IVF for surrogacy is a reproductive treatment in which intended parents create embryos through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and transfer them to a gestational surrogate who carries the pregnancy. The surrogate has no genetic link to the baby; the embryos are created using the intended mother’s eggs, intended father’s sperm, or donor eggs/sperm when needed.

For intended parents choosing Indian Egg Donors, IVF for surrogacy can take place in the USA or internationally depending on cost, legal requirements, and medical preferences. Different countries offer drastically different price ranges due to clinic fees, surrogate compensation, legal structure, and embryo creation costs.

Step-by-Step Process

Consultation & Country Selection

Indian Egg Donors helps you choose the country based on:
• Budget
• Legal requirements
• Whether you need donor eggs
• Timeline and success expectations

Parents may use:
• Their own eggs
• Donor eggs from the Indian Egg Donors database
• Frozen donor eggs internationally

This includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture (5–6 days). Optional PGT-A genetic testing helps improve implantation rates.

Surrogates undergo health, psychological, infectious disease, and uterine screening before approval.

Attorneys prepare agreements that outline rights, compensation, responsibilities, and parental rights.

The embryo is transferred to the surrogate in a licensed IVF clinic in the selected country.

Regular monitoring, fetal medicine scans, and legal documentation are coordinated.

Depending on the country, IPs receive:
• Birth certificate listing them as parents
• DNA testing (if required)
• Exit document support
