There is no waiting period for choosing a surrogate since we constantly replenish the pool of qualified fertility helpers from which you can choose. However, before any fertility treatments are started, you must select a surrogate, negotiate and execute an agreement with her, and complete medical testing. This will take an average of 3-4 months. The fertility treatments themselves will take another 2 months. Depending on the success of the fertility treatments, you may achieve a pregnancy within 6-9 months. If multiple attempts and/or surrogates are required, it could take much longer.
