Hearing terms like surrogacy can be confusing. At Vita Altera IVF Center, we’ve prepared a comprehensive guide to help you understand this process better. So, what is surrogacy and how does it work?
Surrogacy involves transferring embryos, created by fertilizing the couple’s own egg and sperm cells in a laboratory, to another woman when the mother’s uterus is not suitable for pregnancy or is absent. The woman who carries the baby for another couple is called a “surrogate mother.” Surrogacy can be performed not only with the couple’s own egg and sperm but also with donor eggs and sperm if necessary. Therefore, all donation options are considered.
All these terms refer to the concept of surrogacy, but the correct terminology is “surrogacy.”
Many people wonder what surrogacy is. Initially, it may seem complicated, but as you gain more information, it becomes easier to understand. The most critical stage of surrogacy is the fertilization process. When other IVF treatments fail, surrogacy becomes the last resort.
Babies born through surrogacy carry the genetics of their biological mother and father. This means the baby will genetically resemble the biological parents, not the surrogate mother. There is no need to worry about this; the baby will be entirely yours.
The surrogacy process starts with IVF treatment. The egg stimulation program begins on the 2nd or 3rd day of the menstrual cycle and lasts approximately 10-12 days. After oocyte retrieval, the eggs are fertilized with sperm, creating embryos. These embryos are then transferred to the surrogate mother at the most suitable stage of their development.
A surrogate mother can be a family member or a professional surrogate. Professional surrogates can help manage the process more smoothly. However, if cost is a concern, choosing a family member with whom you have emotional ties can be a more affordable option.
Patients undergoing egg or sperm donation treatment can also benefit from surrogacy services when necessary.
The process of preparing a surrogate mother for pregnancy is detailed and comprehensive. Gynecological examinations, blood tests, and psychological evaluations are conducted. A treatment plan synchronized with the menstrual cycle is created to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. Once the optimal embryo transfer day is determined, the transfer is carried out.
Cyprus has a tolerant and liberal approach to surrogacy. Embryo transfer to a surrogate mother is legally possible for medical reasons. IVF centers in Cyprus help you manage this process smoothly and successfully.
The cost of the surrogacy process is similar to other IVF treatments. The starting price for couples is €5,000. At Vita Altera IVF Center, we help manage your surrogacy process smoothly and economically.
When selecting a surrogate mother, there are several crucial factors to consider. These factors help you find a healthy and reliable surrogate and contribute to the successful progression of the process.
The general health status of the surrogate mother is critical for a successful pregnancy. Comprehensive health screenings are necessary to check for infectious diseases, chronic conditions, and overall health status.
The psychological readiness of the surrogate mother is important for both her and the baby’s well-being. Psychological evaluations are conducted to determine how prepared the surrogate mother is for the emotional challenges she may face during this process.
The lifestyle of the surrogate mother also significantly affects the success of the process. A candidate who does not smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs and who maintains a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen should be preferred.
The surrogate mother’s previous pregnancy experiences should also be considered. Women who have had healthy deliveries in the past are more reliable candidates for surrogacy.

There are several important points to consider throughout this process. These points ensure the process progresses smoothly and successfully.
Before starting this process, an agreement should be made between the parties. This agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties. Important details such as the rights of the surrogate mother, the relationship with the biological parents, and financial matters should be included in the agreement.
Regular medical check-ups for the surrogate mother ensure the healthy progression of the pregnancy. These check-ups are essential for monitoring the health status of both the surrogate mother and the baby.
Providing psychological support to both the surrogate mother and the biological parents helps manage the emotional aspects of the process. Psychological support contributes to the healthy progression of the process for all parties involved.
