As more and more people turn to the help of surrogate mothers, understanding of the process in society is growing. However, social networks, the media and other sources of information do not always disseminate correct information and often give a wrong assessment of what is happening. Because of this, there are many misconceptions and myths about what this method of ART entails, both for intended parents and surrogates.

We see how many people around the world need reliable reproductive technologies, how many are looking for reliable information, but find contradictory. Therefore, Feskov HRG is expanding the geography of its presence: following the opening of a representative office in London, we are opening a representative office in Brussels!

Now Feskov Human Reproduction Group in London, UK. And it is official. In October 2020, we opened an official representative office, which is already actively working with English couples to achieve a common goal - to have a healthy child in a family that has lost hope.

Ireland is a country friendly to assisted reproductive technology and oocyte donation in particular. The cost of egg donation in Ireland does not imply financial remuneration to the donor, but guarantees compensation for reasonable expenses and lost earnings. Donation in the country is not anonymous, but future parents are not given the opportunity to make personal acquaintance with a woman who donated oocytes. Couple can only hope that their donor has the maximum phenotypic resemblance to the future mother.

Many childless couples - clients of the Feskov Human Reproduction Group - before contacting our clinic, collected information about the cost of egg donation in Germany. This country with its more than 100 reproductive centers has been successfully helping couples overcome the most difficult cases of infertility for many years. But this is achieved exclusively by correcting endocrine factors and improving IVF methods and egg cell cultivation. The reason is prosaic: egg donation in Germany, together with surrogacy, is prohibited by law. 

For couples having difficulties with childbearing, finding an egg donor in Europe is often very problematic. In a number of countries (Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands), donor anonymity is excluded, since according to the law, parents must provide full information about the donor at the first request of their child who has reached the age of 18 years. In Austria, Germany, Switzerland, egg donation is prohibited.

Starting a family is a really exciting time. However, if pregnancy doesn't occur immediately, many couples can become anxious and frustrated. People decide to see a doctor for help with fertility treatment. In most cases, the brunt of the stress falls on the woman. It sounds unfair, but that's human biology. How can you support your partner on this difficult way so that the relationship will become even stronger after the test? Below are some thoughts on the matter.

It happens that intended parents who are considering  surrogacy as the last way to create a family  worry about social labels associated with this innovative concept. Instead of focusing their energies on finding a serious surrogate agency or clinic, they worry that friends and family will not support this decision. Fortunately, this method of reproduction has become more common in recent years. For this, we should thank medical innovations, as well as the fact that many famous people calmly use services of surrogate mothers.

Surrogacy journey is not an easy, but amazing way, both for the surrogate mother and for the married couple. Although the vocabulary and terminology associated with it can sometimes be confusing.
