Unfortunately, some couples for one reason or another are deprived of the possibility of having a child. Multiple attempts to conceive a child lead to the collapse of marriage or hope, but modern medicine can help solve even such serious problems as childlessness. In the article "artificial insemination and surrogate motherhood" we will reveal options how to become happy. Today, many clinics are engaged in surrogate motherhood and artificial insemination. These programs give the opportunity to experience the joy of motherhood for all women who are deprived of this opportunity for health reasons.
Everything starts with artificial insemination - this is the method of fertilization, when fertilization occurs by artificial means, that is, with the help of medical instruments. In this case, use the sperm or egg of future parents. Fertilized ovules are transferred to the body of another woman - a surrogate mother. Scientists have found that the probability of pregnancy is between 30 and 70%. You can also impregnate an egg of a surrogate mother with a male sperm and still the child is transferred to a married couple.
Surrogate motherhood is an assisted reproductive technology, in which one woman agrees to the pregnancy and delivery of a child who is biologically alien to her, who will later go on to be raised for genetic parents. They will be considered legal parents, even if the child was borne by a surrogate mother.
Before these procedures, a mandatory examination is scheduled for a woman who is going to become a surrogate mother. The doctor watches her menstrual cycle, hormonal preparations are prescribed, which increase the chance of successful fertilization. These drugs stimulate the ovaries to produce several mature eggs, so these drugs should be used from the beginning of the new menstrual cycle. The doctor then uses ultrasound and tests to determine the appropriate time for fertilization. After this process, after two weeks, you can find out whether pregnancy has come or not. The process itself is short-lived, takes about an hour, but it does not always work out the first time, some have to go through this process three to six times. The success of artificial insemination depends on important factors: the age of the parents and their health. If an egg is used by the surrogate mother herself, then some of her genes can be transmitted. And if the egg and sperm of the couple are used, the child will completely inherit the genes of his biological parents.
After the birth of a child, a birth certificate, the consent of the mother, which carried the child and the certificate from the clinic, is required for his registration. Surrogate mother after the transfer of the child to parents no longer has any rights to the child. If the future surrogate mother has a husband, then this procedure requires his consent. In order to avoid a lot of problems, conclude a contract. The contract is commercial and non-commercial. Under a commercial contract, a surrogate mother receives a material benefit, and a non-commercial agreement assumes only the payment of expenses during pregnancy. The contract should stipulate the following items: medical expenses, compensation for loss of earnings, the place of residence of the surrogate mother during pregnancy, the clinic where the procedure will be performed, the consequences of the birth of a disabled child, the duties of the surrogate mother in fulfilling the prescriptions of the doctor.
The services of a surrogate mother can be used not only by married couples, but also by single men and women. The law does not provide for any prohibitions on marital status, sex and sexual orientation. Studies have shown that people who decided to take this step were satisfied. Someone is positive about the artificial conception of the child, and someone is negative, but despite these conflicting opinions, this side of medicine will develop, because, unfortunately, there will always be couples who can not conceive of the child themselves. Of course there will be a trace from the fact that the couple received the child not in a natural way, but the surrogate mother broke up with the child she was carrying under her heart, but all this will not matter when mom and dad get their so desired child.
