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. Thousands of couples have walked this path before you, moving from the frustration of failed treatments to the joy of holding their healthy babies.
Learn More About Surrogacy for Adenomyosis
Maybe you're wondering "why can't I get pregnant with adenomyosis?" or you're exhausted from another failed IVF cycle. Those feelings make complete sense—this path tests every ounce of strength you have. 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.
Why Adenomyosis Prevents Pregnancy and Causes IVF Failure
Adenomyosis makes the tissue that should line your uterus grow into the muscle walls instead. Your uterus becomes enlarged and irregular, creating an environment where embryos simply can't take hold and grow. Think of it like trying to plant a garden in soil that's been disrupted. Even the healthiest seeds struggle to root properly.
Why IVF Fails with Adenomyosis: Understanding Poor Success Rates
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
Does adenomyosis affect IVF success? Yes, significantly, and the statistics can feel overwhelming. But statistics alone don't tell the complete story: surrogacy after failed IVF success rates for couples with adenomyosis are significantly higher because you're no longer fighting against your medical condition.
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. With adenomyosis, surrogacy often offers better chances than continuing with additional IVF attempts using your own uterus.
The Surrogacy Process for Adenomyosis Patients: Step-by-Step Guide
Surrogacy is an enormous undertaking, but the truth is when you work with an agency we can handle most of the logistics and paperwork for you, freeing up your time to focus on preparing to meet your child. Here’s a break down of what your next few months will look like:
Step 1. Initial Consultation
We learn your story—past treatments, embryo status, and hopes for pregnancy—to create a plan tailored to your situation.
Step 2. Embryo Planning
If you have frozen embryos, we can often use them. If not, we coordinate with your reproductive endocrinologist to create new ones.
Step 3. Surrogate Matching
You’re introduced to pre-screened surrogates whose health, personality, and values align with yours, ensuring the best fit for your journey.
Step 4. Legal Agreements
Attorneys establish clear contracts covering medical decisions, finances, and communication, so everyone feels secure moving forward.
Step 5. Embryo Transfer & Pregnancy
Your embryos are transferred to the surrogate. From there, you stay as involved as you wish throughout pregnancy—attending appointments or focusing on key milestones—until you welcome your baby.
How Long Does Surrogate Matching Take for Adenomyosis Cases?
Something that might surprise you: most of our couples match with a surrogate in 1 - 4 months, not the year-plus wait you might have heard about elsewhere. 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
What happens when you meet a potential surrogate? Most couples describe it as surprisingly natural. It feels less like a job interview and more like meeting someone who genuinely wants to help your family grow.
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.
Our partnership with Sunfish has been a game-changer for many families. These fertility-specific loans are 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.
