How often does gestational surrogacy “work”?
68 % of our surrogate cycles result in pregnancy on the first attempt. Following the completion of 2 attempts, 84 % of surrogates have become pregnant. It should be remembered that the structure of the payments in our program allow for repeat cycles at significantly reduced fees. In addition, most of the cost of the first cycle includes the surrogate becoming pregnant and delivering the baby. If conception does not occur on the first attempt, the surrogate compensation is only for that part of the program that she has completed. The remaining money destined for payment to the surrogate covering the term of the pregnancy and the delivery remains in trust for a successful cycle, or is refunded to the couple should they elect not to try a repeat attempt. Nearly every couple that “sticks with it” related to surrogacy attempts ultimately achieves a health pregnancy.
