Surrogacy: An Introduction – Understanding the Journey with Nex IVF Patna

Parenthood is a dream shared by many, but for some couples, the path to becoming parents isn’t always easy. One of the growing options for those facing medical or biological challenges is surrogacy — a powerful and compassionate method to help build families.

At Nex IVF Patna, we understand the emotional weight that infertility can carry. We believe everyone deserves a chance to experience parenthood. That’s why we offer complete guidance and support for those considering surrogacy as a part of their fertility journey.

In this blog, we’ll explain what surrogacy means, who it’s for, and how Nex IVF helps you every step of the way.

What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction where a woman (called the surrogate) agrees to carry and give birth to a child for another individual or couple (called the intended parents).

In most modern cases, the baby is biologically related to one or both of the intended parents, not the surrogate. This is done using IVF.

Types of Surrogacy

There are two main types of surrogacy:

1. Gestational Surrogacy

The most common and widely accepted method.
The embryo is created using the eggs and/or sperm of the intended parents (or donors) and then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.
The surrogate has no genetic link to the baby.

2. Traditional Surrogacy

The surrogate uses her own egg and is artificially inseminated.
This method is not legal in many places, including India, due to ethical and emotional complications.

At Nex IVF, we only support gestational surrogacy, in line with Indian legal guidelines.

Who Can Benefit from Surrogacy?

Surrogacy can be a life-changing option for:

Women with medical conditions that make pregnancy risky or impossible
Those who have undergone hysterectomy or have absent uterus
Women with repeated IVF failures
Couples dealing with unexplained infertility
Individuals with certain genetic disorders
Intended parents from the LGBTQ+ community (as per evolving legal frameworks)

Is Surrogacy Legal in India?

Yes, surrogacy is legal in India, but only under strict regulations. As per the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021:

Only altruistic surrogacy is allowed (the surrogate cannot be paid, except for medical and insurance expenses).
The surrogate must be a close relative of the intended parents.
Only married Indian heterosexual couples who meet certain medical criteria can pursue surrogacy.

At Nex IVF Patna, we strictly follow all government rules and ethical guidelines while assisting patients through surrogacy.
