AREAS OF FERTILITY ASSISTANCE
Welcome to Surrogate Parenting Consultants'
service information page. Below is a description of the types of fertility
assistance we offer:
Gestational Surrogacy (GS)
The Surrogate Mother becomes pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF)
and embryo transfer (ET). The eggs used in this form of surrogacy belong to
the Intended Mother. The sperm is from the Intended Father or a sperm donor.
The Surrogate has no genetic relationship to the baby. This is currently the
most popular form of surrogacy.
Traditional Surrogacy (TS)
The Surrogate Mother becomes pregnant through artificial insemination
(AI) with her own eggs. The Intended Father's sperm or donor sperm is used.
In Traditional Surrogacy, the Surrogate Mother has a genetic link to the
baby. Although Traditional Surrogacy is still used, it is not as common as
it was even a few years ago.
Gestational Surrogacy with an Egg Donor
(GS/ED)
The Surrogate Mother becomes pregnant through IVF/ET using eggs from a
donor other than the Intended Mother. The sperm is from the Intended Father
or a sperm donor. The Surrogate Mother has no genetic link to the baby. This
form of surrogacy is becoming a common replacement for Traditional
Surrogacy.
Egg Donation (ED)
A woman donates her eggs to a couple when the Intended Mother can carry
a pregnancy but cannot produce the eggs to get pregnant.
