Fertility Preservation & Diagnosis
For many Indian-origin couples living in the United Kingdom, surrogacy may provide a path to parenthood when pregnancy is medically impossible or poses significant health risks. India permits only altruistic surrogacy under a regulated legal framework, and OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card holders may be eligible to pursue surrogacy in India subject to fulfilling applicable legal and medical requirements.
At Kiran Infertility Center Delhi, we assist OCI card holders from the United Kingdom through every stage of the surrogacy journey, including fertility evaluation, IVF treatment, legal documentation guidance, pregnancy monitoring, and post-birth support.
Altruistic surrogacy is a legally regulated arrangement in which the surrogate mother does not receive commercial compensation. Under Indian law, only approved medical expenses, insurance coverage, and pregnancy-related costs are permitted. Commercial surrogacy is prohibited.
The purpose of altruistic surrogacy is to provide an ethical and medically supervised pathway to parenthood while protecting the interests of the intended parents, surrogate mother, and child.
Current legal guidance indicates that OCI card holders of Indian origin may be eligible for altruistic surrogacy in India if they satisfy the prescribed eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, medical necessity requirements, and regulatory approvals.
Eligibility may depend on:
Because surrogacy regulations continue to evolve, intended parents should obtain updated legal and medical guidance before initiating treatment.
Surrogacy may be recommended for women who are unable to safely carry a pregnancy due to:
Women born without a uterus or those who have undergone hysterectomy may require surrogacy to have a biological child.
Certain congenital or acquired uterine abnormalities can prevent successful implantation or pregnancy.
Repeated miscarriages caused by uterine or medical factors may make surrogacy an appropriate option.
Multiple unsuccessful IVF attempts despite good-quality embryos may indicate the need for alternative reproductive options.
Certain cardiac, renal, autoimmune, or other severe medical conditions may make pregnancy unsafe.
India offers advanced embryology laboratories, fertility diagnostics, embryo freezing, blastocyst culture, and genetic testing technologies.
Patients benefit from multidisciplinary care involving fertility specialists, embryologists, reproductive medicine experts, and obstetricians.
The entire journey—from fertility evaluation and IVF treatment to pregnancy monitoring—can often be coordinated through a single fertility center.
Dedicated coordinators assist with consultations, documentation, travel planning, treatment scheduling, and ongoing communication.
Many UK-based OCI families choose India because of family support networks, cultural familiarity, and access to specialized fertility care.
Some legal guidance references age ranges of approximately:
Eligibility requirements should always be verified under the latest applicable regulations.
The process begins with a virtual consultation where fertility specialists review medical history, fertility concerns, previous treatment records, and eligibility requirements.
Comprehensive fertility testing may include:
All required documentation is reviewed to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Eggs and sperm are used to create embryos through IVF.
Advanced fertility procedures may include:
After legal and medical requirements are fulfilled, embryo transfer is performed according to approved treatment protocols.
The pregnancy is monitored through regular prenatal care, ultrasounds, and specialist consultations.
Following delivery, intended parents receive guidance regarding birth documentation and travel-related procedures.
The intended mother may receive fertility medications to stimulate egg production.
Mature eggs are collected through a minimally invasive procedure performed under sedation.
Eggs are fertilized with sperm in a specialized embryology laboratory.
Embryologists monitor embryo growth and identify embryos with strong developmental potential.
Selected embryos are transferred according to the approved treatment plan.
ICSI may improve fertilization rates in cases of male infertility.
Embryos are cultured for five to six days to improve embryo selection and implantation potential.
Additional embryos may be preserved for future family-building plans.
PGT may help identify chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.
Depending on current regulations and individual circumstances, documentation may include:
Requirements may vary depending on individual circumstances and regulatory updates.
The United Kingdom permits altruistic surrogacy while restricting commercial surrogacy arrangements. Because children born through international surrogacy may involve additional documentation and parentage procedures, intended parents should seek appropriate legal guidance in both India and the UK before beginning the process.
Legal requirements, citizenship procedures, and parental recognition processes may vary depending on individual circumstances and should be reviewed before treatment begins.
The overall timeline depends on:
Many intended parents should prepare for a process that may take several months, and in some cases approximately 12–18 months from consultation to completion.
