    Study Notes

    Psychological Evaluation

    • Evaluates mental and emotional readiness of intended parents for the surrogacy process.
    • Identifies psychological challenges potentially impacting the surrogacy journey.
    • Ensures parents are equipped to handle emotional complexities.

    Medical Screening

    • Involves sperm tests for males and ovarian reserve check-ups for females.
    • Assesses reproductive health to guide the surrogacy process effectively.
    • Identifies health issues that may affect the surrogate or child's well-being.

    Infectious Disease Testing

    • Screens for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and other infections.
    • Aims to prevent communicable disease transmission during surrogacy.
    • Protects the health of the surrogate and child while ensuring legal compliance.

    Genetic Testing

    • Includes Carrier Genetic Testing (CGT) and karyotype analysis.
    • Evaluates genetic compatibility and risks for intended parents.
    • Aims to prevent genetic disorders and supports informed decision-making.
    • Confirms legal status and eligibility of intended parents for surrogacy.
    • Protects rights and interests of all participants in the surrogacy arrangement.
    • Ensures compliance with legal regulations governing surrogacy.

    Sperm Lab Analysis

    • Evaluates sperm concentration, motility, morphology, and DNA fragmentation.
    • Helps identify potential fertility problems based on structured sperm analysis.
    • Normal sperm parameters include pH 7.2-8.0, volume 1.5-7.6 ml, and motility 40-81%.

    DNA Fragmentation

    • Refers to changes or breaks in sperm DNA, impacting fertility and embryo development.
    • High DNA fragmentation correlates with poor implantation and increased miscarriage rates.

    Karyotype Analysis

    • Provides a visual representation of an individual’s chromosomes.
    • Identifies chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders.
    • Normal karyotypes for males and females are noted as 46XY and 46XX, respectively.

    Carrier Genetic Testing (CGT)

    • Determines risk of genetic diseases in offspring by identifying recessive gene carriers.
    • Utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for a comprehensive panel analysis.
    • Essential for ensuring compatibility between intended parents and egg donors.
    • Essential (24 genes), Plus (579 genes), and Exome (2200 genes) with varying prices.
    • Plus or Exome programs highly recommended for thorough lifetime genetic reports.

    Testing Process and Responsibilities

    • Organize sample collection with an Igenomix representative and send a saliva kit.
    • Return sample to the lab, with results typically available in 35-45 days.
    • Results influence additional testing for selected egg donors if required.

    Documentation and Communication

    • Coordinators manage collection and storage of all required tests and documents.
    • Clear communication channels must be established, including WhatsApp for assistance and documentation sharing.
    • Patients have the right to decline tests, but must document their decision formally.
