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…
For some prospective parents, pregnancy is not possible or could be dangerous for their health. In these cases, gestational surrogacy is an option. This program involves creating an embryo through IVF and transferring it to a surrogate mother, who carries the child to term. Surrogacy can help people become parents when carrying a child themselves…
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…
For some intended parents, surrogacy planning begins at a stage when only one viable embryo is available for transfer. This often happens after earlier IVF cycles produced limited results or when treatment was started later in reproductive life. In clinical practice at SILK Medical, such cases are common and require careful timing and realistic expectations….
Many of SILK Medical intended parents focus on embryo quality, surrogate matching, and legal paperwork. For them, delivery often feels like a distant detail. In reality though, the method of birth plays an important role in how a surrogacy program is structured. Cesarean delivery is common in surrogate pregnancies. Sometimes it is medically required. In…
For many parents who have already completed IVF or a surrogacy program, thoughts about a second child tend to surface gradually. This usually happens well after life has settled into a new rhythm. Sometimes it coincides with a milestone in the first child’s life. In other cases, it starts with a practical reminder, such as…
Most clinics don’t like talking about failure. It’s not great for marketing. But for patients, understanding what can go wrong in a surrogacy program is just as important as knowing what can go right. And yes, even under ideal conditions, surrogacy can fail. Transfers don’t always lead to pregnancy. Embryos that look perfect on day…
People often assume that once a surrogate enters the picture, the chances of pregnancy rise automatically. The idea sounds intuitive: if a woman has struggled to carry a pregnancy herself, then a healthy surrogate should “fix” the situation. Doctors at SILK Medical see the opposite every day. Surrogacy is not a workaround for embryo biology….
Some couples reach a point where IVF alone cannot solve the medical issues they face, and the safest way to achieve a pregnancy is through a surrogate. Clinics that handle both IVF and surrogacy under one system, such as SILK Medical in Georgia and Armenia, see this scenario every week. In these cases, combining the…
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….
