Can my sister or a relative be a surrogate mother?
Some women provide surrogacy professionally in return for an agreement. If this is not preferred, then family members (sister and other relatives) or close friends can be used.
This is a common choice when locating the ideal surrogate mother. Naturally, finding someone who you can trust and keep constant progress with is more reliable than working with a professional.
However, this is purely an emotional decision.
If you are looking for low-cost surrogacy, though, then it might make sense to work with a family member who may choose to help you out on emotional grounds rather than looking at the potential financial rewards involved with surrogacy.
Under what circumstances and why is surrogate used?
There are many reasons when surrogacy will be considered. Some of the most common options include:
- Women who do not have a uterus by birth.
- Women who have their uterus removed as a requirement of a surgery (tumors, myomas, cancer etc.).
- To prevent repeated miscarriages.
- Women with Asherman’s syndrome (with a uterus but not suitable for pregnancy).
- In cases where pregnancy and birth pose a risk (women who have serious problems related to the heart and lungs, women with clotting disorders which can pose fatal risks).
- Women with natal anomalies.
- Homosexual partners.
- Women who prefer not to give birth due to social reasons.
Can donation patients also use a surrogate mother?
This is a commonly asked question when it comes to finding the right option.
Surrogacy, though, is not determined on previous treatments. As such, you will be pleased to know that both egg donation and sperm donation patients can also use a surrogacy service if needed or desired.
Who can be a surrogate mother?
A surrogate mother can come from many backgrounds, and deciding upon that background is very important. While anyone may choose to take part in a surrogate pregnancy, the most common surrogate profiles include:
- Young and healthy women.
- Women who do not have any contagious diseases.
- Women who don’t smoke, consume alcohol or have any drug additions.
- Women who have previous pregnancies resulting in healthy births.
- Women who do not have pregnancy-related diabetes or pre-eclampsia in their previous pregnancies.
- Women who are suitable for surrogacy socially and psychologically.
- Women who don’t have chronic diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure etc.).
- Women who are not anorexic or obese (BMI index, i.e. body mass index being in a healthy range).
How is a surrogate mother prepared?
The preparation for a surrogate pregnancy is quite a specific and extensive process.
However, it’s nowhere near as tricky as it may first appear.
Specialists conduct a gynecological examination, relevant blood tests and also check the psychological condition of the surrogate mother candidate to assess her suitability for pregnancy.
Surrogate mother’s treatment is planned with her cycle preparing her uterus for pregnancy. In this treatment process, ultrasound scans are carried out at regular intervals, and embryo transfer takes place once the uterus is ready.
If there are any frozen embryos, then these embryos are transferred. If there are no frozen embryos, then the IVF treatment of the couple is synchronized with the inter uterus preparation of the surrogate mother and embryos which are fertilized in a laboratory setting are transferred fresh to the surrogate mother on the appropriate day.
How to find a surrogate
One of the best ways to help find a surrogate for your needs is to work with an IVF treatment facility. Choosing the right professionals will always make it easier, and an IVF clinic can help point you in the right direction.
Usually, they have access to both the means and the methods to make the whole process easier to follow along with. If you want to find a surrogate mother you can trust, then IVF clinics will only offer you access to professionals who play by the rules.
For example, a common surrogacy misconception is that the surrogate can renege on the deal and keep the child for themselves.
Put bluntly; this is not the case at all.
When you enter into a surrogacy agreement, then you will be putting in place an ethical agreement between all parties to make sure the result is agreed upon: the safe, healthy delivery of a child that could not be conceived by the natural parents in normal circumstances.
Surrogacy in Cyprus
Unlike other nations, surrogacy in Cyprus is much more lenient and liberal with how it is laid out. For example, Cyprus regulation allows embryo transfer to a surrogate – as such, clinics can carry out embryo transfer from the intended parents to the surrogate mother without any legal challenges.
With the right IVF treatment facility in Cyprus, though, you can make sure that there is a definitive agreement put in place. This will make sure that all parties are happy with the terms, the treatment options and the costs associated.
There are many reasons why choosing surrogacy in Cyprus – as well as other forms of treatment such as embryo transfer and egg donation – is so popular. These include:
- For one, Cyprus is one of the most affordable places to carry out IVF treatments – including surrogacy. It helps to make sure you can keep the costs down while working towards making your dreams come true.
- Cyprus is a nation with extremely high living standards and affordable living costs. This means taking the trip here to undergo your treatment is worthwhile. It allows you to enjoy the experience more, reducing stress levels.
- Like many island nations, Cyprus is home to fantastic weather all year round. Even arriving in the winter, you can enjoy a wholly suitable experience just due to the climate that makes it much easier to relax and enjoy the process.
- Cypriot surrogacy success rates are very high, as are all IVF success rates in Cyprus. The quality of treatment mixed with the ease of legislation means you can enjoy a tremendous quality of therapy without any worries.
