Surrogate mother coordinators: who are they and what role do they play?

The decision to become a surrogate mother can cause a woman to have various concerns. One of them is the fear of being left alone in case of health complications. However, in our Agency, we create all the conditions to provide full support to every woman who participates in the surrogacy programme.

When the initial ultrasound confirms pregnancy, a personal coordinator is assigned to the surrogate mother. This is a woman who has had experience of surrogacy herself and has a good understanding of all aspects of the process. From the moment the pregnancy is confirmed until the birth, the coordinator will be in touch to help resolve any questions or concerns about the pregnancy, such as in case of illness or anxiety. After the birth, she will help the surrogate mother to return home from Europe safely.

The role of the coordinator

👉 The coordinator does not interfere with the surrogate's privacy, nor does she control her personal relationships or daily activities. Her task is to support and assist where and when needed.

👉 However, this does not relieve the surrogate mother of her responsibility to follow the doctors' recommendations in good faith. For example, if doctors indicate the need for changes in diet, physical activity, or restrictions on certain activities (for example, s*xual activity in case of a threat of miscarriage), this is done to maintain the health of both the mother and the child. The coordinator will help the surrogate mother to cope with these recommendations, explain their importance and support her in difficult situations.
Caring for health

🤣 Following medical recommendations is not a restriction of freedom, but a concern for the health of the woman and the child. For example, in case of rapid weight gain, swelling or high blood pressure, the woman may need to adjust her diet, take more walks in the fresh air or even go to the swimming pool. This approach helps to avoid complications and ensures a comfortable pregnancy.

👉 Surrogacy is a responsibility. It does not mean that a woman can completely relax and avoid physical activity. On the contrary, a healthy lifestyle contributes to the healthy development of the baby and the good condition of the pregnant woman.

Unforeseen situations

👉 Life is unpredictable, and if a surrogate mother faces very serious difficulties, she can always contact her coordinator. The Agency will do everything within its power to provide the necessary assistance.
👉 The surrogate's personal boundaries remain inviolable and we respect her right to privacy. Our main goal is to provide her with a comfortable and safe way to give birth to a healthy child, maintaining personal mental and physical health.

How the embryo transfer process works

The process of transporting embryos from one city (country) to another involves several important steps and requires strict adherence to precautions to ensure their safety and viability. Embryos are extremely sensitive to environmental changes, including temperature, humidity, light and mechanical stress.

Read more about all the aspects of this process

✅ It all starts with cryopreservation. The embryos are subjected to vitrification, an ultra-fast freezing method that prevents the formation of ice crystals that can damage cells. Each embryo is labelled and placed in an individual sterile straw. Each such tank is labelled with a unique identification number that corresponds to the patient's documentation.

✅ Packaging and transport environment. The straws with embryos are placed in special protective tubes or cannulas. For transportation, a Dewar vessel is used - a special container with liquid nitrogen that maintains an ultra-low temperature (-196°C). This is the temperature required to keep embryos frozen. Temperature sensors are installed inside the container to monitor the temperature during the entire transport. The temperature data is recorded and stored. The Dewar container is securely packaged to prevent mechanical damage during transport.

✅ Organisation of transportation. A specialised company is selected that has experience in transporting cryomaterials and guarantees compliance with temperature conditions and safety regulations. The optimal route is developed and the journey time is calculated taking into account possible delays. In some cases, a courier may be required to accompany the container, who will be responsible for the safety of the container and compliance with all transportation rules.

✅ Embryo collection at the recipient clinic. After the container arrives at the clinic where IVF will be performed, the accompanying documentation, compliance with identification numbers, the integrity of the Dewar container and the level of liquid nitrogen are thoroughly checked.
Important points
Time is a critical factor. The faster the transport, the lower the risk of unforeseen situations.

Who is a surrogate mother coordinator?

