It involves assisted reproduction, where intended parents work with a gestational surrogate responsible for carrying and caring for their baby until birth. Intended parents turn to surrogacy to start or expand their families when independent conception is not possible. The surrogate commits to giving up the child at birth, and the parents, who will become the legal parents, adopt the child. To determine if surrogacy after infertility is suitable for you, consult your infertility counsellor and a surrogacy professional. They can provide knowledge into the surrogacy process, expectations, and assess whether you meet the criteria for intended parents pursuing surrogacy.

What Is The Meaning Of Surrogacy For Surrogate Mothers?
Going on the journey of becoming a surrogate is life changing. Surrogate mothers represent qualities of generosity and selflessness, driven by a great passion for family and a genuine desire to assist others in their search for parenthood. Many surrogates build lasting connections with their intended parents, remaining important parts of each other’s lives long after the baby arrives. Surrogates must fully commit emotionally, mentally, and physically to supporting their intended parents in order to offer the gift of parenthood, a huge and rewarding experience.
What Does Surrogacy Mean For Intended Parents?
As intended parents begin the emotionally fulfilling journey of parenthood through surrogacy, they place their trust not only in their gestational carrier but also in their agency. Despite the unavoidable ups and downs along the way, the birth of their baby represents a huge and happy part in their lives.
Types Of Surrogacy
There are basically three different types of surrogacy
Altruistic Surrogacy
This is a non-commercial surrogacy, where the birth mother does not receive any payment. This is allowed in many countries. Some states allow reasonable reimbursement of the surrogate mother’s medical expenses.
Traditional Surrogacy
In this type of surrogacy, the surrogate mother provides her own egg, which is inseminated with the commissioning father’s sperm. Since the baby is biologically the surrogate mother’s own child, there may be future issues concerning the child’s future right to information about her identity. Traditional surrogacy is not usually offered in many clinics due to legal requirements, but it is possible for the surrogate mother to inseminate herself at home. It is also possible to practice traditional surrogacy through an overseas clinic.
Commercial Surrogacy
This type of surrogacy involves a birth mother receiving payment or material benefit.
However, the Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill of 2019 aims to regulate this industry. It bans commercial surrogacy and permits altruistic surrogacy for infertile Indian couples. To be eligible for altruistic surrogacy, the couple must have been married for at least 5 years and must obtain certificates verifying the infertility of either partner from newly established regulatory bodies.

Assisted Reproduction
Surrogacy might include assisted reproduction treatment (such as IVF), using:
- the surrogate mother’s own eggs
- a donor’s eggs
- intended mother’s eggs
- intended father’s sperm
- donor sperm
What Is Surrogacy Process?
Stage 1: At Ekmi Fertility, we offer complete egg donation services, which include selecting the donor, providing counselling, compensating the donor, performing IVF, and conducting the embryo transfer to the recipient. Whether using your own eggs or donated ones, our team ensures the entire process is handled with perfection and confidentiality.
Stage 2: Choosing the right surrogate. We hand-pick your surrogate after the requisite screening and prepare her for the embryo transfer. This stage of the program includes pre-screening of the surrogate, endometrial priming, legal charges for the advocate, embryo transfer, and testing for pregnancy.
Stage 3: Monitoring the pregnancy. If your surrogate tests positive for pregnancy, we will give you the good news immediately. She is given accommodation for the duration of the pregnancy, and we ensure that she is cared for and monitored regularly. This includes medication, scans, procedures to keep track of the baby, and a balanced, nutritious diet. Of course, we will also keep you updated so that you can share your baby’s key developments.
Stage 4: Your baby’s birth. When your baby decides that it is time to make its arrival, around the estimated due date ideally, we will proceed with childbirth, either through normal delivery or via caesarean section, as required.
Stage 5: You compensate your surrogate by delivering the compensation fee to her after the birth of your child and the final signing of the contract agreement.

FAQs
Can A Baby Look Like The Surrogate Mother?
With gestational surrogacy, the surrogate is not genetically related to the embryo they carry, and so the baby will not look like them but will look like the intended parents.
Can A Woman Carry Another Woman’s Egg?
In a gestational-carrier arrangement, a woman becomes pregnant for another person(s) by inseminating her with sperm. The surrogate herself provides both the egg and carries the pregnancy, establishing a genetic link to the foetus she might carry.
