IVF vs. Surrogacy: Which is the Better Option?
In vitro
fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy are the alternate ways of having a kid and
can be resorted when a couple is not able to conceive through natural means.
The reasons for infertility may vary from person to person ranging from
infertility issues in women and low sperm count in men, to blocked or damaged
fallopian tubes and early menopause in women’s.
With the
advancement in technologies and methods for treatment there are various types
of options available when it comes to infertility treatment.
We can either go for surrogacy or IVF (in vitro fertilization) if you have been
trying to conceive more than a year and you are left without a result.
Surrogacy
There are
still some controversies going on about using a surrogate mother to have a baby
for couples. This involves long and tricky legal procedure which varies from
state to state.
Even if it’s
for fertility issues or for any other reasons surrogacy is an option for
couples who are finding difficulty in conceiving.
When we talk
about surrogacy there are two types
of surrogate:
Traditional surrogate: traditional surrogate is a woman who gets
artificially inseminated from the male’s sperm. She then carries the baby and
then later delivers it to the intended parents.
A
traditional surrogate is the biological mother of the baby; it’s so because the
women’s egg was fertilized by the male’s sperm. In such case donor sperm can
also be used.
Gestational
surrogate: this technique is more or less related to IVF which makes possible
to collect a woman’s egg, fertilize them with the male’s sperm and transfer the
embryos into the uterus of the surrogate.
The
requirement of surrogate
If a women’s
undergoes any of the following issues then they need to take help of a
surrogate:
·
Medical
issues with your uterus
·
Any
hysterectomy done which removed your uterus
·
Physical
or medical issues which make pregnancy impossible for you.
Surrogates
mother have also made parenthood possible for couples who do not have babies or
are not able to conceive even after a long time.
