IVF and Surrogacy?
Understanding IVF: In this section, we'll delve into the significance of IVF in surrogacy. Whether you're using your own eggs or those of an egg donor, IVF is an integral part of creating embryos for the surrogacy process. We'll explain how IVF works, who covers the costs, and how it fits into your surrogacy journey.

We'll provide a detailed breakdown of each stage, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of the IVF process.
Financial Considerations: While IVF is a crucial component of surrogacy, it's essential to be aware of the associated costs.
