What Is Gestational Surrogacy?
Gestational surrogacy is a method in which an embryo, created through in vitro fertilization (IVF), is transferred to a surrogate mother who has no genetic connection to the child. The egg and sperm used to create the embryo may come from the intended parents or donors. Gestational surrogacy is the most common form of surrogacy today, as it avoids the legal and ethical complications associated with traditional methods, where the surrogate is the genetic mother.
People choose gestational surrogacy for various reasons, including infertility, health complications, or the need for same-sex couples to have biological children. The success rates for gestational surrogacy are also promising—pregnancy and live birth rates following embryo transfer are often on par with standard IVF, with controlled risks for preterm births and infant health. If you're wondering, "How long does the surrogacy process take?" it typically ranges from 18 to 24 months, depending on several factors, including medical readiness and matching surrogates with intended parents.
