THIRD PARTY/SURROGACY
The surrogate uterus, also known as surrogacy or gestational surrogacy, is an assisted reproduction procedure that provides couples or individuals facing difficulties in conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term with the opportunity to have a biological child using the uterus of another woman, known as a “surrogate mother” or “gestational carrier.”
In this process, the eggs from the biological mother (or a donor) are fertilized with sperm from the biological father (or a donor) in a laboratory using the in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique. Once a viable embryo is obtained, it is transferred to the uterus of the gestational woman, who will carry the pregnancy to term and give birth to the baby.
The surrogate gestational carrier does not have any genetic connection to the baby, as the eggs and sperm belong to the intended biological parents. However, her altruistic and generous contribution allows the couple or individual facing conception challenges to have their own child.
This surrogate uterus process is carried out under strict medical, ethical, and legal controls to ensure the safety and well-being of both the gestational carrier and the baby.
At our fertility clinic, ViaFERT, we have a highly trained and experienced medical team in the field of gestational surrogacy. We work with integrity and empathy to guide our patients through this process, providing emotional support and specialized medical care at every stage.