The surrogacy programme is a rather lengthy process, so parents often worry that the surrogate mother may find herself in a difficult situation, which could negatively affect the future child. However, such fears are unfounded. Your surrogate mother is always under our close supervision and with our support. We provide her with all the necessary conditions for physical and psychological comfort. No situation is left unattended, because we care about both the surrogate mother and the health of the child.
👉 Throughout the entire period of cooperation, our Agency provides the surrogate mother with full support, from the moment of the first contact to the completion of the programme. This includes the period after the birth of the child, when the surrogate mother returns home.
Constant support and personal assistance
Each surrogate mother is assigned a personal coordinator after being accepted into the programme. This is a woman who is available around the clock.
👉 The coordinator helps to resolve any issues: from consultations in case of illness or alarming symptoms to life situations, such as helping in case of illness of the surrogate mother's own child. We understand the importance of the surrogate mother's psychological comfort and mental health for a successful pregnancy.
👉 Our approach is based on care and trust: we do not interfere in personal life, but we are always ready to provide support.
Doctor's recommendations and limits of responsibility
Established personal boundaries do not mean that we do nothing and just wait for a call from the surrogate mother.
👉 We communicate regularly and provide the necessary recommendations. All actions are carried out delicately and with respect for her privacy, without interfering in her personal life. We work with doctors who provide professional recommendations on nutrition, physical activity, and other aspects. For example, if the mother is gaining weight rapidly, the doctor may recommend dietary adjustments. In case of a health threat or in the early stages of pregnancy, the doctor may recommend limiting s*xual activity, etc.
👉 At the same time, we strictly adhere to ethical standards and legislation. The personal boundaries of the surrogate mother remain inviolable, and we do not interfere in her private life without urgent need.
Always there
We are always there for the surrogate mother, supporting her at every stage of the programme. We help to resolve difficult situations and provide the necessary attention and care.
👉 Our goal is to create comfortable conditions, ensure a safe pregnancy and promote the emotional well-being of every woman who has entrusted herself to participate in such an important mission.

Who are surrogate mothers?

Most recipients undergoing a surrogacy programme are interested to know who their saviour is. Where does she live, does she have children, what kind of lifestyle does she lead, etc.

✅ 1. A surrogate mother is a single woman with or without a child

According to our observations, we are most often approached by divorced women or women who, due to life circumstances, are left alone with a child or children. For them, surrogacy is an opportunity to find a way out of a temporary situation by getting a base - a regular salary and housing. At the end of the programme, surrogates receive a substantial payment, which for most of them becomes a start to buying their own housing.
During the programme, many of them acquire new skills or online education, for example, in SMM or targeting, accounting, which allows them to combine the surrogacy programme, their own children and remote work.
Most of these candidates complete 2-3 programmes with us.

✅ 2. A surrogate mother is a married woman

👉 Surrogate mothers are most often women who want to support themselves and their children in difficult times or are looking for an opportunity to lay the foundation for a new start in life. Regardless of their marital status, they are always adequate, happy girls who have a certain level of education, lead a responsible lifestyle, and have their own children.
You can always communicate with your surrogate mother both before and during the programme - most of them will be happy if you ask about her well-being and send her greetings.

An average portrait of a surrogate mother from our agency

Surrogate mothers (SMs) of our agency are always adult women under the age of 41 who have their own children.
Most of the SMs in our agency are women who have already worked with us before. They often start out as egg donors and later, due to personal circumstances or age, move on to a surrogacy programme. The cooperation can last for several years. Many of these women stay with us for a long time, seeing surrogacy as their chance to improve their lives. The average number of times a woman participates in the programme is two to three times.

Who are our surrogate mothers

Often, our SMs are single women or those who have a partner whom they cannot fully rely on in financial matters. For example, in cases where a woman realises that her partner will not be able to provide for the purchase of an apartment or pay for the children's education. Sometimes women come to us because they need to provide medical treatment for their loved ones. We had a case when a SM took part in the programme to raise funds for an operation for her son, who could lose his eyesight.

Combining surrogacy and work

It is important to note that our surrogate mothers are mostly active women who do not limit themselves to participation in the programme. Most of them continue to work. This is most often remote work - logistics, translations, website promotion, accounting, etc. Although these activities usually do not generate much income, they help women remain financially independent, maintain their professional skills and vitality.

There are women with offline jobs among the SMs. For example, cashiers in shops, pre-school teachers, primary school teachers. There are also housewives who have husbands who support the family, but their salaries do not allow them to buy real estate.

👉 We would like to clarify that we have clear requirements for the work of surrogate mothers. Women who work in heavy or physically demanding positions must change their jobs to avoid possible risks to themselves and the child. This is an important criterion for our selection, as the woman's health and the child's safety always come first.

We understand that our interaction with the SM may last for more than a year. The programme includes the period of pregnancy, preparation for it, and the process of legalising the newborn. Therefore, it is important for us to make sure that we are dealing with an adequate and responsible person who will not create any difficulties.

