How long does it take to be an agent?

The timeline for becoming a surrogate varies, but typically, the embryo transfer will most likely take place around three months after you meet your intended parents.

It will take about two weeks to recover your medical and psychological screening results. It will also take two to three weeks to go through the legal process.

Once you are approved to begin your IVF transfer cycle, you will need another three to four weeks to establish your uterine lining.

While you wait, we’ll help you build strong bonds and get ready to start this wonderful journey!

Do potential surrogates have to disclose medical records?

Yes, potential surrogates are required to disclose their medical records. This is an important step in the surrogacy process as it ensures the health and safety of both the surrogate and the baby. It allows the agency and potential intended parents to have a clear picture of the surrogate’s medical history, including previous pregnancies and any potential health risks. This transparency is essential to build trust and ensure a successful surrogacy journey.

Can I still do surrogacy if I have difficulty getting pregnant?

It depends. While fertility challenges can be a complex issue, they do not automatically preclude the possibility of becoming a surrogate. If your difficulties are due to factors unrelated to your overall health or the health of your uterus, you may still be a good candidate for surrogacy. However, if the challenge comes from repeated pregnancy loss or serious pregnancy complications, we need to consider your safety and that of your baby.

At Little Monster, we prioritize everyone’s health and well-being. We will guide you through a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure that your surrogacy journey is both successful and safe.

If “I have had a miscarriage before, can I still do surrogacy?” ”

Experiencing a miscarriage does not automatically prevent you from becoming a surrogate. Miscarriage can have a variety of causes, many of which may not affect future pregnancies. As long as the miscarriage is not the result of an ongoing health condition or uterine environmental issues, and you have successfully had a full-term pregnancy, you may still be a potential surrogacy candidate. Each situation is unique and will be thoroughly reviewed by our medical team to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved in the surrogacy journey.

I have had a high-risk pregnancy, can I still do surrogacy?

A high-risk pregnancy doesn’t necessarily disqualify you from becoming a surrogate, but it does raise some considerations. Certain high-risk conditions from previous pregnancies, such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes or high blood pressure, may affect your eligibility.

AtLittle Monster, our medical partners work hard to ensure the safest journey for our surrogate mothers and intended parents. We evaluate each potential surrogate’s medical history separately to minimize risk and promote a healthy, successful pregnancy.

If “I previously gave birth by C-section, can I still be a surrogate?” ”

Having a history of C-section does not automatically rule you out becoming a surrogate mother. In fact, many surrogates have successfully delivered their babies by caesarean section. However, to ensure the health and safety of you and the intended baby, most doctors prefer a potential surrogate to perform no more than two C-sections. At Little Monster, your health is our priority and all medical considerations will be thoroughly assessed during your screening process.

Can I become an agent if my tube is tied?

Absolute! Your tube being tied up will not affect your ability to become an agent. This is because surrogacy involves in vitro fertilization (IVF), which is a process that creates an embryo in a laboratory that is then transferred directly to your uterus. So, prior tubal ligation – tying up your fallopian tubes – will not interfere with your journey as a surrogate.

Can I become a surrogate if I have had an abortion before?

Having had an abortion doesn’t necessarily prevent you from becoming a surrogate. The key factor we consider is the long-term health of the uterus. As long as your past abortions don’t have any lasting effects on your endometrium, you are still eligible to become a surrogate.

As part of the Little Monster surrogacy process, you’ll undergo a thorough medical screening to check the health of your uterus, including any endometrial problems that may arise. We always prioritize the health and safety of surrogate mothers and their future babies.

Can I become a surrogate mother if I receive public assistance, such as food stamps?

While we truly value and appreciate the willingness to help others in their parenthood journey, it is important to note that the joy of life cannot be accepted by alternative applicants who are currently receiving public assistance, such as food stamps. We want to ensure that our surrogates remain financially stable prior to the surrogacy process, as this is essential for the surrogate’s overall health and well-being. We believe that surrogacy compensation should be seen as a way to improve an individual’s life and not as a necessity for daily living expenses.

Can I be a surrogate mother if I am married/in a relationship/single?

Whether you’re married, married, or single, we’ll welcome you with open arms! However, we do ask that you share your current marital status with your Little Monster team, as this may have an impact on certain contracts during the legal process related to surrogacy. Transparency is key, and we’re committed to guiding you every step of the way while prioritizing your best interests.

What is the difference between gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy?

In the traditional surrogacy process, the surrogate’s own eggs are fertilized by the intended father’s or donor’s sperm, giving the surrogate a genetic relationship to the baby. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a medical procedure that transfers sperm from the intended father directly into the uterus of the surrogate mother.

During gestational surrogacy, the egg donor’s eggs will be used to create embryos. In this case, the surrogate does not have any genetic relationship with the baby and is simply considered the “biological mother”. Fertilized embryos are implanted by in vitro fertilization.
