If your initial surrogate questionnaire indicates a possibility of a potential match with intended parents, you will be contacted by one of our staff. We will gather supplemental materials, most importantly the medical records from your previous pregnanc(ies) and deliver(ies). The records will be reviewed by a clinician for approval. You will then speak with our gestational carrier coordinator (who is an experienced fertility nurse). We will consider possible matches and once we have a potential fit, we will all have a phone and/or video conference to see if this potential match feels right for everyone. Then, the medical screening takes place at the intended parents’ IVF clinic (usually in the Northeast) and it is often done in one day; all your travel costs would be covered in advance), and you would begin the treatment to prepare your uterus for pregnancy. You would need to make one more two-three day trip for the embryo transfer when you are ready (often this is about six-eight weeks after the onsite screening occurs). The prenatal care and birth take place in or close to your home town with your own doctors.
