Mexico Surrogacy Timeline: Power IVF Helps Plan Your Journey!

For intended parents eager to have their own baby through Mexico surrogacy, beyond concerns about legal aspects, costs, and success rates, the duration of the entire surrogacy process is a widely asked question. Generally, from the moment you decide to start your surrogacy journey until the baby's birth, it typically takes 12 to 24 months. The exact duration can vary due to several factors.

1.  Preparation and Matching Phase (approx. 2-6 months):

    This is the kick-off of the surrogacy journey and a crucial first step. It includes:

     Consultation & Evaluation: You'll have an initial consultation with a professional surrogacy agency to understand Mexico surrogacy laws, procedures, and costs, and undergo a preliminary fertility assessment.

     Legal Document Preparation: Signing relevant agreements and legal documents to define the rights and obligations of all parties.

     Surrogate Mother Matching: The agency will match you with a suitable surrogate mother based on your specific needs and preferences. This process requires time for rigorous background checks, health screenings, and psychological evaluations. Finding a physically and mentally healthy, well-matched surrogate mother is critical and sometimes requires patience.

     Medical Preparation: If you need egg donation or sperm donation, this phase also involves the screening and preliminary preparation of egg or sperm donors.

2.  Medical Cycle Phase (approx. 1-3 months):

    Once a surrogate mother is successfully matched and passes all health evaluations, the medical cycle, specifically the IVF portion, begins.

     Embryo Culture: Typically, your sperm and eggs will be combined in vitro and cultured into embryos. If IVF-PGT (third-generation IVF) technology is used for embryo screening, this will add some extra time but ensures the health of the transferred embryos.

     Embryo Transfer: The doctor will transfer healthy embryos into the surrogate mother's uterus. Pregnancy confirmation usually occurs around 10-14 days post-transfer.

3.  Pregnancy Management Phase (approx. 9 months):

    The duration of this stage is relatively fixed: the surrogate mother's entire pregnancy, typically around 9 months.

     Regular Prenatal Check-ups: The surrogate mother will undergo strict and frequent prenatal examinations to monitor the fetus's growth and development and her own health.

     Legal Process Follow-up: During the pregnancy, related legal procedures (such as establishing parentage) will proceed concurrently to ensure the baby can obtain legal status smoothly after birth.

4.  Delivery and Newborn Legal Procedures Phase (approx. 1-3 months):

    After the baby is born, a series of legal procedures are required before you can take your baby home.
