What is Surrogacy
What is Surrogacy?
In gestational surrogacy, an embryo created through IVF � using the intended parents' or donor eggs or donor sperm � is carried by another woman, the gestational surrogate. She carries and delivers the baby but has no genetic relationship to the child.
Surrogacy is considered when a woman cannot carry a pregnancy herself — for example after hysterectomy, with a severe uterine problem, or where pregnancy would be medically dangerous. In India it is governed by the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, and we support intended parents through the entire medical and legal process.

Success & Safety
Real chances, honestly explained
Every fertility journey is unique. Surrogacy success rates depend on several medical and lifestyle factors.
Factors affecting success
- Embryo quality from the intended parents or donors
- The intended mother's (or egg donor's) age
- The surrogate's uterine health
- Sperm quality
- Laboratory and clinical expertise
At Bavishi Fertility Institute, we focus on personalised treatment plans rather than one-size-fits-all success claims.
Surrogacy success depends mainly on embryo quality and the surrogate's uterine health. As with all fertility treatment, an outcome cannot be guaranteed.

FAQ
Surrogacy — your questions answered
An embryo created by IVF from the intended parents' or donor eggs or donor sperm is carried by a surrogate, who has no genetic link to the baby she delivers.
Mainly when a woman cannot safely carry a pregnancy — for example absence of the uterus, a severely damaged uterus, or a medical condition that makes pregnancy dangerous.
Yes, under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, which permits altruistic surrogacy with specific eligibility and legal requirements. We follow these fully.
If the intended parents' own eggs and sperm are used, yes. Donor eggs or sperm are used only where medically needed. The surrogate is never genetically related to the baby.
A surrogate must meet the medical and legal criteria defined under the Act and passes thorough medical and psychological screening before proceeding.
