Surrogate motherhood
What is surrogate motherhood?
Surrogate motherhood is a special procedure when the pregnancy is carried not by the future mother, but by the surrogate mother.
Indications
Absence of the uterus (congenital or acquired);
Deformation of the cavity or cervix with congenital malformations or as a result of surgical interventions, benign tumors, due to which it is impossible to carry a pregnancy;
Structural-morphological or anatomical changes in the endometrium, leading to loss of receptivity, synechia of the uterine cavity, not amenable to treatment;
Severe somatic diseases in which carrying a pregnancy is fraught with the further health or life of the recipient, but not affecting the health of the future child;
Unsuccessful repeated attempts at ART (4 or more times) with repeated receipt of high-quality embryos, the transfer of which did not lead to pregnancy.
Treatment stages
Diagnostics
Before being accepted in the IVF program, a couple is invited to undergo a thorough examination to timely identify temporary or permanent contraindications to in vitro fertilization and timely correction of these conditions. If patients come to the clinic with fresh results of all necessary examinations, this item of the IVF program may be reduced or excluded. This reduces the cost of the program.
Stimulation (own or donor’s eggs)
It is carried out in order to obtain not one, as is most often the case in the natural cycle, but several eggs. During this stage, the patient is given drugs that stimulate the growth of follicles according to a special protocol. The presence of several eggs allows the embryologist to select the best of them for further fertilization. The duration of this stage is from 10 to 14 days.
In some cases, ovulation is not stimulated, and a woman’s only naturally mature egg is punctured during ovulation. The IVF program in the natural cycle is carried out in cases where a woman does not want to expose her body to the risks associated with hormonal stimulation; if hormonal stimulation is contraindicated for her; as well as in cases where hormonal stimulation, carried out in previous IVF attempts, did not give a sufficient number of eggs suitable for fertilization.
Genetic’s work
The cells collected for analysis are transferred to a molecular diagnostic laboratory where analysis is carried out for the occurrence of chromosomal abnormalities, using the NGS method. The process of diagnostics is fully automated, which is one of the guarantees of high accuracy of the result.
Surrogate mother selection
Surrogate mothers are selected according to strict criteria from among the carefully examined candidates. Due to the extensive base of candidates for surrogate mothers, we do not have a waiting list for starting this program.
Cryocycle (embryo transfer)
Under ultrasound control, the embryos are transferred into uterine cavity of a surrogate mother. Two weeks after, a blood test is performed at the clinic to determine the level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the blood and evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
