Surrogacy
MFS offers host surrogacy treatment, where the commissioning couple provide the embryos which have been created through IVF or ICSI and which are then placed in the uterus of the surrogate. Both the commissioning couple and the surrogate must be UK residents.
- couples for whom non-surrogate fertility treatments have failed
- couples for whom pregnancy is clinically inadvisable
Who may benefit?
What does treatment involve?
- both the commissioning couple and the surrogate receive extensive and separate consultations from different members of the clinical team to cover the medical, scientific, emotional and legal issues of surrogacy and the welfare interests of any current or future children
- counselling is recommended to consider any unresolved issues about the need for surrogacy treatment and also the future relationships of the commissioning family, the surrogate and their wider families IVF or ICSI or embryo donation may be recommended
What is included in the treatment cost?
Surrogacy may require IVF or ICSI, and possibly include the use of donor sperm, eggs or embryos and so a summary of the costs is not possible. Guidance on the cost for any individual couple is available at the initial consultation or at the follow-up appointment.
