An embryo will be generated in a fertility clinic lab via IVF, and a fertility clinic doctor will then transfer it to the surrogate’s uterus.
However, for the surrogate, this pregnancy will be completely different from her previous pregnancies in several ways. This time around she’ll be needed to take a carefully timed series of medications to prepare for the embryo transfer, be monitored more closely than she would be during a ‘traditional’ pregnancy, and more.
