Traditional Surrogacy
A traditional surrogate is one who donates her oocytes and carries the pregnancy using sperm from the intended natural father (husband) or a donor.

The surrogate's ovaries are stimulated hormonally to produce follicles containing the eggs. An ultrasound scan is performed to determine the number and size of the follicles and also the thickness of the endometrium, lining the uterus, to see whether it is ready for implantation. Also, blood hormone levels will be measured. Ovulation will be induced by an injection of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), and the egg will be released 36-48hr later. The semen from the intended natural father is processed to select the highest quality sperm. The physician will then inject this sperm via a catheter through the vagina and cervix, into the uterus. If conception occur, the surrogate will carry the pregnancy to term. |
