The Surrogacy Process

The Surrogacy Process is an amazing journey for both you and the Intended Parent(s). Fertility Miracles is looking for women 21-38 years of age, non-smokers, and who have had a positive pregnancy and delivery experience.

Upon a successful Surrogacy Match, the Surrogate will undergo the following steps during the surrogacy.
1
 Meet with the physician and staff of the Intended Parent(s) for a pelvic exam, ultrasound, blood work, cultures for sexually transmitted diseases, and toxic substances.
2
 Consultation with an attorney to review the legal contract between yourself and the Intended Parent(s).
3
 A cycle calendar will be provided to you with important dates and prescription medications. This cycle calendar will mirror the Intended Mother or Egg Donor. The physician’s office will go over in detail the names of the medications, instructions on use, and side effects if any. It is important to note that once injections begin, that the Surrogate must abstain from sexual intercourse.
4
 Approximately 3-5 days after the egg retrieval from the Intended Mother or Egg Donor, an embryo transfer will occur. Most physicians’ offices will instruct the Surrogate to be on bed rest for the first 36-48 hours following the transfer. Depending upon the location of the Surrogate, this can either take place at the Surrogate’s home or hotel accommodations will be provided.
5
 Twelve to fourteen days after the date of the embryo transfer, a blood pregnancy test will be ordered to determine whether the Surrogate Mother is pregnant.
6
 Once the pregnancy is confirmed, you will continue to see the physician every week to two weeks for follow up ultrasound and blood work to monitor the viability of the pregnancy and to evaluate if there are multiple gestations.
7
 After twelve weeks gestation, the Surrogate will then be released to their own Obstetrician for the remainder of the pregnancy and delivery.