Openness in cooperation with parents

To summarise, the women who participate in our programmes have a stable social and financial situation, are self-sufficient and responsible.

Our agency ensures transparency at all stages for expectant parents. You can get information about your potential SM, see her CV and photos. You can even talk to her personally if it is important to you.
We carefully select our SMs to make the process easier for both ourselves and the future parents. You can be sure that we will never approve a candidate who could cause problems in the future either for the agency or for the biological parents.

The role of technology in improving ART methods

In recent years, no fundamentally new techniques have emerged in the field of reproductive technologies, however the existing ones have been significantly improved.

Our clinic has been working in the field of surrogacy since the early 2000s. At that time scientists made major discoveries that can be called ‘breakthroughs’ in reproductive medicine. One of the most important achievements was the development of freezing technology, which significantly changed the approach to artificial insemination.

Two decades ago, high-quality embryo freezing practically did not exist. In cases where a woman's stimulation resulted in, for example, 20 embryos, they had to be implanted immediately. This was primarily to avoid the risk of embryo loss during freezing. This often led to multiple pregnancies - sometimes 4-5-6 embryos survived. In such cases, it was necessary to reduce the number of embryos, which could sometimes lead to the loss of the entire pregnancy.

Modern vitrification technology ensures almost 99% of successful embryo storage. This is an impressive figure, although it can vary depending on the quality of the source material. Thus, if a woman's stimulation results in 20 eggs and IVF produces the same number of embryos, it is highly likely that most of them will be preserved after freezing and thawing. This minimises the need for simultaneous transfer of a large number of embryos.

A technique for rapid freezing without the formation of ice crystals
Vitrification is a new approach to freezing embryos, in which the process lasts for a very short time, reminiscent of ‘shock’ freezing. In this case, the material becomes glassy, and there are no ice crystals in the tissues, which can damage the cells. This significantly increases the survival rate of embryos compared to the classic, long-term freezing process.

Thanks to vitrification, modern clinics can effectively store both embryos and eggs. Previously, classical freezing allowed only 25-35% of eggs to be preserved, even in healthy young women. This significantly limited the chances of successful fertilisation after thawing. Instead, vitrification preserves about 80-85% of eggs, which increases the efficiency of fertilisation procedures.👉 It is thanks to the improvement of embryo and egg freezing methods that technological developments in the field of reproductive medicine have enabled the current significant progress in surrogacy.

Programme for single male fathers

In today's society, the issue of assisted parenthood is becoming increasingly relevant. However, single men who dream of becoming fathers often face obstacles even now. Most surrogacy agencies are focused on couples, which can create the impression of discrimination for those who wish to raise a child on their own.

Unfortunately, in many countries, legislation does not always support the possibility of surrogacy for single men, which significantly limits their chances of becoming parents. For such cases, we have developed a special programme where the initial and final stages take place in Eastern Europe, which is most convenient for our patients.

The main principle of this programme is gestational surrogacy. This means that the surrogate has no biological connection to the child she is carrying. The patient chooses an egg donor according to his own criteria, after which the girl's eggs are fertilised in the laboratory with the s***m of the future father. The embryo is then transferred to a surrogate mother.

According to European law, the woman who gave birth to the child is recorded as the mother on the birth certificate. The father is the child's biological father.

After the birth, he takes the child and receives a birth certificate. Then, if necessary, the father can file a lawsuit to deprive the surrogate mother of her parental rights. We, for our part, provide the father with full legal support and all the necessary documents to obtain sole rights to the child.

If you would like to know the cost of the programme or have any other questions, please contact us on WhatsApp +980955654864

Standard and guaranteed surrogacy programme for parents

Future parents can choose between two types of surrogacy programmes: a standard package and a guaranteed package. These programmes differ in the number of IVF (in vitro fertilisation) attempts and the total cost.

Standard package

The cost of the standard programme includes one IVF and one embryo transfer. If the pregnancy does not occur on the first attempt, each subsequent embryo transfer will cost the parents an additional 2000 euros. If the pregnancy occurs but is interrupted, the parents are obliged to pay compensation to the surrogate mother for damage to her health.

Guaranteed package

This programme is chosen by those who want to pay once and avoid additional costs for risks. The programme is suitable for various forms of parenting, except for couples using donor eggs.

