• She must be a married woman.
• She must be between the age of 21 to 35 years.
• She must have at least 1 child of her own.
• It should not be for the purpose of business.
• The intended wife is between 23-50 years.
• The intended father should be between 26 to 60 years.

Self-Egg Surrogacy Success Rates

Look at the chart below and analyze the surrogacy success rates obtained by the Pride IVF in Guwahati:

SURROGACY VS. SUCCESS RATES

Donor eggs results in a 70% to 99% live birth rate per embryo transfer. With Self-Egg results in a 70% to 85% live birth rate per embryo transfer. If PGT-A is used then the success rates may increase up to 10% more. However, the birth rate gradually declines beyond the age of 35 and is lowest beyond 40 years in women.

Who should consider using Surrogacy with Self-Egg?

Most commonly, surrogacy is done using the intended parent’s own egg and own sperm. Those intending parents having the following issues should consider surrogacy with self-egg and self-sperm (husband):

• The wife had previously done sterilization.
• The wife does not have a uterus due to genetics or had been surgically removed.
• The wife has a defective uterus like septum, bicornuate, arcuate, or due to infections like tuberculosis.
• When the couples have had multiple IVF cycle failures.

Process of surrogacy with self-Egg

Surrogacy is defined as a practice whereby one woman bears and gives birth to a child for an intending couple and intends to hand over the child to them after the birth.

The Pride IVF in Guwahati follows certain provisions to proceed with surrogacy with self-egg according to the Indian govt. Approval. The following steps are followed:

1. Book an appointment: For any fertility or treatment-related, intended parents will book an appointment via email, or phone calls. After that, our coordinators will contact you and fix your consultation time with fertility experts.

2. Free consultation: At this session, fertility experts will examine your medical background, and any previous reports with you, or they will suggest for reproductive analysis test (if no reports). At this time you can ask any of your confusions or queries related to fertility. After a thorough examination, our experts guide you on whether self-egg surrogacy suits your conditions if yes then you will follow the next step.

3. Sign Contract agreement: All the involved parties- the Pride IVF experts, intended parents, and surrogate mother will sign the contract in the presence of the legal surrogacy lawyers (all the rules and regulations are described in the contract). Thereby the attorney will get approval from the court to proceed with altruistic surrogacy. The tentative date is decided.

4. Fertility medication: The intended mother is administered fertility pills so that she is able to synchronize with the surrogate’s menstrual cycles.

At the same time the surrogate is also prepared to develop the endometrium. Once the intended mother starts her period, hormones like FSH and LH are injected for multiple egg development. This step usually takes about 10-12 days. All the Dos and don’ts are discussed with coupes beforehand.

Note: The more eggs produced, the more chances of successful fertilization later on in the treatment. Ovulation (release of the egg from the ovary) is caused by an increase in LH about 2 weeks before menstruation starts.

5. Egg Retrieval: After the development of mature eggs, they are retrieved under anesthesia. This procedure is carried out by the chief embryologist by using a catheter instrument that sucks out each egg follicle. During this time, the male partner is also asked to provide his semen sample by traditional method or collected using surgical sperm aspiration methods like TESA/PESA/MESA, etc.

6. Fertilization: The fertilization process involves the entire IVF process- IVF Process step by step. Whereby the retrieved egg and the collected sperm are combined under the culture medium to get fertilized. After fertilization, it is called an embryo, the embryo takes 2 to 5 days for complete development which is term as the luteal phase.

7. Embryo transfer: At Pride IVF, we either select either cleavage (3rd-day embryo) or blastocyst embryo (5th-day embryo) for transferring into the surrogate uterus. Depending on the number of eggs retrieved, the number of grades A embryo formations, and previous treatment history (if any). The embryo is transferred into the surrogate uterus under ultrasound guidance. For more details please follow; IVF Implantation Process in India.
Note: The number of embryos to be transferred depends on the age of the intended mother and the previous treatment history

8. Confirmation of Pregnancy: After the embryo, the surrogate mother is given hormonal supplements like estrogen and progesterone. She will take rest for a week and the pregnancy test is done after 2 weeks. However, within that time she is monitored regularly to ensure that the instruction is followed accordingly.

Why you should consider Self-Egg Surrogacy?

When the female partner’s egg and male partner’s sperm are compatible with fertilization but the female is unable to conceive pregnancy due to certain reasons- medical or personal. The surrogate mother (gestational) is used to carry the pregnancy for them which is termed as Self Egg donor surrogacy.

Initially, most intending people choose to undergo a self Egg Donor surrogacy program with the surrogate mother because the surrogate and the child do not share any biological relationship.

Sometimes, intended parents bring their own donor eggs from among their families, or relatives to continue their bloodline when the female partner’s eggs are not viable in achieving fertilization with the partner’s sperm.

