• After medical clearance and contracts, the IVF clinic issues your cycle calendar.
• Your period helps set the timing for when fertility medications begin.
• You will complete local monitoring through bloodwork and transvaginal ultrasounds.
• Medications may include oral pills, hormone patches, vaginal suppositories, and fertility injections.
• You must be comfortable with self-injections and needles as part of the IVF process.
• The embryo transfer usually takes place about 6 weeks into the IVF cycle at the fertility clinic and is typically a simple, painless procedure.
• Fertility medications usually continue through the first weeks of pregnancy, with the full medication phase often lasting about 10 to 12 weeks.
• Choice Surrogacy serves as your liaison with the fertility clinic throughout the IVF embryo transfer process.

Surrogacy is a meaningful and positive experience for your whole family. Spouses/partners are involved in key decisions, and often form a warm connection with the intended parents. Many children enjoy knowing they were part of helping another family grow. It instills great pride that mom did something so amazing for someone else.
If you are married or partnered, you and your spouse/partner will also have a dedicated session with Trish. This gives them the chance to ask questions, understand expectations, and feel confident that the journey is a good fit for your entire household.  They also are a part of the legal contract process.

Most surrogates continue their regular routines, work schedules, and family responsibilities with minimal disruption. Required travel is limited to two short trips — one for medical screening and one for the embryo transfer. All other care happens locally near your home. Choice coordinates appointments and communication so scheduling feels as simple and manageable as possible.
Surrogates consistently tell us the journey fits naturally into their lives once the process begins.

Every match is unique, and you have a voice in defining the communication style that works best for you. Some surrogates enjoy regular contact with intended parents, while others prefer giving updates at key milestones. During the matching process, both sides share expectations, so the relationship feels comfortable and aligned from the start.
Choice guides this conversation with care to ensure communication is supportive, respectful, and natural for everyone involved.

Pregnancy complications can happen, even with women who have had healthy past pregnancies. If complications occur during your surrogacy journey, Choice Surrogacy ensures you are supported and financially protected.
All pregnancy-related medical care is fully covered by the intended parents through the approved insurance plan — you are never responsible for medical bills connected to the surrogacy pregnancy.
If complications limit your ability to work or require additional help at home, your Choice Surrogacy benefit package includes specific allowances designed to support you.

Choice Surrogacy has extensive experience in third-party reproduction insurance. We review your current health insurance to determine if it is surrogate appropriate. If a different plan is needed, we secure a compliant health policy that is suitable for your maternity and deliver care at no cost to you. Insurance, copays and deductibles for the pregnancy, delivery, and any related care is covered entirely by the intended parents through their parent client fund at Choice Surrogacy.

Possibly. If the intended parents’ fertility clinic is out of state, travel may be required. Choice Surrogacy arranges and pays for your travel, including two plane tickets and hotel, at no cost to you. This usually includes a short overnight trip for medical screening and a several-day trip for the embryo transfer, with arrival the night before the procedure and time to rest afterward before the mental and physical stress of air travel home. While being away from home can be inconvenient, protecting the best possible conditions for embryo transfer success makes that extra time worthwhile

No. In professionally managed surrogacy programs, intended parents do not change their minds about wanting a child or request to terminate a pregnancy in surrogacy based on preference, such as gender. All expectations are discussed, vetted, and legally agreed upon before pregnancy begins.
