Finding an egg donor for surrogacy
We specialise in finding and matching altruistic egg donors for intended parents (IPs) that need the help of a surrogate to have a child.
What is surrogacy?
Surrogacy is when a woman becomes pregnant, carries and gives birth to a baby for another individual or couple. There is both gestational surrogacy and partial surrogacy.
What's full surrogacy?
Full surrogacy (gestational or host surrogacy) is when the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby they carry. The surrogate undergoes an IVF cycle with an embryo created from donor eggs and the sperm from one of the intended parents, or a sperm donor (known as double donation).
What's partial surrogacy?
Partial or traditional surrogacy is when the surrogate’s eggs are fertilised using one of the intended parent’s sperm and she undergoes a fertility treatment such as IUI or IVF.
All you need to know about surrogacy in the UK
Surrogacy is legal in the UK, however as with donating eggs, it is an altruistic act and a surrogate cannot be paid. Surrogacy involves a lot of complicated legal issues and it’s recommended that you seek legal advice to support you.
In the UK, the surrogate is the legal mother of the child, even with donated eggs and sperm. You will need to obtain a parental order from the court to ensure that the surrogate cannot retain any legal rights or obligations to the child.
Apricity is partnered with My Surrogacy Journey, a non-profit organisation that supports intended parents through the surrogacy process.
Who is surrogacy treatment for?
How successful is surrogacy?
The success rates for surrogacy are dependent on a number of different factors such as the fertility of the surrogate and her ability to conceive, the age and quality of the donor eggs, the success of the fertility treatment (e.g. IVF, IUI, ICSI) and the quality of the sperm.
Probably the most important factor is the quality of the eggs, and therefore the age of the egg donor. At Apricity our donors are carefully selected to meet the egg donation criteria including age, AMH levels, BMI and fertility.
The age of the surrogate can be important, as women over 35 face greater risks of complications during pregnancy.
Where can I find a surrogate?
You may have a family member or friend that is willing to be a surrogate for you. If not, the best place to start would be one of the organisations in the UK that support surrogacy. Fertility clinics are not allowed to search or provide surrogates.
We are partnered with My Surrogacy Journey, an independent organisation that provides professional, practical and emotional support for those going through surrogacy.
