What is surrogacy? Do I have to use my own eggs?

Surrogacy is when a woman (the surrogate) helps intended parents have a baby they cannot conceive on their own. In most cases, gestational surrogates do not use their own eggs. Instead, an embryo created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) is transferred into the surrogate’s uterus, meaning she has no genetic connection to the baby.

Is surrogacy safe for me?

Surrogacy is medically similar to a normal pregnancy and is carefully monitored by top healthcare professionals. You will undergo comprehensive medical screenings to ensure you are in excellent health before starting, and you’ll receive the best prenatal care throughout the process. Additionally, emotional and psychological support will be available to ensure your well-being.

How much compensation do surrogates receive?

Compensation varies based on location, experience, and personal circumstances. On average, first-time surrogates earn between $40,000-$80,000, with additional benefits covering medical expenses, living allowances, and nutrition support. Want to estimate your potential earnings?
