Surrogacy Statistics:
Could You Get Pregnant Or Help Someone Get Pregnant?

Surrogacy statistics vary from country to country, dependant upon if it is even legalised in your country too.
Surrogacy isn't as popular as procedures like IVF, because alot of women prefer to carry their own baby, if they are able to.

To give you a quick idea of comparisons, there has been over 1 million babies born from the IVF procedure, and to this point (at this time of publication in 2011) around 35,000 babies born from surrogacy.

Surrogacy is on the rise and as technology increases, so does the success rate of surrogacy.
Would you believe that even in todays society with all of the medical advances in technology it's still impossible for some women to carry or give birth to their own child. Hence, the introduction of surrogacy.

There are two types of surrogacy which you can explore. They are:

Traditional Surrogacy - the woman carrying the child uses her egg with the fathers sperm. This is a good option for homosexual eggs who obviously don't have thier own egg, or for women who don't have quality eggs themselves to use.
Gestational Surrogacy - this is the more common form of surrogacy whereby the intended parents egg and sperm is mixed together to become an embryo and impregnated into the the woman who will carry their baby to term.
The success rate of surrogacy depends on many factors such as the age of the mother, the condition of the egg and the sperm.
For couples who for whatever reason can't conceive their own baby naturally, surrogacy has opened so many doors. It has given some couples a dream that could once not be realised.
It's hard to currently track statistics on surrogacy, especially in Australia.
