Usually, depending on your program and the medical procedures involved, you/ and your partner will need to make a number of tests to prove you can safely start your program. To save time and expense you can do all the necessary tests in your country and send them to us scanned by email (but then bring originals with you to India when you arrive). Once our doctors confirm your test results allow you to start your program, we go to the next step.

If you request an IVF program that will involve yours and your partner's biological material, then you are given a schedule to follow by our Doctors. Usually for the female partner, this means a stimulation protocol to retrieve her eggs for the IVF. Most of the stimulation you can do at home according to the Doctor's guidance and arrive several days before egg retreival. For the male partner, there is no special preparation plan aside from a healthy diet and arrival by the day of retreival.

In the case of an egg donation program, you will be given passwords to browse our database of egg donors to choose the candidate who is a best match for you. Our database only contains candidates who are healthy physically and mentally, and is refreshed regularly.

Once you have decided on the candidates, we book them for you and start preparation. According to the preparation plan we schedule your visit to India to donate eggs/sperm sample. Again, if you are using your own eggs for your surrogacy program, you can prepare yourself in your country and come before puncture. The surrogate mother will be prepared and synchronized with you in India.

Before stimulation begins we sign contracts with you and your donor/surrogate. Once these have been signed and returned, we ask for the first payment to begin stage one. In general your payments are made in stages according to your individual program.

When both the surrogate and patient/egg donor are prepared and their cycles are synchronized, we start the IVF cycle and at this stage the male patient needs to arrive to India to leave his biological material. When the IVF attempt is successful, the next stage payments are made at regular intervals as stipulated by your payment plan.

Intended parents will need to arrive in India for the birth of the baby to take custody and to begin the registration process. We will help you to register the baby and prepare all documents needed by your embassy.

As soon as you confirm the candidate, contracts will be drawn up for you to sign.

New Life India provides you with Indian as well as Caucasian Egg Donor profiles to choose from. If you prefer a Caucasian donor, we will provide you with access to these databases and coordinate the donor's travel to India.

6.Selection of Surrogates: The Surrogate mothers have all met with our strict requirements. They must have had at least one child of their own with a problem free pregnancy and undergo history checks and medical evaluations. Once they have been approved by our Medical team, they can be prepared for the surrogacy cycle. The surrogate is not selected by the Intended Parents, but by the Doctor, according to the most suitable candidate for you. We reserve the right to substitute the surrogate mother, when for example, if we have 10 IVF cases at one time; we prepare 12 surrogate mothers as a backup plan in the event that the surrogate does not respond optimally to the medication. So, if needed, we always have an alternative surrogate to ensure the best chance of a successful outcome.

Details and information on your surrogate are provided to you.

7. Signing the contract: The contract/s will be emailed to you and will need to be printed out, signed on each page, scanned and returned to us.

We also assist our clients with Hotel accommodation and travel guides.

If you require an egg donor, you can choose your egg donor via our database from home, confirm the candidate and in this case you will arrive at the time of IVF for 3 days. It means that your IVF will be done with a fresh sperm sample. Usually we successfully work in both cases as sperm freezing does not affect the IVF success rates.

When Intended Parents have both a donor and surrogate, they can also ship frozen sperm samples. This means that they can sign contracts via emails (PDF versions) and confirm their ED /Surrogate program without travelling to India.

To Sum up:

The Duration of the second visit (to take baby home) depends on which Country you are from and on your Country/Embassy regulations. Usually it does not take more than 6 weeks.

Medical Process

b) You, as a genetic mother can arrive in India on day 2 of your menstrual cycle and undergo the stimulation procedure with our doctors. To begin in India, you will need to stay for 2 weeks. In both cases you will be informed 2-3 weeks in advance when you need to cease birth control pills and thus you will be able to book/plan your trip accordingly.

Note: Pregnancy is confirmed after two weeks from embryo transfer for all programs mentioned above.

Q: What tests are required for the genetic father?

HIV - Human immunodeficiency virus

Baby is measured in several parameters. The four chambers of the heart will be viewed, as well as the kidneys, bladder, stomach, brain, spine (gender will not be revealed). A survey of the organs, including umbilical cord, ensures that they are developing normally. Sonographer looks at amniotic fluid levels, location of the placenta, and fetal heart rate.

Baby Registration / Embassy Issues

In case of a single woman or man, the birth certificate should only have the name of the woman or man desiring the child.

Q: how long does it take to obtain the birth certificate?

It takes one/two days after birth to obtain the birth certificate. As soon as you receive this, you will apply to your Embassy for your baby's passport or travel document .It takes from two to six weeks to receive a baby passport/travel document. If you are USA or UK Citizens, you will additionally be requested to have a DNA test.

When you proceed with surrogacy in India, it is gestational surrogacy, therefore the surrogate has no genetic relation to the baby she bears for you. And, according to Indian laws, she is not considered the legal mother of your baby.

We don't need a surrogate or donor, we want IVF only?

We will just need you to undergo the screening tests prior to starting the cycle. You will need to send us a copy of all the reports. The clinic will then begin the cycle at the earliest. Your maximum stay in New Delhi will be for two weeks.
