Single-Parent Surrogacy
In contrast to heterosexual couples who utilize their own egg and sperm to produce an embryo through surrogacy, single-parent surrogacy requires the use of donated sperm or eggs to complete the in vitro process.
For instance, in the case of a single woman contemplating surrogacy, securing a donated sperm to fertilize her egg prior to its transfer to the uterus of the surrogate will be necessary.
Gestational Surrogacy
Gestational surrogacy is a form of treatment for women with certain medical conditions, typically an absent uterus, that allows them to have their own genetic children.
The commissioning couple’s gametes are used to create embryos, which are then transferred to the uterus of a surrogate host.
Treatment outcomes are positive, with high clinical pregnancy and live birth rates.
