Surrogacy offers a path to parenthood for many individuals and couples who face challenges with conception or pregnancy. At Beverly Hills Fertility, we are committed to providing a seamless and supportive surrogacy experience for our patients. This article explores the key steps in the surrogacy process and how our clinic supports you along the way.

Understanding Surrogacy

Surrogacy involves a surrogate mother who agrees to carry and deliver a child for another individual or couple. There are two main types of Surrogacy: traditional and gestational. Traditional surrogacy involves the surrogate’s own eggs, while gestational surrogacy uses the eggs of the intended mother or an egg donor. At Beverly Hills Fertility, we specialize in gestational surrogacy, ensuring that the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby.

The Surrogacy Process

1. Initial Consultation

The journey begins with an initial consultation at Beverly Hills Fertility. During this meeting, we discuss your surrogacy goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. This consultation helps us understand your needs and create a personalized surrogacy plan.

2. Medical and Psychological Screening

Both intended parents and surrogates undergo comprehensive medical and psychological screenings. This step ensures that all parties are healthy and emotionally prepared for the surrogacy process. Our clinic uses advanced technology and expert evaluations to assess the suitability of potential surrogates.

3. Legal Agreements

Surrogacy involves detailed legal agreements to protect the rights of all parties involved. Our clinic provides access to legal professionals who specialize in reproductive law to draft and review these agreements. These contracts outline the responsibilities, rights, and expectations of the intended parents and the surrogate.

4. Matching Process

Matching intended parents with a suitable surrogate is a crucial step in the process. Our clinic uses a careful matching system to ensure compatibility between the surrogate and the intended parents. This process involves thorough interviews and background checks to ensure a positive and harmonious relationship.

5. IVF and Embryo Transfer

Once the surrogate is selected, the IVF process begins. This involves fertilizing the eggs of the intended mother or an egg donor with sperm from the intended father or donor. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. Our clinic uses cutting-edge technology to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy.

6. Pregnancy Monitoring

Throughout the pregnancy, our clinic provides regular monitoring and care to ensure the health of both the surrogate and the baby. This includes routine check-ups, ultrasounds, and any necessary medical interventions. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care and addressing any concerns that may arise.

7. Birth and Post-Birth Care

When the baby is born, our clinic ensures a smooth transition for the intended parents and the surrogate. Post-birth care includes follow-up visits and support for both the surrogate and the baby. Our goal is to ensure that the delivery and post-delivery experience are positive and fulfilling for all parties.
