The Gestational Surrogacy Process: Primary Indications

Couples may use the gestational surrogacy process if a woman is unable to have a pregnancy herself. In gestational surrogacy, another woman (a surrogate) will carry the pregnancy to hand the baby to their parents, who appointed the surrogate. The names of the intended parents are also printed on the baby’s birth certificate.

Gestational Surrogacy Process

There are Two Forms of Surrogacy:

  • Traditional Surrogacy, and 
  • Gestational Surrogacy. 
In the former, the surrogate donates her eggs for the pregnancy. She is usually a relative or close friend. In gestational surrogacy, there is no biological link between the surrogate and the baby. The intended parents may share a complete genetic link with the unborn child or not. They may opt for donor eggs or donor sperm, or both. In some cases, the parents may consider an embryo donation.

Due to the ethical, legal, and emotional issues involved.

If you present the following indications, you should consider pursuing the gestational surrogacy process:
  • You were born without a healthy uterus (Mullerian Agenesis).
  • Your uterus was removed (hysterectomy).
  • There is significant uterine scarring, i.e., Asherman’s Syndrome, or uterine abnormalities such as the inability to develop a supportive, thick uterine lining.
  • Medical conditions which make pregnancy risky for your health, i.e., hypertension, breast cancer, kidney disease, lupus, severe heart disease, cystic fibrosis, severe diabetes, preeclampsia with HELLP syndrome.
  • Chronic reproductive loss is not improved by treatment.
  • Uterine malformations cause multiple miscarriages or stop embryo implantation.
  • Multiple embryo implantation failures during IVF procedures.

Many Gay Couples Also Use Gestational Surrogacy To Become Parents

There is a myth that women who use surrogacy simply protect themselves from the burdens and after-effects of carrying a baby. This is far from the truth! Surrogacy entails intense emotional and financial involvement, from a step used to avoid stretch marks.

The surrogate will undergo an intense medical and psychological evaluation in the gestational surrogacy process, including screening. You will be assigned a third-party facilitator who will work closely with you to find the best surrogate to start your family.

Criteria You Must Meet To Be a Part of Egg Donor Agencies New York

If you’re thinking about donating your eggs to help another couple start their family, keep your eligibility in mind. Not every woman can donate her eggs. Although there are many egg donor agencies in NYC, each program varies in its criteria. However, some requirements are standard practice across all agencies. Some of these criteria are upheld for legal purposes, and other legalities are set to increase pregnancy chances and ensure a safe path for both recipients and donors. Usually, it is recommended that egg donors be at least 21 years of age and be not more than age 35. The minimum age limit ensures that you can legally enter a contract with the intended parents. The upper age limit is set because older women respond less effectively to fertility medications.
