01. How are the ED / Surrogates recruited?
The IVF Clinic has a wide variety of egg donors ready to donate at any given time.

02. Will the Intended Parents be able to select an Egg Donor before hand?
Yes the clinic will make the profiles of the Egg Donors available to the IP’s. But please note that as this is an anonymous egg donation program. Thus neither egg sharers nor the egg donors will be allowed to meet with the intended parents.

03. How does Surrogacy Abroad ensure the integrity of this medical procedure?
One of our staff members will be present in the clinic at the time of the Ovum (egg) pick-up of the donor. Later on Surrogacy Abroad can also assist you to confirm this via a DNA test (optional).

04. When are the contracts signed and under which laws?
All the Contracts would be drafted by the Solicitors and sent across to you and they will be subject to Indian jurisdiction.

05. How many Embryos are implanted by the clinic?
India has some of the friendliest ART laws. In-fact the lack of ART allows clinics to implant a minimum of 4 embryos with the intent to maximize our chances of pregnancy.

06. What is a typical profile of women wanting to become a surrogate mother in India?
She would have her own child or children and be between 25-35 years of age. The surrogate would have to clear some basic pathological and certain baseline medical investigations. Plus Surrogacy Abroad would also conduct a Psychological assessment of the Surrogate.

07. How long is the whole protocol from down regulation to embryo implantation?
You must remain in India for 15 days.  The donor must also remain in India for 15 days so that her cycle and stimulation may be closely monitored by the clinic staff. After successful egg retrieval and fertilization the implantation will take place 3 days later.

08. What if we use our own eggs? Will that mean I will have to stay longer in Hyderabad than the usual 3 weeks it takes for the whole process of surrogacy?
Both parents will be required to stay for a maximum of three weeks.

09. If we were to use our own frozen embryo, it should take less than 6 weeks to complete the whole surrogacy process, is that right? Can you give us an idea exactly how long will the process take?
In case of a Frozen Embryo Transfer, either of the parents would need to be in Hyderabad for a maximum of five days. The clinic will begin the preparation of the surrogate here from day 1 of her menses and begin her Luteal support once the embryos have reached our clinic. The Embryo Transfer is done on the fourth day after the clinic begins the luteal support. The surrogate will then continue all her medication for fifteen days at the end of which a pregnancy test will be done. Parents can however, leave on the day of the Embryo Transfer and Surrogacy Abroad would then co-ordinate all the rest of the communication as well as send all updates to the parents by email and phone.

10. In which Hospital would the delivery take place?
Their delivery will take place in a private hospital in Hyderabad.

11. How often can we keep contact with the surrogate during her pregnancy?
The Clinic in conjunction with Surrogacy Abroad would make arrangements for this.
12. What about single women? Whether Lesbian, unmarried, divorced?
Well fortunately the ICMR guidelines allows the use of ART by single Women or single Men for that matter.

13. I am a Caucasian and don’t seek a donor. All I want is my eggs implanted in your surrogate. How long will I need to be in India?
You will need to be in India for two weeks starting from day 1-2 of your menses so that the Clinic can start your stimulation. However, you can also begin your injections in your hometown and reach the clinic by day 7-8 so that your stay in Hyderabad is for a week to ten days only.

14. We don’t seek a surrogate or donor. All I want is IVF done on myself.
We will just need you to undergo the screening tests prior to starting the cycle. You will need to send us a copy of all the reports. The clinic will then begin the cycle at the earliest. Your maximum stay in Hyderabad will be for two weeks. Once Surrogacy Abroad co-ordinates your case we will consult with the clinic and guide you accordingly so that you can plan your trip.