The guaranteed programme package includes

- an unlimited number of IVF attempts and embryo transfers
- an unlimited number of donor and surrogate mother replacements
- repeating the programme without additional payments in case of pregnancy termination at any time

Dear parents, remember that you are not alone - our team supports you at every stage of the process. We do our best to make your dreams of parenthood come true. Your strength, patience and love for your unborn child are the main things that lead you to success.

Does surrogacy guarantee results?

Many parents believe that surrogacy is guaranteed to give them a child in the short term. It will definitely be a full-term and completely healthy baby. But is this really the case?

The reality of surrogacy

In reality, surrogacy is primarily a way of giving birth to a genetically related child from people who provide their biological material (s***m and eggs). The quality of this material is a determining factor in the further course of events. Doctors cannot artificially change or improve biological parameters. Age-related changes or inherited diseases are transmitted to the child, regardless of whether the child is born to a biological or surrogate mother. In other words, heredity remains an important component of the process of the genesis of new life.

Does surrogacy guarantee a quick result?

Turning to surrogacy does not guarantee a quick result or the elimination of possible problems. Surrogacy can increase the chances of having a child, but it is not an ironclad guarantee of success.
Surrogacy is a chance, but not a panacea

Surrogacy is a miracle that gives many people a chance to become parents. Modern medical advances open up new opportunities for those who have faced difficulties on the path to parenthood. Unfortunately, however, not all problems can be solved even with the help of progress. Some aspects, such as genetics or health conditions, remain beyond the control of doctors. No clinic can give future parents a full guarantee of pregnancy. No clinic can guarantee that the pregnancy will be successfully carried to term and that a healthy child will be born.

Surrogacy retains all the risks that are inherent in natural conception and birth, but their number is much smaller due to the careful selection of the woman who will carry the fetus and the selection of embryos, which allows us to choose a healthy and viable embryo.

At our clinic, we understand how emotionally difficult this journey can be, so we have developed special programmes to help our patients continue their attempts and increase their chances of success.

What does a woman's ovarian reserve depend on

Ahead of the question of the factors that affect a woman's reproductive potential, we are going to address this topic.
Ovarian reserve is a measure of a woman's stock of viable eggs, which is an important indicator of reproductive potential. What factors affect the ovarian reserve:

• Age.
• Previous pregnancies or egg donation.
• Lifestyle.
• Diseases.

First factor : the woman's age

Reproductive age is the period in a woman's life when she is physiologically capable of conceiving and bearing a child. The intensive reproductive age is the stage in life during which a woman has the greatest capacity for these processes, from 20 to 36 years.

After this period, most women begin to experience a decline in ovarian reserve and egg quality. Around the age of 40, most women experience a sharp decline in AMH (antimullerian hormone). It is produced in the ovarian follicles and is an indicator of the ovarian reserve.

This does not mean that after the age of 40, a woman abruptly loses the ability to become pregnant on her own naturally, not at all. However, eggs become unsuitable for IVF. According to statistics, only 1-1.5 % of women over 40 are able to produce eggs that can survive IVF, freezing and transfer.

Therefore, if you plan to use your own oocytes for artificial insemination in the future, it is better to do it before the age of 36.

Second factor: previous pregnancies or egg donation

Undoubtedly, the number of pregnancies and ovulation stimulations affects ovarian exhaustion.
And even in professional egg donors with an above-average ovarian reserve, we observe a gradual decrease in AMH after each stimulation.

Third factor: lifestyle

Alcohol, smoking, food waste, environment - all these factors primarily affect the quality of cells, as well as the maintenance of the body's reproductive system. Therefore, it is important to change your habits to more healthy ones a month or two before ovarian stimulation and puncture.

Fourth factor: illnesses

There are factors that, unfortunately, do not depend on us, women, in any way. They can be inherited or the result of a disease. This is what leads to premature ageing of the ovarian function.
A striking example is oncology, which actually destroys biological tissue.
Chemotherapy completely negates the possibility of using eggs in IVF fertilisation.

How the surrogacy programme runs. Stages VI-VIII

Hello, dear future clients! We are continuing our series of stories about the stages of assisted parenting that biological parents and surrogate mothers go through.

