Surrogacy
Gestational Carrier Program in Mumbai
Compassionate surrogacy program where a gestational carrier helps bring your baby into the world when you cannot carry a pregnancy. Our Mumbai clinic facilitates secure and ethical surrogacy arrangements.
Success rates depend on the IVF cycle and gestational carrier's health, typically ranging from 50-60% per transfer.
The entire process, from finding a carrier to birth, can take 18-24 months.
The gestational carrier undergoes recovery similar to any pregnant individual. Intended parents have no physical recovery.
Understanding the Treatment
For individuals and couples who are unable to carry a pregnancy due to medical reasons, uterine abnormalities, or other factors, our Surrogacy program offers a path to parenthood. Dr. Vrushni Bhuta's clinic in Powai and Santacruz provides comprehensive support for intended parents throughout the surrogacy journey.
We partner with ethical and reputable surrogacy agencies to ensure that gestational carriers are carefully screened, healthy, and fully understand the process. Our focus is on creating a secure, legally sound, and emotionally supportive environment for all parties involved.
We facilitate the entire IVF process with the gestational carrier, ensuring adherence to all legal and medical guidelines in India.
