为什么成为代孕母亲
Becoming a surrogate is a profound commitment, and part of that journey includes preparing your body for a pregnancy through medical protocols designed for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). While the pregnancy itself will feel similar to your own, the path to conception involves specific medications and monitoring to ensure the best chance for a healthy outcome.
Medical Overview
Because the pregnancy is not naturally conceived, your body needs hormonal support to prepare the uterine lining and maintain an environment where an embryo can implant and grow. Your exact protocol will be determined by your fertility clinic, but most surrogates can expect:
-
Estrogen – Taken orally or through other methods, estrogen helps build and thicken the uterine lining.
-
Progesterone – Usually administered vaginally or by injection, progesterone prepares the uterus to support the embryo.
-
Lupron (in some protocols) – An injectable that temporarily pauses your natural cycle so it can be synchronized with the embryo transfer.
Medications are typically started in the weeks leading up to embryo transfer and continue until about 8–9 weeks of pregnancy, when your body naturally produces the necessary hormones. During this time, you’ll have regular blood work and ultrasounds to confirm your body’s response.
Physical Side Effects
Physical Side Effects
Most surrogates experience minimal side effects. You may notice mild bloating, cramping, or breast tenderness. If injections are part of your protocol, some temporary soreness at the injection site is normal.
Emotional Considerations
Hormonal changes can bring mood fluctuations similar to premenstrual symptoms—this is a natural part of the process. It’s also normal to feel a mix of anticipation, responsibility, and emotional connection to the journey. At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we provide ongoing emotional support, connecting you with resources, counseling, and a community of experienced surrogates who understand what you’re experiencing.
Injections and Self-Administration
Depending on your protocol, you may need to self-administer injections or have a partner or friend assist you. While this can feel intimidating at first, most surrogates find the process to become routine—and they are proud of the role they play in helping a family grow.
