FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS GESTATIONAL SURROGACY?
HOW DOES SURROGACY WORK?
There are many parties involved in a surrogacy journey. That can be overwhelming. As an agency, our job is like an orchestra director, bringing together different players to create a harmonious journey.
Besides the Gestational Carrier and the Intended Parents, there is the fertility clinic that performs the medical cycle and many other professionals – attorneys that draw up contracts between all parties, psychologists that explore the motivations and mental state of everyone involved, and escrow companies that hold all the funds to be paid to the gestational carrier in a safe and secure account.
At the Surrogacy Center of Philadelphia, our decade-plus of experience helps you confidently navigate this process.
HOW MUCH DOES SURROGACY COST?
INTERNATIONAL SURROGACY. HOW DOES IT WORK?
WHAT DOES THE MEDICAL CYCLE INVOLVE?
A gestational carrier will carry embryos created through IVF. Prior to the embryo transfer, the gestational carrier will be on cycling medications. These medications are hormones that can control and suppress ovulation, as well as build up the uterine lining so the body is ready to receive the embryos. The hormones are taken in the form of injections.
The gestational carrier will have regular visits to the clinic to monitor her hormone levels and measure the thickness of her uterine lining. At the appropriate time, the doctor will transfer the embryos into the gestational carrier’s uterus via a tiny catheter. It is a short, painless procedure. The gestational carrier then goes home to rest for a day or two before resuming normal activities.
