IVF, donor eggs and surrogacy: your questions answered

A program that organizes several stages of treatment under terms defined from the start. How many procedures it includes depends on your medical evaluation and your agreement.

It depends on your case: your own eggs or donor eggs, medications, studies and travel. We send an itemized written quote in USD after your consultation.

It can be for some patients, but it depends on the treatment and your travel. Compare itemized written quotes, not headline prices.

No. No fertility program can. What we give you is a clear plan and a team beside you.

Yes. We confirm your clinic can receive them and coordinate paperwork, shipping and reception.

The eggs come from a donor. They are fertilized in the laboratory and the embryos are transferred to the intended mother. Your doctor decides whether it fits your situation.

It depends on the pathway and your case. We send a written proposal in USD with what is included and what is not.

Eight mature vitrified oocytes and a proposal of at least two good-quality embryos, under documented contract terms. It is not a promise of pregnancy.

It depends on federal and state rules and on your clinic’s policies. We confirm what applies before any plan starts.

With our team, from donor profiles. Each donor’s availability is confirmed when you choose.

With frozen eggs, your clinic does the fertilization. With embryo creation, CELAGEM’s laboratory does it and you receive embryos ready for transfer.

The laboratory fertilizes donor eggs with semen, cultures the embryos and freezes them for a later transfer.

No. A semen sample prepared by a clinic near you is shipped to our laboratory and the embryos are shipped to your transfer clinic. You can visit if you want.

In CELAGEM’s laboratories. In your consultation we confirm which one.

No. No one can. We give you a clear process and a team beside you.

In gestational surrogacy, a surrogate carries a pregnancy created through IVF, and she is not the genetic mother of the baby. CELAGEM offers it through its surrogacy program, also described as supportive or solidarity pregnancy.

The program is designed with a single payment so that intended parents know there are no unexpected additional costs along the way. The amount depends on the program type (single or double process), so we share it after your first conversation.

In the single process, one biological parent or a couple of biological parents seeks one pregnancy with one surrogate. In the double process, two simultaneous processes are carried out, with one or two biological parents and two surrogates.

The law differs by country and changes over time, both where the baby is born and in your home country. The program includes legal counseling in the country where the baby is born, and we recommend that you also consult an attorney in the U.S. about citizenship and parentage documents for your own situation.

Multi-cycle IVF is for people who want a complete, planned IVF treatment. The donor egg bank and embryo creation are for people using donor eggs. Surrogacy is for intended parents who need a surrogate. We decide together in your consultation.

It depends on whether you use your own eggs or donor eggs, on medications, add-on studies and travel. We do not publish a general price. After your consultation we send an itemized written quote in USD.

Yes. You can write to us on WhatsApp or with the form. Our patient care team can arrange a first consultation.

CELAGEM works with heterosexual, same-sex and single-parent families. Your medical and legal options depend on your situation, and our team will explain them during your first consultation.
