The Medical Journey: How We Screen Our Surrogate Mothers

A successful surrogacy journey starts with health and safety. Our medical screening is a comprehensive, multi-step process designed to ensure the surrogate is physically and emotionally prepared to carry a healthy pregnancy.

Here’s what it involves:

1. Specialist Consultations
Every candidate is examined by a full medical team:

· Gynecologist: To assess reproductive health.
· General Practitioner: For overall health evaluation.
· Psychiatrist & Addictions Specialist: For official clearance.

2. Comprehensive Lab Testing

· Infectious Diseases: Full panel for HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B & C (tests are valid for 3 months).
· Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Screening for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Mycoplasma, etc., to eliminate risks to the embryo.
· TORCH Complex: Immunity screening for Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes. Vaccination is arranged if needed.
· General Health: Complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel, urinalysis, blood type, and Rh factor.
· Coagulogram: Checks blood clotting ability, crucial for a safe pregnancy.
· Pap Smear: Cervical cancer screening.

3. Diagnostics & Imaging

· Pelvic Ultrasound: A key exam to evaluate the uterus, endometrial lining, and ovaries.
· Electrocardiogram (ECG): Heart function check.
· Chest X-ray / Fluorography: To rule out pulmonary diseases.

4. Advanced Procedures (if indicated)

· Hormonal Profile: (AMH, FSH, LH, etc.) to assess ovarian reserve and balance.
· Hysteroscopy or Endometrial Biopsy: For a detailed view of the uterine cavity if required.

The Final Step: Approval is granted only by a formal Medical Commission at our licensed fertility clinic. Their green light is the essential foundation for moving forward.

This rigorous protocol is our commitment to safety, transparency, and the well-being of everyone involved in this extraordinary journey.

Understanding Ovarian Stimulation: A Simple Guide

If you’re on a fertility journey or just curious about reproductive health, let’s break down a key step in many treatments: Ovarian Stimulation.

In a nutshell:
It’s a process using fertility medications (hormones) to help your ovaries develop multiple mature eggs in one cycle, instead of the single egg that naturally grows each month. This is used in treatments like IVF or IUI, and sometimes to help regulate ovulation.

Step-by-step: How it works

1. Testing & Planning — It starts with blood tests and an ultrasound. Your fertility specialist designs a personalized plan for you.
2. Starting Medications — Usually on day 2–3 of your cycle, you’ll begin hormone injections or pills (FSH and/or LH medications).
3. Close Monitoring (Crucial!) — You’ll visit the clinic every few days for ultrasounds and blood work. Your doctor tracks follicle growth and adjusts doses as needed.
4. The Trigger Shot — Once follicles reach the ideal size, you’ll receive a final injection to mature the eggs and prepare them for ovulation or retrieval (in IVF).

⏰ How long does it take?
Typically, the stimulation phase lasts 10–14 days, sometimes slightly more or less depending on your protocol.

⚠️ Important reminder:
Ovarian stimulation is a carefully supervised medical process. Never adjust medication doses on your own—this can lead to risks like OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome).

NGS vs PGD: Let’s Not Get Confused! 🧬

NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing):
➡️ What? A complete check of all 23 pairs of chromosomes in the embryo.
➡️ Why? To see if there is an extra or missing chromosome (like in Down syndrome).
➡️ Result: Increased chances of implantation, reduced risk of miscarriage and having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality.

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis):
➡️ What? A targeted search for a SPECIFIC genetic mutation that exists in your family (e.g., cystic fibrosis).
➡️ Why? To prevent the birth of a child with this severe hereditary disease.
➡️ Result: The birth of a healthy child, even if you are carriers of a serious genetic condition.

A simpler analogy:
🧬 NGS — We check if all the volumes in a complete encyclopedia set are present and in order.
🔎 PGD — We look for a typo in a specific word on a known page.

NGS is most commonly used in IVF. PGD is used for specific indications. These methods are powerful tools of modern reproductive medicine!

❤️How Does Ultrasound Monitoring Work for Surrogate Mothers: Stages, Safety, and Emotions❤️

Many intended parents and prospective surrogate mothers wonder how pregnancy is monitored in a surrogacy program. One of the key and most emotional moments is the ultrasound examination. Here’s how it typically works.

🩺 Scheduled and Safe
Examinations are carried out strictly according to a schedule approved by the clinic’s reproductive specialist. These are standard screenings that any pregnant woman in Russia undergoes. The procedure is completely safe for both the surrogate mother and the baby.

📅 Key Stages:

1. First Ultrasound (5–6 weeks). Confirmation of pregnancy, location of the gestational sac (ruling out ectopic pregnancy), and detection of the embryo’s heartbeat. This is the first, most emotional “hello” for the intended parents.
2. First Trimester Screening (11–13 weeks). Assessment of fetal development, measurement of nuchal translucency (a marker for possible chromosomal abnormalities). Often, this is when intended parents see the outline of their baby for the first time.
3. Second Trimester Screening (18–21 weeks). Detailed fetal anatomy scan: examination of all organs and systems, determination of the baby’s s*x (if the family wishes). One of the longest and most informative viewings.
4. Third Trimester Ultrasound (30–34 weeks). Evaluation of fetal growth and position, placenta condition, and amniotic fluid levels. Preparation for childbirth.

