Two Most Common Forms of Surrogacy
A surrogate is a woman who is uses her
own uterus to carry an embryo for the purpose of giving birth to a baby
that will be given to and raised by another individual or couple. The
surrogate is acting as a vessel in which to house the developing baby.
There are two main types of surrogacy: traditional and gestational.
Traditional Surrogacy
With this method, the egg originates from
surrogate’s ovaries. Sperm from the biological father is injected into
her uterus using intrauterine insemination, or IUI, so that
fertilization can take place. Consequently, the surrogate is the
biological mother of the baby. This method is typically only used if the
intended mother (the future parent) does not have healthy eggs.
Gestational Surrogate
A gestational surrogate does not provide
her own eggs and therefore will not be considered to be the biological
mother. The embryo is removed from the ovary of the biological mother
and it is fertilized in a laboratory by using sperm from the biological
father. Fertilization generally takes roughly three to five days, and
then the fertilized embryo is placed inside the uterus of the surrogate
using a process referred to as in vitro fertilization.
While these two primary types are
distinctly different from each other, both involve a woman carrying a
child that will be raised by an individual or couple who cannot have a
fully biological child of their own. The two methods appear to be
equally safe. To learn more about a surrogacy agency in San Diego, visit this website.
