Current Match Time:
Your dream of having a baby doesn't have to end because of adenomyosis.
When your uterus can't safely carry a pregnancy, gestational surrogacy lets you create that biological connection you've been longing for.
Learn More About Surrogacy for Adenomyosis
We want you to know there's a way forward that works, and you don't have to navigate it alone. If you're questioning what to do when IVF keeps failing, surrogacy can be the answer you've been searching for.
Adenomyosis and IVF Failure: What Comes Next?
Adenomyosis can result in IVF failure, even when everything else looks perfect on paper.
With this condition, the tissue that should line your uterus grow into the muscle walls instead, creating an environment where embryos simply can't implant.
Think of it like trying to plant a garden in soil that's been disrupted. Even the healthiest seeds struggle to root properly.
Adenomyosis affects your ability to conceive and maintain pregnancy in several interconnected ways:
-
Implantation interference - The irregular uterine lining prevents embryos from attaching properly
-
Altered blood flow - Disrupted circulation affects the nutrients and oxygen reaching potential implantation sites
-
Inflammatory environment - Chronic inflammation creates hostile conditions for embryo development
-
Structural changes - The enlarged, misshapen uterus physically impedes normal pregnancy development
-
Hormonal disruption - The condition can interfere with the delicate hormone balance needed for conception
That's why you might have perfect embryos from IVF, yet still face disappointment cycle after cycle. Your eggs work fine. Your partner's sperm functions normally.
The challenge lies in creating the right conditions for your baby to grow, often complicated by implantation problems that adenomyosis creates.
Surrogacy sidesteps this biological roadblock entirely. Your embryos transfer to a healthy uterus while maintaining full genetic connection. You stay involved throughout pregnancy and bring your baby home
When to Consider Surrogacy for Adenomyosis After Failed IVF
The timing feels different for everyone, but there are some clear signals that surrogacy might be your best next step.
Medically speaking, if adenomyosis has caused two or three failed IVF cycles, continuing down the same path often means more heartbreak with diminishing returns.
Most reproductive specialists start the surrogacy conversation when imaging shows significant uterine changes or when pregnancy would pose health risks. But beyond the medical markers, there's an emotional readiness that matters just as much.
Signs You're Ready to Move from IVF to Surrogacy
A mental shift often signals readiness for surrogacy: moving from "I need to be pregnant" to "I need to bring home my baby."
This perspective change represents growth from focusing solely on achieving pregnancy to prioritizing the ultimate goal of becoming parents.
Consider whether you're experiencing these common readiness indicators:
-
Mental energy shift - Spending more time researching alternatives than repeating failed treatments
-
Financial perspective change - Viewing costs as investment in success rather than repeated gambling
-
Support system evolution - Friends and family encouraging you to explore other options
-
Medical team guidance - Doctors suggesting surrogacy as a viable next step
-
Emotional bandwidth - Feeling ready to partner with someone else in building your family
The decision becomes clearer when you understand that surrogacy isn't about giving up on your biological child. Instead, you're choosing a path that actually improves your odds of holding that baby you've been working so hard to meet.
The Surrogacy Process for Adenomyosis Patients: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Your Personalized Consultation
When you first contact us, we spend time understanding your story. What treatments have you tried? How many embryos do you have frozen?
These conversations help us create a plan that fits your specific situation—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If you have frozen embryos from previous IVF cycles, we can often use those—your earlier treatments weren’t for nothing.
If you need to create new embryos, we’ll coordinate with your reproductive endocrinologist to make the transition as streamlined and supportive as possible.
Step 2: Surrogate Matching
The matching phase might feel daunting at first, but most couples tell us it felt surprisingly natural once they started meeting potential surrogates.
We’re looking for someone whose medical history, personality, and values align with yours. Think of it as finding a surrogate who becomes the right partner for this important chapter of your family’s story.
Step 3: Legal Protections and Agreement
Legal agreements protect everyone involved—covering medical decisions, communication boundaries, and financial responsibilities.
While the paperwork isn’t the most exciting part of the process, having everything clearly outlined allows you to focus on the more meaningful moments ahead.
Many couples find it helpful to review common legal questions before starting this phase to feel more prepared and confident.
Step 4: Embryo Transfer Process
You’ll work closely with your reproductive endocrinologist and the surrogate’s medical team during this stage. Transfer day often feels like a celebration—finally, your embryo is going to a place where it can thrive.
Many couples describe this step as a moment of renewed hope. Understanding embryo transfer success rates can help set realistic expectations and prepare you emotionally for what comes next.
Step 5: Pregnancy and Birth
Throughout the pregnancy, involvement looks different for every intended parent. Some attend every appointment, while others choose to be present for key milestones like heartbeat checks or ultrasounds.
Regardless of your level of day-to-day involvement, we’re here to make sure you feel connected, supported, and informed every step of the way—right up to the day your baby is born.
How Long Does Surrogate Matching Take for Adenomyosis Cases?
Most of our couples match with a surrogate in an average of 1 - 4 months.
How do we make matching happen so quickly? We've built relationships with surrogates before you even need them.
Every surrogate in our network has already completed comprehensive screening—medical evaluations, psychological assessments, background checks, and interviews.
By the time you're ready to match, we're introducing you to women who are cleared and eager to start immediately.
Surrogate Screening Criteria for Adenomyosis Intended Parents
For couples dealing with adenomyosis, we pay special attention to selecting surrogates with excellent uterine health and successful pregnancy histories.
After everything you've been through with uterine-related challenges, you deserve confidence that your surrogate can provide the healthy environment your baby needs to grow.
The matching approach considers multiple compatibility factors:
-
Medical history - Proven fertility and healthy pregnancies without uterine complications
-
Communication style - Whether you prefer frequent updates or weekly check-ins
-
Geographic location - Proximity for appointments and relationship building
-
Personal values - Shared perspectives on pregnancy, medical decisions, and family
-
Lifestyle compatibility - Activity levels, dietary preferences, and health habits
Our role is facilitating these connections and supporting both sides through the decision-making process.
If you have questions about how screening works, we're here to provide transparency throughout the entire process.
Surrogacy Costs and Financing Options for Medical Infertility
Surrogacy costs $100,000 - $200,000+. While overwhelming after fertility expenses, most couples successfully find financing solutions.
Through our partnership with Sunfish, you can recieve fertility-specific loans designed around the surrogacy timeline, with competitive rates and approval amounts up to $200,000.
The application process is straightforward, and many families get approved quickly.
In addition to Sunfish, many intended parents use a combination of other funding options to make surrogacy more affordable:
-
Fertility Grants – Numerous organizations offer grants specifically for families facing medical infertility, such as adenomyosis. These grants often prioritize medical necessity, making many applicants with adenomyosis strong candidates.
-
HSA and FSA Accounts – Because adenomyosis often qualifies as a medically necessary condition, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) can typically be used to cover eligible surrogacy-related medical costs.
-
Personal Loans – Traditional loans from banks, credit unions, or online lenders can help cover out-of-pocket surrogacy expenses. These are often used in combination with other funding sources.
-
401(k) Withdrawals or Loans – Some families choose to tap into their retirement savings. While this option can provide quick access to funds, it’s important to consult a financial advisor to understand tax and long-term implications.
-
Personal Savings – Many couples use their own savings to reduce reliance on credit or loans, often combining it with other sources for a well-rounded plan.
During your consultation, we provide a detailed cost breakdown so you understand exactly what's included.
The goal isn't just finding the money—it’s building a financial plan that feels manageable and empowering for your family.
