match you both perfectly, and care for her on your behalf.
About the Legal Side
Surrogacy laws in India have changed drastically. The law has given permission to only altruistic surrogacy and put a ban on commercial surrogacy. This decides for who is eligible and under what terms any deals are structured.
- Does the clinic have its own legal team or partner?
- How is the surrogacy agreement drafted to protect both parties?
- Will the child’s birth certificate carry both intended parents’ names?
- What do the legalities look like if there is a complication?
A surrogacy contract is never to be signed without independent legal review. A trustworthy surrogacy doctor will advise the same: they will give you some kind advice on it.

About IVF and Surrogacy
Many patients eventually turn to surrogacy only after years of IVF attempts. The clinic handling your surrogacy should also understand your full fertility history.
- How many embryos do I have that will work, and will my own embryos be used?
- What is your success rate for surrogacy IVF?
- Who is my doctor and how experienced are they?
