Combining Egg Donation with Surrogacy – A Step-by-Step Guide

Egg Donation & Surrogacy

For Indian intended parents living in the USA, egg donation with surrogacy is commonly the most desired means of conceiving a child, especially where natural conception is not feasible. The process of parenthood provides parents with a biological connection to the child, but with a healthy pregnancy through a gestational surrogate.

This book takes it step by step, legal matters, and best practices for Indian couples to follow in this process.

Choosing an Egg Donor

  • Select a healthy standard Indian egg donor from a health, physical, and genetic suitability point of view.
  • Firms such as Indian Egg Donors provide assured donor profiles, such as medical data and lifestyle.
  • Decide if you want a fresh or frozen egg cycle, which dictates timing and planning.

Choosing the right donor is crucial since egg quality directly affects embryo growth and pregnancy rates.

Selecting a Surrogate

  • Obtain the right surrogate through the assistance of an approved surrogacy agency or clinic.
  • Surrogates are screened medically, psychologically, and legally.
  • Assume cooperation regarding expectations, lifestyle, and communication.

Combining egg donation with surrogacy needs highly coordinated teamwork between the donor and surrogate for optimal timing and success.

Legal Agreements

  • Develop surrogacy and egg donation agreements, such as parental rights, responsibilities of the donor/surrogate, and compensation.
  • Legal certainty overrides future conflict and legitimates Indian parents as legal parents.
  • Indian Egg Donors arrange with fertility lawyers for documentation.

Pre-birth orders can also be had in some states, with legal status at birth being provided.

Medical Preparations

  • Preparation of the uterus by hormone therapy is done on the surrogate for embryo placement.
  • Ovarian stimulation by the egg donor using a fresh cycle is done.
  • Ultrasound monitoring and blood work are gearing up for embryo transfer.

Frozen egg cycles also facilitate timing, as embryos are already done and available.

Egg Retrieval and Fertilization

  • Donor eggs are collected in an outpatient facility.
  • Eggs are fertilized with the intended parents’ or a donor’s sperm to create embryos.
  • Embryos are grown and quality-controlled before transfer.

This involves advanced IVF lab methods to achieve maximum success.

Embryo Transfer

  • Chosen embryos are placed in the surrogate’s uterus.
  • Pregnancy is established with a blood test and ultrasound on days 10–14 after implantation.
  • Surrogate continues prenatal care for a healthy pregnancy.

Indian parents are typically able to follow up with agency counseling as they possess clear boundaries.

Post-Birth Considerations

  • Legal proceedings determine parental rights.
  • Intended parents are included on the child’s birth certificate to prevent complications.

Emotional and medical support for surrogate and intended parents is equally necessary.
