IVF Surrogacy in India

Surrogates

The categorization of surrogates could be done into two broad categories, such as:

1. The gametes of the intended parents are used to produce an embryo and then inserted into the uterus of the surrogate mother. If in case, any of the intended parents is suffering from infertility, they could use the donated sperms or eggs. As a result of the arrangement, the surrogate mother is in no way genetically related to the newborn baby.

2. The sperm of the intended father is inseminated with the eggs of the surrogate mother. This solution makes the new born child genetically related to the surrogate mother and intended father, not the intended mother. This type of surrogacy is only suggested in case the eggs of the intended mother are unable to fertilize.
