Can I Explore Surrogacy Before Choosing an Egg Donor?

Yes. You can begin learning about surrogacy before choosing an egg donor. An initial conversation can help you understand the coordination involved and prepare questions for a fertility clinic.

What Can We Discuss at This Stage?

You can discuss:

• Whether you already have a fertility clinic

• Your questions about donor selection and embryo creation

• Your preferred timeline

• The expenses you would like explained

You do not need to select a donor before asking about the overall process.

Who Helps Assess a Potential Donor?

Your fertility clinic explains its medical screening requirements and reviews the information needed for treatment planning. Independent legal professionals advise on the relevant agreements.

Reviewing a donor profile does not mean the donor has been approved by your clinic.

How Does Donor Selection Affect the Timeline?

Donor availability, screening, treatment scheduling, and embryo development can affect the overall plan.

Ask your clinic and coordination team which preparations can happen together and which decisions should wait.

How Should We Plan the Costs?

Request a separate breakdown for donor-related services and embryo creation. Confirm what is included, what is billed separately, and which expenses could change.

Westwood can help coordinate these questions with the professionals involved.
