Becoming a mother is a feeling that every woman wants to have. Though it is said to be the happiest moment of life, many women are deprived of this as they suffer from infertility. Well, development in science and technology has helped many women have hope. One of the ways is surrogacy, which is one of the best ways to become a mother. There are different ways of surrogacy and the couple decides which of the ones they want to choose.
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother is also the genetic mother of the child. In this method the child is conceived either by natural methods or by fertility procedures of IUF or ICI. These are performed by specialist doctors in certified clinics. Then there is gestational surrogacy where the embryo is transferred to the uterus of the surrogate mother and she is not the genetic mother of the child. She is only responsible for carrying and delivering the baby.
Another type of surrogacy is commercial in which the mother is paid to carry and deliver the baby. There is one more type, altruistic surrogacy in which the mother willingly caries and delivers a child for another couple and hands over the child shortly after childbirth to the couple. Another very sought after solution for infertility is egg donation which is being opted for by many infertile people. In this process the fertilization and initial growth of the embryo is done usually in the laboratory.
In the process of having child through egg donation, it is very important that you get completely checked up by the doctor so that your uterus is healthy and ready to carry and give birth to a child. Usually, the woman is selected for egg donation by verifying everything which includes mental and physical health as well as the capacity of the woman to produce healthy eggs. It is the duty of the doctor to inform the donor and the recipient of all details of each other.
Infertility is one of the problems that many men and women have to face. However, today with the help of egg donation and surrogacy many couples are able to have the advantage of becoming parents. Though there are some short term side effects of egg donation process, women suffering from infertility go for it. The main reason is that they have hope of becoming mother to their own children even after suffering from childlessness.
