Surrogacy law in the United States is complex and varies significantly by state. Some states embrace surrogacy with clear statutes and protections, while others impose restrictions or prohibit certain arrangements. For intended parents, navigating these differences is essential to avoid delays, unexpected costs, or even legal disputes.
At Surrogacy4All, we combine physician-led medical care with trusted surrogacy attorneys to ensure a safe, transparent, and ethical journey for both parents and surrogates.
The lab is where fertilization occurs, embryos are cultured, and decisions about embryo transfer are made. Embryologists use advanced incubators, microscopes, and monitoring systems to ensure optimal embryo growth. They also perform techniques like ICSI (injecting sperm into an egg) and assisted hatching.
Research shows that blastocyst transfer often improves outcomes, but not all patients reach this stage. Lab quality plays a large role in whether embryos survive to Day 5.
Embryos are graded based on cell number, symmetry, and fragmentation on Day 3, and inner cell mass/trophectoderm quality on Day 5. Grades are predictive, but not guarantees. Many ‘average’ embryos still lead to healthy babies.
Embryologists handle the most delicate materials in medicine: gametes and embryos. Their skill in ICSI, biopsy for genetic testing, and cryopreservation is critical to success. Patients often never meet their embryologist, but their work is central to creating life.
Lab conditions (air quality, pH, temperature, light exposure) all influence embryo health. Even small lapses in quality control can affect implantation and pregnancy outcomes. Clinics with rigorous lab standards consistently achieve higher success rates.
Lab procedures add to IVF costs:
Maria and David had undergone two IVF cycles at a large clinic with poor success. They had embryos reach Day 3 but none progressed to Day 5. Their doctor suggested they might need donor eggs.
Seeking a second opinion, they came to Surrogacy4All. Our physicians recommended a clinic with state-of-the-art lab technology. In their very next cycle, 8 eggs were retrieved, 6 fertilized, and 3 developed into healthy blastocysts by Day 5. One embryo was transferred, and Maria became pregnant.
Maria recalls: ‘We didn’t realize how much lab quality mattered. Switching labs changed everything for us.’
‘Our embryologist explained every detail of our embryos. That transparency gave us so much peace of mind.’
Intended Parents
‘We thought all clinics had the same labs, but Surrogacy4All showed us how to choose wisely.’
