For many intended parents, surrogacy represents the hope they have for their future as they take a step towards building a family. While surrogacy is a great option to help intended parents welcome a child into the world, the reality is that miscarriages can still happen. Miscarriages can occur even if a surrogate meets all the legal requirements, has had no prior history of miscarrying, and is an overall healthy person. While a miscarriage is devastating for the intended parents and surrogate mother, it is important to know what happens after and what options are available to move forward after your loss.
Elevate Baby is a surrogacy agency that helps surrogate mothers and intended parents throughout their surrogacy journey. Through the good and bad times, our team of surrogacy experts is here to support and help you. After a surrogate miscarries, you may be feeling intense grief and defeat. However, your journey to building a family does not have to end with a miscarriage and, once you feel ready, there are options available to you if you decide to move forward with your journey.
What Options Do Intended Parents Have After a Surrogate Miscarries?
Unfortunately, the tragedy of miscarriages does not discriminate and can affect any woman, whether they are a biological or surrogate mother. Despite all of the medical screening that surrogates go through to ensure that their bodies are equipped to sustain a healthy pregnancy, a miscarriage may still occur for a multitude of reasons.
Miscarriages in surrogacy can have deep emotional effects on both the intended parents and the surrogate mother. While the intended parents are grieving the loss of their baby, the surrogate mother has to deal with the physical and emotional symptoms of a miscarriage. Even though it may be easy to lose hope in the wake of this difficult time, you still have options for how to proceed if you would like. Once the surrogate mother has been treated for the miscarriage by a doctor and you have all taken time to properly grieve, there are options available to you:
- Most commonly, the intended parents and surrogate mother will transfer another embryo to begin the surrogacy process again. The time between miscarriage and a subsequent transfer is rather fast. In most cases transfer meds are begun immediately following the surrogate’s next menstrual cycle.
- If medically advised, the intended parents can be rematched and try the surrogacy journey with a new gestational carrier.
