Surrogacy gives people a chance to become parents when carrying a pregnancy themselves isn’t possible or would be risky for health reasons. But does being carried by another woman change anything about a child’s genes, health, or development? To answer this, it’s important to look at what a surrogate mother does during pregnancy, what shapes…
When a couple ends up with several embryos after IVF, that is good news. But before transfer, a new question comes up: should one embryo be transferred, or two at once, to improve the chances of pregnancy? At first glance, transferring two embryos may look like a way to raise the odds of success. In…
If you are planning IVF in another country, it helps to think ahead about each step. Consider when to start preparing, which tests to do before you travel, how long you will need to stay at the clinic, and if you might need to return for a second visit. At Silk Medical, you can start…
When a first IVF attempt doesn’t end in pregnancy, many patients start to question their odds. The doubts pile up fast: is another cycle worth it, does it make sense to keep going, and does one disappointment mean IVF simply isn’t meant for you? In truth, a first cycle that doesn’t lead to pregnancy is…
When the eggs are retrieved, the IVF process enters one of its make-or-break phases. For the next several days the embryos grow inside the embryology lab, and the team watches them closely the whole way through. For patients, these days tend to drag. When will the first news arrive? What goes on in the gap…
Most explanations of surrogacy focus on two points. The embryo transfer, and the delivery. What happens in between is usually reduced to a vague “pregnancy monitoring” phase, even though this period takes up most of the timeline and carries its own structure, logistics, and decisions. The stretch between week 12 and week 28 is treated…
Surrogacy programs rarely move in a perfectly straight line. Even when the medical part is well planned, timelines can stretch for reasons that have little to do with treatment itself. Documents may take longer to prepare than expected. Embryo paperwork can raise questions late in the process. A surrogate match that looks ideal on paper…
Thin endometrium is one of the most common reasons IVF stalls without a clear explanation. Patients are often told things look “a bit thin” or that the lining “might still catch up,” and cycles move forward anyway. Transfers fail. Embryos get blamed. Another protocol follows. Months turn into years. The problem is not rare, but…
People often expect a quick answer to how long surrogacy takes. The truth is simple enough once the process is broken into stages. IVF creation, embryo testing, surrogate matching, pregnancy care, and post-birth paperwork each have their own rhythm. When combined, the timeline becomes predictable, especially in a clinic like SILK Medical, which handles hundreds…
Embryo transfers do not always result in pregnancy, even under the most carefully controlled medical conditions. According to the American Pregnancy Association, multiple factors affect the success of embryo transfer, and careful medical follow-up helps guide next steps if a transfer fails. A failed surrogate transfer doesn’t mean the program is broken or starting over….
