Using a Gestational Carrier

What is a Gestational Carrier?

A gestational carrier, or surrogate, is a woman who carries and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple.

Embryos are created using the intended parents' gametes (autologous IVF), donor eggs, donor sperm, or a combination of autologous and donor tissue through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Then, these embryos are inserted into the surrogate’s uterus, hopefully resulting in a successful pregnancy. The gestational carrier has no genetic relation to the baby.

Who Can Use a Gestational Carrier?

A person or couple may consider using a gestational carrier if the intended mother:

  • Has no uterus
  • Has a structural issue that prevents the uterus from carrying a successful pregnancy
  • Has a medical condition that prevents her from safely carrying and delivering a child
  • Has a history of recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Has a history of multiple unexplained IVF failures
