Surrogacy, the most common word in IVF and infertility domain, has become the hope of completing a family for a considerable number of intended couples and those who want to be a biological father of a beautiful baby.
Now, it has also become a necessity among those who have crossed the age of carrying the pregnancy in a natural way or those who are busy in making their career but need a baby too.
You may gain benefits from these services anywhere in the world legally, but the cost may be too high to afford.
Surrogacy is gaining momentum day after day that involves using one woman’s uterus to carry an embryo to deliver a baby for another person or couple.
A healthy young woman, who carries the embryo is known as the surrogate.
The process entails utilizing in-vitro fertilization to place the fertilized egg (deep freeze eggs too) into the uterus of the surrogate mother.
According to IVF specialists, surrogacy is divided into two categories that include:
- Traditional Surrogacy
- Gestational Surrogacy
Traditional Surrogacy – Commonly Used Method
Traditional surrogacy starts with the interest of surrogate who acts as both the egg donor and as the actual surrogate for the embryo; while she is impregnated through a process called as IUI or Intrauterine Insemination.
In this process, the doctor transfers sperm – taken from the biological father and subsequently transfer that sperm into the surrogate’s uterus so that the fertilization may take place naturally.
In this type of surrogacy, the surrogate mother in Georgia is the biological mother of the child; while this type of surrogacy is typically used – in case the biological mother’s egg or the biological father’s sperm are not able to make lady carry the pregnancy.
Gestational Surrogacy
In this type of surrogacy, eggs from surrogate mothers are not used.
In this way, the baby that is in the womb is not related to the lady biologically who carries the pregnancy.
In this type of surrogacy, an embryo is created by using both the biological father’s sperm and eggs from the biological mother that are processed medically through a process – called Vitro Fertilization.
In this way, the embryo is transferred to the uterus of the surrogate through this process that takes three to five days to embryos to develop in the laboratory before transferring them to the surrogate.
As soon as the embryo is placed successfully into the surrogate’s uterus, the surrogate mother becomes able to carry the embryo through the pregnancy term until its birth
As far as the success graph is concerned through this process, it depends on various points that include age, health, etc.
Not to mention the chances of pregnancy that are higher after using eggs that are taken from biological mothers who are otherwise infertile versus, when eggs are taken from fertile women.
In Georgia, the surrogacy financing options are available.
