Different types of Surrogacy
There are two types of surrogates, gestational and traditional.
Gestational Surrogate
A Gestational surrogacy is when a Surrogate carries a child that is not related to her in any way. The embryo is usually created through the intended mother’s egg and intended father’s sperm using in vitro fertilization [IVF]. The embryo is then transferred to the surrogate who carries the parent’s baby through to birth. Sometimes the mother’s eggs or father’s sperm cannot be used. In this case, a donor’s egg or sperm is used.
Traditional Surrogate
Acts as both egg donor and surrogate. Traditional Surrogates are impregnated by a process called intrauterine insemination [IUI]. A doctor takes sperm from the intended father and transfers it into the uterus of the surrogate. Natural fertilization of the egg takes place.
