Surrogacy has been in use since the 1980s, but unlike being veiled under legal red tape and secrecy at that time, it is now more of a routine option for the couples who could otherwise never have a baby who inherited their genetic heritage.

What is Surrogacy?

It is a process wherein a woman carries a pregnancy for another couple who is either suffering from the severe fertility problems or is a single parent desire for a genetically matching baby. The woman carrying the baby of the intended parents is called a Surrogate.

In surrogacy, an embryo is created using sperm and egg produced by intending parents (or donors) and is then transferred to surrogate mother’s uterus. It is possible that surrogate has no genetic link to the child as the intending parents may or may not choose to conceive using surrogate’s egg. At our Fertility Centre in Ludhiana, Punjab Surrogacy Process is done by utmost care.

Surrogacy can be classified into two, choosing either of which depends on the intensity of the fertility problem in the intended parents.

These two types of surrogacy: Traditional and Gestational, differs each other by whose egg is used.

Traditional surrogacy– More commonly termed as the partial or straight surrogacy, the surrogate woman in this arrangement is a biological mother of the child.

The surrogate is inseminated with the sperm from-

  • The intended couple- if the couple is suffering from uterus and egg problems and cannot host a pregnancy.
  • Sperm donor- if both the partners in a couple possess fertility problems

It is also helpful for couples having no female partner.

Gestational Surrogacy– It is a costly & complicated procedure wherein the surrogate is not a biological mother of the child. The surrogate’s uterus is implanted with the embryo created using the parent’s gametes or donor gametes or is a combination of both, using the In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process.

It is beneficial for the-

  • The couple who has healthy eggs but not the healthy uterus.
  • A gay couple who can use the donor eggs from a female unable to hold a pregnancy.
