A complete surrogacy journey typically takes 12–20 months, depending on surrogate availability, medical screening timelines, IVF cycles, legal processing, and pregnancy duration.
Intended parents who already have embryos or who match quickly may finish sooner, while international programs may take slightly longer due to travel and documentation requirements.
Altruistic surrogacy refers to arrangements where the surrogate is not paid a base compensation for carrying the pregnancy. She may still receive reimbursements for medical care, travel, maternity clothing, and pregnancy-related expenses, but no financial incentive is provided.
This model is common in Canada, the U.K., India (for relatives only), and several other regions with laws restricting compensated surrogacy.
The egg donor process involves careful medical and psychological screening, legal contracts, ovarian stimulation, and egg retrieval.
Donors undergo a short treatment cycle (about 10–14 days of medication) before eggs are retrieved and fertilized to create embryos for the intended parents.
