Surrogacy: A Way to Fight Against Infertility

For couples, nothing can be more heartbreaking than being unable to give birth to a child. The prosperous development of Medical Science, however, has made it possible for those couples to enjoy the beatitude of parenthood. Apart from IUI, IVF and other options of ART, Surrogacy is one of the most popular measures with a high success rate to illumine the life of an infertile couple with a healthy stimulated child.

Mumbai bears a huge collection of some of the best fertility centers in India that also offer the arrangement of surrogacy. Surrogacy is sanctioned by a legal agreement between an infertile couple and a surrogate mother who is asked to give birth to their child. There are two types of Surrogacy treatment-

• Altruistic/Identified Surrogacy- This is the traditional way of Surrogation where the couple chooses themselves surrogate mother who is mostly a member of their kin. Here the surrogate mother's egg is fertilized with the intended father's sperm through artificial insemination in a medically subjugated environment and then embryos are inserted through a thin hollow tube into surrogate's womb by the surgeon.
• Gestational- In this process of Surrogation, the contract-bound surrogate mother is not biologically related to the begotten child. The embryos are created through IVF procedure by the fertilization of the intended parents' sperms and eggs, then the embryos are transferred into the gestational carrier of the surrogate mother. The child will be genetically identified with both the intended parents.

Choosing an ideal center for surrogation is a great matter of concern, one mistake can cost three lives at once. But there is nothing much to worry as surrogacy centers in Mumbai bear a world-class reputation on account of trustworthy infertility treatments helping over thousands of couples to complete their families.
