The doctor s staff will discuss the doctor s fees and financing programs that may be available. We recommend couples undergo a semen analysis, HIV test and Hepatitis C testing if they have not completed this testing prior to the consultation. A positive test for HIV or Hepatitis C will preclude a couple from participating in our program. Some couples elect to combine meeting their surrogate mother and beginning the insemination or transfer in one trip. If you elect to combine the two purposes, you will talk to your potential surrogate mother on the phone several times prior to your trip.
Some couples prefer to make two separate trips.
It is your decision as to which option is most comfortable for you. We realize that the journey to create your family with the help of Third Party Reproduction involves a considerable financial and emotional investment on your part. Our goal is to provide you with professional care and guidance to afford you the greatest opportunity to achieve a pregnancy and to ensure that your journey with our program is as calm and relaxed as possible. The third trip usually occurs when your surrogate mother is approximately six months pregnant. During this trip you will visit your surrogate mother and spend some time with her and her family.
