Surrogacy Treatment in India – Yashoda IVF & Fertility Centre

What is Surrogacy:A Path to Parenthood at Yashoda Fertility and IVF Centre

At Yashoda Fertility and IVF Centre, we understand that the journey to parenthood can sometimes present unique challenges. For individuals and couples facing specific fertility hurdles, surrogacy offers a remarkable opportunity to build their families. Surrogacy is a remarkable medical arrangement where a woman, known as the surrogate, carries a pregnancy for intended parents who cannot carry a pregnancy themselves. At Yashoda Fertility and IVF Centre, we primarily offer gestational surrogacy, the most common and legally preferred method.

In gestational surrogacy, an embryo is created using the intended parents’ (or donor) eggs and sperm through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and then placed in the surrogate’s uterus. Crucially, the surrogate has no genetic link to the child, as the embryo is not formed from her egg.

Traditional Surrogacy vs. Gestational Surrogacy: Understanding the Difference

The world of surrogacy primarily involves two distinct approaches:

Traditional Surrogacy: In this less common method, the surrogate mother uses her own eggs, which are then fertilized with sperm from the intended father or a donor. This means the surrogate will have a genetic relation with the child.

Gestational Surrogacy: This is the most prevalent and preferred form of surrogacy. Here, the surrogate carries an embryo created through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) using the eggs and sperm of the intended parents or donor gametes. The gestational surrogate has no genetic link to the child, simplifying legal processes and reducing emotional complexities.

When to Consider Surrogacy: Addressing Fertility Challenges

Surrogacy becomes a viable and often necessary option for various reasons, including:

Recurrent IVF Failure: For many, IVF offers incredible hope, but repeated unsuccessful cycles can be emotionally and physically taxing. When high-quality embryos repeatedly fail to implant, surrogacy can provide a healthy uterine environment, significantly increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Uterine Conditions: Certain uterine conditions can make carrying a pregnancy to term unsafe or impossible for the intended mother. These can include:

Absence of a uterus (congenital or due to hysterectomy)
Severe uterine fibroids or scarring
Adenomyosis or other structural abnormalities of the uterus
Medical conditions where pregnancy poses a significant health risk to the intended mother (e.g., severe heart disease).

Same-Sex Couples: Under India's current surrogacy laws, same-sex couples are generally not allowed to pursue surrogacy.. The law specifies that surrogacy is available to legally married heterosexual Indian couples.

Single Parents: Similarly, under the existing regulations in India, surrogacy is generally not permitted for single parents (male or female). The law outlines eligibility criteria that primarily focus on married heterosexual Indian couples.

Yashoda Fertility and IVF Centre strictly adheres to all national and local regulations governing surrogacy.

Our Surrogacy Process at Yashoda Fertility and IVF Centre

At Yashoda Fertility and IVF Centre, we guide you through a structured and compassionate surrogacy journey. Our process begins with an Initial Consultation & Counseling to understand your needs and discuss eligibility based on current Indian surrogacy laws.

Next, we proceed with thorough Medical and Psychological Evaluation for both intended parents and the potential surrogate, ensuring everyone’s well-being. We then facilitate Matching with a Surrogate, who, as per Indian law, must be a close relative.

Once a match is found and all evaluations are positive, Legal Contracts are meticulously drafted and executed, outlining responsibilities and protecting all parties. The IVF Procedure & Embryo Transfer follows, where embryos are created and transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.

We ensure dedicated Pregnancy Monitoring and Delivery, with regular check-ups and support for the surrogate. It’s important to note that in India, only altruistic surrogacy is permitted, meaning financial compensation to the surrogate (her surrogate price) is limited to medical expenses and insurance. We diligently follow all guidelines – ethical and legal to make your dream of parenthood a reality.
