Hear from Other Surrogates’ experiences
A gestational Surrogate is a woman who becomes pregnant using an embryo created by the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Pregnancy may be achieved using the mother’s eggs and the father’s sperm. Donor eggs or donor sperm can also be used. There will be no genetic relation to the Surrogate.
Yes. If you do not have health insurance, a Surrogate-specific medical plan may be purchased for you by the intended parents for the duration of your pregnancy. Bills are handled through cash-pay by our medical billing department.
Yes. We believe single mothers are just as capable of being Surrogates as a woman who is married. If you are single, it is very important that you have some type of support system in place prior to committing to any Surrogate program.
Our surrogate mothers need to live a healthy lifestyle and take care of the life that is growing inside of them. During this process, we ask you to stay in regular communication with us and inform us of any appointments or pregnancy-related questions.
If you are uncertain about the laws in your state regarding surrogacy, please call our office to speak with an expert.
No, you will NOT be biologically related to the baby that you are carrying for the Intended Parents. As a Gestational Surrogate, your eggs will NOT be used. It will be the eggs of either the Intended Mother or the Egg Donor that is being used.
Your name and your husband/spouse’s name will NOT be on the birth certificate. The Intended Parents will be the ones who will have full parental rights to the baby and it will be their names that appears on the birth certificate.
The amount of contact varies case by case. Contact is determined by the Surrogate Mother and the Intended Parent(s)’ preferences identified during the match. Some cultures are a little more closed off than others; however, the relationship and communication develops as the journey progresses.
A normal pregnancy and a surrogate pregnancy are very similar. There are no additional risks with a surrogate pregnancy. Please consult with your OB if you have questions.
Yes you can! The fallopian tubes are not used, instead, the embryo(s) are placed directly into the Surrogate’s uterus during the embryo transfer phase.
Injections are required in order to prepare your uterus for the embryo transfer. Our medical team will provide a calendar with a clear timetable and dosages. Typically, injections are required through the first trimester. Our support team is always here to answer any questions you may have.
Yes, provided your OB accepts the health insurance plan being utilized for the pregnancy. Many surrogates return to the physician that delivered their own children.
Being overweight does not necessarily disqualify you from being a surrogate. The IVF physician that performs your medical evaluation will make this determination. If you are considered to be obese, you may not qualify. If this is a concern for you, please call our office and speak with a representative.
After the first trimester, you will be released to your own local OB. They will oversee your medical care for the remainder of your pregnancy. If you need a new OB, we can provide a list of recommendations. You will be able to deliver at the hospital of your choice.
You can help other families become whole while financially helping yours. Fill out the 5 minutes application to see if you qualify as a gestational Surrogate.

Testosterone causes significant changes in the body. These can include stopping menstrual cycles and egg production. If you have already begun a hormonal transition, you need to stop testosterone to allow the eggs in your ovaries to develop again. The return of normal menstrual cycles suggests that the ovaries have resumed their normal ovulatory function. While it is possible to restore fertility after stopping testosterone intake, there isn’t a 100% guarantee. Transgender men who still have a womb can carry a pregnancy to term but will need to go off testosterone because it can inhibit the growth of a developing baby.
“I have a whole new appreciation to give to surrogates and surrogacy san diego as a whole because of this agency. I gave birth to twins Nov 9, 2015 because of this agency and couldn’t be more thrilled with them all! The staff is wonderful, patient, caring, and they’re there to help every step of the way. They make sure you get everything you deserve and have all of the support you could ever want or need. The support group meetings are always fun and filled with food and I was so happy with this agency and I know if anyone looking for a potential agency looks into Physician’s Surrogacy which is the partner surrogacy agency of RSMC, they won’t be let down!! Thank you, RSMC for everything you did to help me complete a family.”