💙 Who Is Present?
Typically, a representative from the agency accompanies the surrogate mother to the ultrasound for support and to handle any logistical matters. Intended parents almost can join online via video call! This is a crucial moment for them to connect with their baby. In-person attendance is also possible by prior arrangement.

🤝 Support and Trust
Each ultrasound is more than just a medical procedure. It is a step toward fulfilling a family’s dream and a moment of deep connection between everyone involved. The goal of professional support is to ensure transparency, comfort, and confidence for all parties.

💕Key Medical Indications for Surrogacy:

1. Anatomical Absence of the Uterus — the most common reason. This may be due to:
· Congenital pathology (e.g., Rokitansky syndrome).
· Acquired condition following a life-saving hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus).
2. Medical Contraindications to Pregnancy — when carrying a pregnancy poses a serious risk to a woman’s health or life. This includes:
· Severe somatic diseases (heart defects, renal failure, etc.).
· Conditions associated with a high risk of miscarriage or complications.
3. Failed Infertility Treatment — multiple unsuccessful IVF attempts using the woman’s own good-quality embryos when the cause of failure remains unexplained.

Thus, surrogacy provides an opportunity to have a genetically related child for women who are medically unable to carry a pregnancy themselves.

15/01/2026

❤️Surrogacy is an IVF program in which embryos created from the eggs and s***m of the intended parents (or donors) are transferred into the uterus of another woman — the surrogate mother. She carries and gives birth to the baby without being genetically related to the child.

This is the most complex type of assisted reproductive technology, as it involves the participation of a third person — the surrogate mother. Thanks to modern medical advances, this program enables women and couples, for whom pregnancy and childbirth were previously impossible, to become parents.

WHAT IS A SEMEN ANALYSIS ?

Semen Analysis is a quantitative and qualitative analysis of semen that allows for the assessment of male reproductive function. When examining infertile couples, the man is examined first.

INDICATIONS FOR A SEMEN ANALYSIS

A semen analysis is performed in the following cases:

· Inability of a couple to conceive a child after 12 months of regular s*xual in*******se without the use of contraception.
· Preparation for the procedure of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
· The family planning stage.
· Comprehensive diagnosis of prostate inflammation and varicocele.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR PROVIDING A SEMEN SAMPLE FOR ANALYSIS?

· For 7 days prior to the study, eliminate fatty and fried foods, as well as strong tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, and alcohol from your daily diet.
· You should abstain from s*xual activity for three days before providing the sample.
· For a week before the semen analysis, you should not visit the sauna, bathhouse, or overheat.

💉 S***m Preparation for IVF

In assisted reproductive technologies (ART), s***m must always be processed. Why?

S***matozoa themselves make up only a few percent of the ej*****te. Besides them, it contains other cells and seminal plasma. Under normal conditions, all these components are necessary for activating s***m after ej*******on, protecting them from vaginal acids and microorganisms, and prolonging their life in the female reproductive tract.

However, when preparing for ART procedures, these components are not needed and can even be harmful, as they can intensify oxidative reactions and interfere with the selection of good s***matozoa.

Therefore, the processing of the ej*****te, during which s***matozoa are purified from the other components of semen and transferred into a special medium, is a mandatory step in an IVF program.

The first stage of s***m processing: density gradient centrifugation. This process of purifying s***matozoa from the rest of the ej*****te is performed through centrifugation. An embryologist takes the ej*****te and carefully layers it onto a suspension of microscopic silicone particles. During centrifugation, primarily motile s***matozoa with normal morphology pass through this gradient.

The second stage: s***m «swim-up». This so-called swim-up test allows for the assessment of s***m fertility, i.e., the s***matozoon’s ability to fertilize an egg. The most active, already «purified» s***matozoa swim up into the well containing the nutrient medium, and the embryologist selects them for the fertilization process.

These two stages are the most fundamental and are routinely used by embryologists in ART programs.

The embryological stage is one of the most critical stages in an ART program. The effectiveness of the IVF cycle largely depends on how the preparation of the male biological material, the assessment of its quality, the fertilization of the egg, and the subsequent cultivation of embryos to maturity are performed.

It’s possible IVF without stimulation?

Yes, it's possible! IVF without stimulation, using a naturally matured egg, is called "Natural Cycle IVF."

Unlike a standard IVF program, it does not require medications to stimulate ovarian function (superovulation). This protocol is most often used when a patient has medical contraindications to taking gonadotropins. The egg matures solely under the influence of the hormones naturally produced by the woman's body.

It's important to remember that each method has its drawbacks. In Natural Cycle IVF, monitoring the cell's maturation is more challenging, and there is a risk of premature ovulation. Also, the single retrieved egg may be unsuitable for fertilization or may fail to fertilize. When comparing the effectiveness of stimulated IVF versus non-stimulated, the success rate per follicle puncture is lower in a natural cycle program, as it does not always result in a transferable embryo.

The effectiveness of Natural Cycle IVF is approximately 10%.

However, egg banking is possible: in this case, each egg obtained in a natural cycle is frozen. When several cells have been accumulated, they are thawed and fertilized. The embryologist then selects the most promising embryo for transfer. The remaining embryos can be frozen and used in a cryotransfer program.

Our specialists select the most effective fertility treatment program for each individual case. And for many couples, that program has been Natural Cycle IVF.