How do surrogate moms get pregnant?

A surrogate mother achieves pregnancy through In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Where male and female gametes are combined and gets fertilized in the laboratory which is then transferred into the surrogate uterus to achieve pregnancy. She carries the pregnancy until the birth.

Is Surrogate Mother’s DNA contained in the Baby?

There is no transfer of DNA from the surrogate mother to the Baby born. There should be no confusion or worries about the biological link from the surrogate to the baby. She simply acts like renting her womb out for the intended parent’s baby to grow until birth.

The woman who carries and delivers a baby through gestational surrogacy is referred to as a gestational carrier (or sometimes gestational surrogate).

Eligibilities for the Surrogate Mother

According to the surrogacy regulation Act (SRA), the surrogate mother should satisfy the following conditions:

• She is a close relative of the intending couple.
• She is married and has a child of her own.
• She is between the age of 25 to 35 years.
• She must be a surrogate only once in her lifetime.
• She must possess a certificate of medical and psychological fitness for surrogacy.

What is surgical sperm aspiration?

When a male has viable sperm for assisting the egg fertilization but cannot ejaculate during sex or during masturbation in such cases the sperm is collected surgically known as Surgical Sperm aspiration.

There are different types of surgical sperm aspiration and is carried out based on the male’s inability to ejaculate the semen sample, they include:

• Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA): TESA is performed for men who are having sperm retrieved for IVF/ICSI. A needle is inserted in the testicle and the tissue/sperm are aspirated. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Recovery is shorter and significantly less painful. It may cause some discomfort for days, but it is not a painful treatment. Sperm extraction through TESA has a high rate of success. The general figure stands at above 80%.
• TESE: TESE is best in men with both obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. These men have no sperm in their ejaculate because either there is a blockage in the route between the site of sperm production (the testes) and ejaculation or because there is a partial or complete failure in sperm production in the testes. It involves making a small incision in the testis and examining the tubules for the presence of sperm. TESE’s success rate is quite favorable for men. In fact, doctors are able to find sperm approximately 60% of the time during TESE procedures.
• Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA): It is done in men who have obstructive azoospermia from either a prior vasectomy or infection. The procedure involves inserting a fine needle into the epididymis, from which fluid is aspirated. This fluid is then inspected immediately by embryologists under a microscope for sperm content and motility. The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes. It causes minimal pain and discomfort.
• Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA): MESA is a procedure for men who have vasal or epididymal obstruction (s/p vasectomy, congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens). It involves using a surgical microscope to open the small tubes within the epididymis to look for sperm. After MESA, the ICSI method must be used to fertilize the egg.

What is PGT treatment?

PGT is a Preimplantation Genetic Testing procedure. It is performed on the couple’s created embryo via IVF and is tested prior to implantation to the uterus, only if they feel the risk of a genetic disorder or they have a history of a genetic problem.

PGT procedures ensure that the embryo selected for implantation has the correct number of chromosomes, this reduces the chances for IVF failure and reduces miscarriages. Most of all it gives a healthy normal child to the intending parents.

Note: If you and your partner have any concerns about collecting the sample, be free to discuss it with our specialist before starting your cycle.

The procedure of PGT Treatment:

The chief embryologist performed an assisted hatching on the embryo created via IVF. This helps the embryologist to obtain the cells for testing. As embryos reached the blastocyst stage, a few of the cells on the embryo is taken for biopsied and then they are sent for genetic analysis.

Who should undergo PGT procedures?

• Most probably women beyond 37 years should consider PGT treatment. They have a higher risk of abnormal embryo genetics.
• Couples are at risk of having a child affected by an inherited genetic disease.
• Having a history of recurrent miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormalities.

Do you know, what is IUI Treatment?

IUI or intrauterine insemination is a fertility treatment performed for male infertility (low sperm count, weak mobility, poor morphology). The collected male sperm are placed directly into a woman’s uterus by using an instrument called a catheter to assist in fertilization. IUI is performed during an ovulation cycle.

Aim of IUI treatment

The aim of IUI is to improve the chances of fertilization by increasing the number of healthy eggs that reach the fallopian tubes when the woman is most fertile.

Benefits of IUI treatments :

• Couples with Medical conditions like endometriosis, low sperm count, or low quality and quantity of gametes.
• Couples suffering from unexplained infertility.
• Same-sex female couples using donor sperm.
• Single women hoping to start a family with donor sperm.

The success rate of IUI treatment

IUI is the simplest mode of infertility treatment and every couple tries before any further treatment. But the success rate is not certain, it depends upon the age of the women, medical conditions, and response to fertility medications. Women under 35 can achieve up to 65% success rates while women above 40 have the least chance of up to 10-20% success rates. IUI treatment in combination with fertility medication can increase its success by up to 10% higher.
