Gestational Surrogacy is somehow not completed without IVF procedure. In this surrogacy, eggs are retrieved from the female partner, semen sample is collected from the male, and then keeping this combination on a culture dish, fertilization happens (by IVF). After fertilization, either one or two embryo is placed into the uterus of a surrogate who now onwards, has to take care of the baby till the delivery date. After completing nine month of pregnancy, the surrogate hands over to the intended couple.

Procedure of IVF – IVF is a simple and uncomplicated process. One major difference of Surrogacy and IVF is that, in surrogacy the female could not be able to hold the baby in her womb; while in IVF treatment, female partner carries an embryo till he/she becomes a baby in her own womb. During IVF, female partner starts taking the fertility drugs and medications, which have been prescribed from the fertility experts. Transvaginal ultrasound is performed after 8-10 days from the day-1 of fertility drugs. On the basis of the records, doctor fixes the date of the egg retrieval. On the day of egg retrieval, semen sample is also collected by the male partner. Placing these two combinations on culture dish, fertilization is achieved naturally (most active and highly motile sperm get fused in the egg). After successful fertilization, an embryo is transferred into the uterus of the female, after 10-14 days of placing an embryo; pregnancy check-up is done.
