Requirement for surrogate mother in Ukraine
Not all infertile couples need surrogacy services as most women are able to conceive with fertility medication or the IVF process. In some incidents, egg donor IVF might be needed. But opting for a surrogate mother should be the last option once all your infertility treatments are exhausted. As compared to western countries it is possible to find low-cost surrogate mothers in Ukraine. As compared to other European countries, surrogate mother cost in Ukraine is less and that is one of the reasons for affordable surrogacy costs in Ukraine.
Order 24 from the Health Ministry of Ukraine regulates and provides guidelines to protect the surrogate and a desirable outcome. According to the guidelines, surrogate mothers in Ukraine should be:
- Between 25 and 35 years old.
- Should have given birth at least once
- Physically and mentally competent to be a surrogate mother.
- It is not important to know the marital status of the surrogate’s parents is not relevant.
- A legally enforceable surrogacy agreement needs to be signed between parents and a surrogate mother in Ukraine.
Egg donor in Ukraine
Not all intended parents need egg donors, however, if you need them, egg donors in Ukraine can be found easily. There are a lot of good egg donors who are beautiful and medically screened and available for the program.
At the beginning of infertility treatment, your doctor might suggest Assisted Reproduction Techniques such as In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Generally, if you are a young lady below 30 years of age, you might be successful with IVF with your own eggs. However, this is not so simple for all!
There can be few couples whose fertility specialists might suggest using an egg donor IVF to improve the success rate of their IVF cycle. Your doctor will do scans (antral follicular scan) and blood tests (AMH) to evaluate your egg reservoirs before suggesting you an egg donor. If your fertility specialist feels you have markedly fewer chances of success with your own eggs, he/she might end up suggesting Donor IVF Cycle with surrogacy. The exact process remains the same as IVF, only instead of the Intended Parents ovum, a young and healthy donor provides genetic material for fertilization, and the resulting embryos are placed in the Intended Mother’s uterus or in the surrogate mother’s uterus, in hope of pregnancy.
You might be a candidate for donor eggs if you have any of these conditions:
- Premature ovarian failure, a condition in which menopause has started much earlier than usual, typically before age 40
- Diminished ovarian reserve, meaning that the eggs that you have are of low quality; this can often be caused by age because fertility drops off steeply after 40.
- Genetically transmitted diseases could be passed on to your child.
- A previous history of failure with IVF, especially when your doctor thinks that the quality of your eggs may be the problem.
Although opting for a donor IVF option can be a very difficult and emotional turmoil for any couple, but the use of donor eggs is becoming more common, especially among women over 40. If you see the bright side, a baby who is half genetically linked with a parent is better than no baby or adopted baby. It goes without saying that nine months of pregnancy and subsequent baby birth surely going to give the female partner the same emotional experience as she could have felt with her own baby. This technique surely gives the highest success rate of all fertility procedures and is nowadays widely practiced.
A potential egg donor should be:
- Between the ages of 18 and 30
- Physically healthy
- Mental healthy
- No criminal record
- Has regular, monthly menstrual periods
- Has both ovaries
- No bad habits
- No family history of inheritable genetic disorders
- Dependable, mature, and reliable
