Surrogacy

“Surrogacy” program is provided to women that can not carry a pregnancy.

IVF surrogacy - this is where a woman carries a pregnancy created by the egg and sperm of genetic couple. The carrier is not genetically related to the child.

To whom surrogacy is advised?

There are several groups of patients that natural and IVF surrogacy may be advised to.

IVF surrogacy

  • Women whose ovaries are producing eggs but they do not have uterus this could be because they have had a hysterectomy (removal of uterus) performed due to cancer, severe hemorrhage or ruptured womb, or they were born without a uterus. *This is by far the most common indication for IVF surrogacy.
  • A woman whose uterus is malformed or damaged and is incapable of carrying a pregnancy to term may be recommended IVF surrogacy.
  • Women who suffer from medical problems such as diabetes, heart and kidney diseases and in whom a pregnancy would be life threatening. However, their long term prospect for health is good.
  • Repeated miscarriages where the causes of miscarriage have been fully investigated, may also suggest IVF surrogacy treatment.
