The process can vary quite a bit from case to case, but a general breakdown of the estimated average timeline is below:
- Pre-Screening: 1-2 months
- Matching: 1-2 months
- Medical/Psychological Screening: 1-2 months
- Legal: 1-3 months
- Embryo Transfer Cycle: 1 month (depending on cycle start date)
- Pregnancy: 9 months
In total, the entire surrogacy process takes around 16 months from intake through delivery.
