Types of Surrogacy

Gestational surrogacy plus egg donation is a type of surrogacy. It involves the use of both an egg donor and a surrogate mother to help the intended parents conceive a child.

Surrogacy of this type involves the use of an egg donor’s eggs. These eggs are fertilized in a laboratory with the intended father’s sperm. The embryo is transferred to the surrogate mother’s uterus. She carries the pregnancy until it is full-term. Finally, she gives birth to the child.

Which option is right for you? It depends on your individual circumstances and needs. Consider gestational surrogacy and gestational surrogacy plus egg donation. If both intended parents have viable eggs and sperm, gestational surrogacy may be the right option for you. Fertility issues or genetic concerns can make gestational surrogacy plus egg donation the better choice for intended parents.
