Surrogacy Process

1. Surrogate Matching (6–10 weeks)

   Finding a surrogate who is a good match for you is the first step in the surrogacy process. At Newlife Conceptual Limited, we assist in identifying and matching you with a surrogate who meets your criteria.

2. Screening (1–2 weeks)

   Once matched, a series of screenings is conducted, including psychological evaluations, medical assessments, and infectious disease screenings, to ensure all parties are prepared for the process.

3. Legal Process (2–3 weeks)

   A comprehensive surrogacy contract is drafted by our experienced lawyers, covering all legal rights and responsibilities of both intended parents and the surrogate.

4. Creating the Embryos (4–6 weeks)
   • Stimulation Phase: Involves daily hormonal injections to produce multiple eggs. This phase lasts approximately 2–2.5 weeks (12–16 days).
   • Egg Retrieval and Embryo Culture: Eggs are retrieved, fertilized, and cultured into blastocysts, which are frozen on day 5 for later transfer.
5. Embryo Transfer (8 weeks)

   Preparation for embryo transfer involves hormonal medications, blood tests, and vaginal ultrasounds to prepare the surrogate’s endometrium. Once the embryo is transferred, the surrogate moves into our dedicated accommodation for monitoring and care.

6. Pregnancy and Birth (36–38 weeks)

   The surrogate receives continuous emotional support and medical guidance throughout the pregnancy. Intended parents are encouraged to stay involved and be present at delivery.

7. Delivery (36–38 weeks)

   Under normal circumstances, delivery occurs between 36 and 38 weeks of pregnancy.

Estimated Timeline

• Pre-Surrogacy Planning: Approximately 16–28 weeks (4–7 months) depending on your readiness and preferences.
• Surrogacy Process: Approximately 44–78 weeks (11–18 months), including surrogate matching, medical preparations, pregnancy, and delivery.
