Why are Health Screenings Provided and What are the Medical Aspects of Surrogacy?

At the beginning of your surrogacy journey, you will have to go through health screenings, whether as a gestational carrier or intended parent. We provide health screenings because it keeps everyone involved safe. For surrogate mothers, you will go through physical and mental health screenings. This will help make sure you are fully prepared for your surrogacy journey. The health screenings are looking for sexually transmitted diseases and infections that could affect the pregnancy. In addition to the testing, you will also go through fertility treatments to prepare you for the transfer process. Our agency provides these screenings to ensure your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. 

What is The Surrogacy Process?

A major part of the Colorado surrogacy process is embryo transfer. Our agency provides gestational surrogacy, which means the surrogate mother carries the fertilized egg of the intended mother. This ensures that the surrogate mother is in no way genetically linked to the child. Gestational surrogacy is done through in-vitro fertilization or IVF. This is when the intended mother’s egg is fertilized by the sperm of the intended father in the lab. The surrogate mother then carries the egg to term. If the intended parents cannot provide an egg or sperm for the IVF process, we can help them find a donor. Gestational surrogacy is one of the safer options for the surrogate mother, which is why we provide it. With our team of licensed professionals, you can rest assured that your safety is our top priority.

What are the Requirements to Become a Surrogate Mother?
