Medical reasons
When your body can't carry a pregnancy, your family is still possible.
Many of the parents we work with came to surrogacy after years of treatment, loss or illness. Others knew from the start. Whatever brought you here, you will be met with patience, and we will never rush you.
Common reasons
Why intended mothers turn to surrogacy.
Your reproductive endocrinologist is the right person to advise whether surrogacy is recommended for you. These are the situations we see most often.
No uterus
Because of a congenital condition such as MRKH syndrome, or after a hysterectomy for cancer, bleeding or other reasons.
A uterus that can't sustain pregnancy
Significant scarring, malformation, or conditions such as severe adenomyosis or fibroids that cannot be treated.
Pregnancy would be unsafe
Serious heart, kidney or autoimmune disease, a history of life-threatening complications, or treatment that cannot be paused for a pregnancy.
Repeated IVF failure or loss
When good-quality embryos repeatedly fail to implant, or pregnancies are repeatedly lost, and a physician recommends a gestational carrier.
Cancer survivors
Many people preserve eggs or embryos before treatment. Surrogacy can allow you to use them when carrying yourself is not advised.
Your own eggs, or a donor's
Many intended mothers use their own eggs. Others use donor eggs. Either way, your surrogate has no genetic connection to your child.
