In India, especially in Mumbai, gestational surrogacy is helping many couples have children, which may not have been possible in the past.
At Rotunda, we have tripled our gestational surrogacy cycles in 2008, in conjunction with achieving exceptionally high success rates. Our success rates with fresh surrogacy cycles average around 50% per embryo transfer, and are as high as 70% per embryo transfer in cases where eggs from our young healthy donors are used.

We understand that when a couple fails to achieve a pregnancy with surrogacy, the situation can be quite overwhelming due to the high expectation of success and the substantial drain on financial resources. Our team is always cognizant of these realities and every attempt is made to work with couples in the event of failure to help them realize their goal of building families.
Since there are potentially significant legal, financial, ethical, and psychological issues with surrogacy, couples should work with centers that have experience in selecting surrogate mothers and provide the infrastructure to deal with these issues.

Congratulations!
It is great to hear things like this.
Is it possible to do a break down of your numbers? I would love to know how how many of the pregnancies resulted from donor eggs and which were from the Intended Mothers eggs.
From reading your blog it is clear that Rotunda is always looking to improve the ART procedures in order to find greater success. Keep up the great work..
Dear Rick,
Thank you for your kind words. In this group, we had 36.8% clinical pregnancy rate when the intended mother’s eggs were used. We will be posting a detailed break up of these results in a couple of days.
We look forward to seeing you in Mumbai!
Regards, Goral
