Surrogacy stages and timeline: how the program works

9 stages from the first consultation to going home with your baby. Matching a donor and a surrogate runs in parallel and takes 1⁠–⁠2 months, with no waiting list.

The whole journey takes about 12⁠–⁠15 months
1

Consultation

We get to know you, review your medical history and situation and tell you about the programs. The consultation is free.

2

Marital status certificate

In your country, you obtain an apostilled document confirming whether or not you are married. We will advise where and how to get it.

1⁠–⁠2 weeks
3

First visit

Tests (a full check-up if you don't have them yet), biomaterial collection and signing the contract at the clinic.

3⁠–⁠4 days
4

Donor matching

You choose an anonymous egg donor from our database by profile: appearance, health, education.

1⁠–⁠2 months

Creating and testing embryos

ICSI fertilization, culture to blastocyst and NGS genetic testing — only healthy embryos are selected for transfer.

Surrogate matching

Runs in parallel with the donor, with no waiting list. The candidate undergoes screening and preparation for the transfer.

Screenings in the first (weeks 1⁠–⁠13), second (weeks 14⁠–⁠27) and third (weeks 28⁠–⁠40) trimesters. You receive medical reports and ultrasounds.
