Mexico Surrogacy: What Men Should Know Beforehand

For many intended parents, the surrogacy journey often focuses on the surrogate's health and the female partner’s fertility preparation. However, the male partner, as the prospective father, plays a crucial role. Before starting Mexico surrogacy, men need to make several preparations. This isn't just about ensuring embryo quality but also about the smooth establishment of the entire family. So, what are the key considerations for a prospective father before surrogacy?

1.  Physiological Health and Sperm Quality:

    Sperm quality is the foundation of successful surrogacy. Before surrogacy, prospective fathers should undergo a thorough health check, especially a semen analysis, to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology. If sperm quality isn't ideal, a doctor can be consulted for targeted improvements. Enhancing sperm quality can start with lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking and alcohol, eating a balanced diet, exercising moderately, and avoiding exposure to high temperatures.

2.  In-depth Understanding of Legal and Financial Aspects:

    Mexico's surrogacy legal framework provides clear protection for intended parents. As a prospective father, it's essential to deeply understand the legal clauses in the surrogacy agreement. This includes confirming parentage, the surrogate's rights and obligations, financial compensation plans, and handling potential emergencies.

3.  Psychological and Emotional Preparation:

    The surrogacy journey is not just a medical procedure; it's a profound emotional journey. As a prospective father, you need to be fully prepared psychologically. This involves understanding and accepting surrogacy as a path to parenthood, building a stronger emotional connection with your partner, and facing the uncertainties and challenges together.

4.  Active Participation and Partner Support:

    In every step of surrogacy, from selecting the surrogate to finalizing the medical plan, the male partner should actively participate in decision-making. This shows responsibility and support for your partner. This is especially important when egg donation is needed, as the male partner must have a deep discussion with their partner to make a joint decision.

5.  Understanding Medical Technology and Procedures:

    Understanding the medical technologies related to surrogacy, such as IVF and IVF-PGT (third-generation IVF), can help the prospective father better grasp the entire process and ask more specific questions when consulting with doctors. This knowledge can make the prospective father feel more at ease during surrogacy and better support their partner.