“In my quest to fulfill my dream of helping a family though surrogacy I researched several agencies in the California area, I found so many great reviews on Physician’s Surrogacy which is the partner surrogacy agency of RSMC. I called and the staff was quick to answer all my questions. They certainly helped put my mind at ease and was the first agency (I called several) that I spoke with where I finally sensed “this is where I belong.” I immediately felt like they cared for my best interested and walked me through every step pf the matching process, no question of mine was ever too big or too small. Within just a couple of months of my profile being listed I had a conference call with a potential set of intended parents. A short time later, it was a match! It just took one phone call and I knew that all my wishes in what I was looking for in a set of intended parents had been listened to and met. Not long after, I had to travel for my initial medical clearance, surrogacy agency made all my travel arrangements and were in constant contact with me. Not quite
a year after my matching process and I am quickly nearing delivery of my first surrogate baby. The entire staff at the surrogacy agency has helped make this the most positive, joyful experience I could’ve ever imagined. If I ever need anything, my coordinator is quick to get on it and be sure it’s taken care of. I have gotten phone calls and texts from the staff congratulating me on important milestones (heartbeat confirmation, 20-week ultrasound, first, second and third trimester, etc.) surrogacy agency has always made me feel like family, I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience!”
“Physician’s Surrogacy is an amazing agency. As a first-time surrogate, I knew that helping someone have a family was something I wanted to do, however, I had no idea how life changing this would be. I was matched with a wonderful couple — it could not have been any better of a match. For this couple, I carried twins, a boy, and a girl. Throughout my pregnancy, I felt supported, cared for, and appreciated by my IPs and everyone at the surrogacy agency. When I look back on my experience, I realize that I have given a couple a beautiful family, gained a good friend (Mom), and developed a new level of closeness with my husband. I am changed forever in a beautiful way!”
“Successful journey! So happy I was able to deliver this healthy baby boy for his family. I completed my first surrogate journey & the process went smoothly & my case manager Erika was always there when I needed her! If you’re looking for a surrogate agency, I would highly suggest Physician’s Surrogacy which is the partner surrogacy agency of RSMC. I have had no issues and I am so thankful for the medical team & the staff that helped me & the intended parents.”
Surrogate and Intended Parents are matched based on detailed criteria. A comprehensive legal contract is signed with clear legal guidelines for each party
You will travel to our San Diego location with all necessary expenses covered. One of our skilled physicians will retrieve the eggs vaginally through a minimally invasive procedure.
You’ll find your perfect match through our extensive donor database. Whether you are looking for a donor with high IQ, specific aesthetics, gifts or talents, our matching program assures you select the characteristics most important to you.
Your journey to parenthood will be shorter and more predictable because of our Egg Bank. Quality donor eggs are frozen through vitrification and stored in our on-site laboratory. Electing to use bank to eggs puts you in control of your timeline, since they are available for immediate use. Additionally, selecting donors from our bank eliminates waiting time and unforeseen setbacks. You will maximize success rates due to a guaranteed yield of high quality, mature eggs.
If your partner is another trans man, your frozen eggs can be inseminated with the donor’s sperm to produce embryos. The resulting embryo can then be transferred into a Surrogate who will help you carry the pregnancy
The day after hatching, the embryo is transferred to the uterus where it will hopefully implant and result in a successful pregnancy.
The embryo is held with a specialized holding pipette. A very delicate, hollow needle is used to expel the acidic solution against the outer “shell” (zona pellucida) of the embryo. The acidic solution creates a small hole in the shell.
A transvaginal ultrasound aspiration is used to retrieve eggs from the ovaries. The procedure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical and always conducted under sedation. The procedure itself lasts 10-20 minutes.
Hormone injections are administered for 10-14 days in order to stimulate the ovaries, so you release more eggs. Normally our bodies release just one egg each month but with cryopreservation the goal is to retrieve as many healthy eggs as possible.
The consultation will be dedicated to enhancing your understanding and setting realistic goals. Your fertility doctor will perform a physical exam and initial fertility tests. After the tests have been evaluated, our expert medical team will move forward with creating a personalized plan.
Upon your arrival, you will check in with a Patient Care Coordinator.
Congratulations! You meet the prequalification criteria.
