This procedure is less commonly performed in our program. Women who have had their uterus and ovaries removed would be candidates for true surrogacy. This procedure is technically easier to perform than gestational surrogacy. The surrogate mother is inseminated with sperm from the infertile woman's husband. Frozen sperm that has been quaranteened for six months is used for the insemination.
State laws differ with respect to the legal aspects of surrogacy.
Both the infertile couple and the surrogate should seek independent legal representation in this matter. A legal contract outlining the conditions of the surrogacy arrangement is required prior to starting any treatment.
