Many women struggle with fertility or the ability to safely carry a pregnancy to term.
To start, it’s not a quick experience.
There’s obviously the time it takes for the pregnancy itself, but it’s more than that.
Dr. Vaughn toldThe List, “The selection of a carrier often takes a few months.
From there, IVF is the next step.
“The eggs are then retrieved and fertilized with the partner’s sperm (or donor sperm).
Once the embryos are ready, the embryo can be transferred into the carrier.”
There’s a variety of reasons that a couple might choose surrogacy.
But medical necessity isn’t the only reason.
“Occasionally, a couple might choose to utilize a gestational carrier for personal reasons.”
It comes down to if there are any biological roadblocks.