The sixth stage is pregnancy monitoring
Goal: monitoring the health of the mother and the baby
Scheduled monitoring of the health of the mother and the baby is quite standard, but we do it a little more often and conduct more examinations.
Up to the 12th week, an ultrasound is performed every 14 days, after the 12th week - every three weeks.
Once a month, the pregnant woman visits the obstetrician, provided that everything is fine and in accordance with the norms. If there are any comments, the surrogate mother will have to undergo tests, medical check-ups, additional ultrasounds and treatment. All of this is included in the cost of the programme, meaning that future parents do not pay anything extra.
The seventh stage is preparation for childbirth
Goal: to approve the place of birth of the child, to arrange the registration of the surrogate mother to the maternity hospital
Around 30-32 weeks of pregnancy, the last screening is carried out by a geneticist. At this time, together with the parents, a decision is made on where the woman will give birth, whether it will be a caesarean section or a natural birth.
A caesarean section is performed solely out of medical necessity. For example, the baby is lying incorrectly or is weak. Or there are problems with the surrogate mother's health. For example, she had a caesarean section before and now the stitch is not safe.
If the childbirth is planned in Europe, at 34 weeks, if the woman is in a satisfactory condition, we take her, accompanied by a coordinator, to the country where the child is planned to be born. Usually, this can be Poland or the Czech Republic, which is agreed in advance with the child's parents.

In Poland and the Czech Republic, we also have coordinators who meet the surrogate mother, arrange her arrival and help her in an unfamiliar country. An accommodation is rented for her and she stays there until the birth. The coordinator monitors the woman's well-being, takes her to medical tests by car and helps her with all her questions.

The surrogate mother is registered at the maternity ward where she will give birth. Doctors examine her and take the necessary tests. All medical documents are translated.
One of the child's parents can be present at the birth alongside the surrogate.

Stage eight - delivery and departure of the child with parents
Goal: to document the birth and hand the child over to the parents
Usually, a woman stays in the hospital for 2-5 days, depending on whether she had a normal delivery or a caesarean section. Parents can visit the baby while she is in the maternity ward, and should take it home immediately after discharge. Please take care of comfortable accommodation in advance, as you will have to spend at least a few days with your baby there.
Obtaining a birth certificate takes some time: on average, from a couple of days to a week.
If necessary, a power of attorney from the surrogate mother and/or the baby's travel passport are issued.
With the set of documents, the parents and their child go home. Of course, when they arrive in their home country, there may be some nuances. For example, additional powers of attorney and statements from the surrogate mother will be required. This is absolutely normal. We stay in touch with our clients. If necessary, we will intervene in the child's registration process and help to resolve additional legal issues that may arise.

How the surrogacy programme runs. Stages III-V

Hello, dear future clients! We continue our series of stories about the stages of assisted parenthood that expectant parents and surrogate mothers go through.

The third stage is in vitro fertilisation
Goal: to create an embryo
This stage of the programme is the IVF process itself. The presence of the future parents is no longer mandatory (provided that the donor is stimulated, not the expectant mother herself).
IVF is a process during which the fertilisation of an egg by a s***m occurs not in a woman's body, but in the laboratory. That is, doctors use the future mother's oocytes or select an egg donor.
A donor is also used for same-s*x male couples and single men.
The donor is stimulated for 10-12 days. Then her eggs are received and fertilised with the s***m of the future father.
The fourth stage is embryo transfer
Goal: search for a surrogate mother and proceeding with embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the final stage of the IVF programme. The agency searches for a surrogate mother who meets the requirements of the programme, the candidate is examined and prepared with medication. After that, one or two embryos are transferred.
The fifth stage is a blood test for pregnancy
7-10 days after the embryo transfer, a blood test for the hCG hormone is performed twice for the antimony to confirm pregnancy. This is a hormone that begins to be produced immediately after the fertilised egg implants into the uterine wall. That is why it is often called the ‘pregnancy hormone’.
Approximately on the 21st day after the transfer, an initial ultrasound is performed. It will not yet show the doctors the baby's heartbeat. It is done solely to make sure
• that it is a uterine pregnancy,
• that the baby is developing well,
• that there is no detachment,
• that there are no developmental nuances that require medical intervention.
After another 10-14 days, a second ultrasound is performed (approximately 5-6 weeks after embryo transfer). If everything goes well and the baby develops according to the norms, then you can already see its heartbeat.
This is the final confirmation of pregnancy. The most important thing is behind us - we got pregnant. But there is an equally difficult process ahead - the preservation and proper development of the baby for almost 8 months.
