Medical Surrogacy Process

• Medical and Psychological Screenings

After signing with Made in the USA Surrogacy and matching with intended parents, surrogates will undergo a medical screening which involves a physical exam.  Blood work and laboratory testing  is done to screen for infectious diseases (the surrogate’s partner is screened as well). All this is done as well as an ultrasound. A psychological evaluation will also be performed to ensure that the surrogate is mentally and emotionally fit to handle the emotional demands of pregnancy and surrogacy. Again, once she is approved as a viable candidate for surrogacy, the surrogate proceeds to the next stage in the process.

• Regulating of Surrogate’s Cycle

At a fertility clinic, the surrogate is given birth control pills and other hormones (including oral estrogen; vaginal progesterone; injectable progesterone; and Lupron) which help regulate her cycle and prepare her uterus for the embryo transfer.

• IVF and Embryo Transfer

Gestational surrogacy involves using implanting the embryo of intended parents in a surrogate. This embryo is produced by fertilizing the egg of the intended mother with the sperm of the intended father through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Then, the embryo is transferred using a catheter which is inserted into the surrogate’s uterus via the cervix. This procedure is done under anesthesia and is pain-free. After the procedure, the surrogate will need some days off to rest.

• Confirmation of Pregnancy

About a week after the embryo transfer is performed, the surrogate will return to the fertility clinic to determine if the embryo implantation was successful and that she is pregnant. Pregnancy is determined by measuring the HCG level of the surrogate.

• Delivery

Delivery day is truly a momentous and exciting time for both surrogates and intended parents!
