There is an exhaustion that you get post-failed IVF cycle. It’s not just physical. It is the kind of silent mourning for hope gone unfulfilled and then shattered like glass, the questions that haunt you from the clinic. Before that moment, you sat at the countertop of Ekmi Fertility with one partner cradling their head in their hands and through tears describing every aspect of your lives. Hundreds of couples have gone through this at our clinic and we want to tell you honestly what comes next whether that is a failed implant, another IVF attempt or surrogacy – or completely different direction.
How Many Failed IVF Cycles Are Enough?
There is no one right answer, but here are some of the signs that our fertility specialists consider when determining whether to take a different tack:
- Recurrent implantation failure – three or additional failed transfers in spite of good-quality embryos
- Poor uterine receptivity confirmed on hysteroscopy/biopsy
- Medical problems such as fibroids, Asherman syndrome or recurrent pregnancy loss
- Age-related deterioration in egg quality which cannot be compensated with IVF
- Emotional and financial fatigue – also as valid a reason as any clinical one
The problem is really not your eggs (if you are making good embryos and they just won’t implant!) It’s the environment. And here is where a surrogacy mother can do everything.
Reasons of Families Opting for Surrogacy in India
The surrogacy laws in India are strict – designed to protect the surrogate and intended family, even if altruistic surrogacy has now been re-opened to specific classes of intended parents under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act. From day one, when you work with a trained surrogacy physician at a controlled first-class surrogacy hospital, your journey is criminally protected!
Hence, below are the reasons due to which surrogacy in India turns out to be a wise selection:
- Even the surrogacy cost in India is one-fifth compared to Western countries for an equally qualified medical practitioner.
- When you opt for surrogacy via clinics like that of Ekmi Fertility will include everything – from medical screening, legal documentation to surrogate and delivery.
- Affordable surrogacy with world class care, a vast infrastructure that makes it accessible has created this situation in India
- Families can know the outcomes, not just the possibilities with our ICS guaranteed surrogacy program
IVF vs Surrogacy – Not an Either/Or
Large number of families anticipating – surrogacy uses own patients’ embryos wherever is possible. So all of this hard work and expense is not for nothing – those embryos may be safely moved to a thoroughly-checked surrogate who can carry the pregnancy your body simply cannot now. The science is yours. The surrogacy cost is only for the carrying. What changes is the environment. However, you are still genetically related to your child.
Making the Decision
This is deeply personal. This is what some families need in order to be ready for IVF. For some, it stops seeming like hope and starts seeming like denial about the whole exercise of ongoing. Neither instinct is wrong. Never will a good fertility specialist rush you into surrogacy – but neither will they allow you to persist in cycling through failed transfers without giving you the hard conversation. You deserve the truth at Ekmi Fertility, and we also believe you deserve a little warmth. Not one without the other.
