Surrogacy for Those Who Have Faced Failed Fertility Treatments
July 2025

When fertility treatments don’t work, the path to having a child can seem more distant than ever. However, reproductive science offers real alternatives for those who have gone through this process without success. One of them is surrogacy, an option that has allowed many people to build the family they’ve longed for—even after multiple failed attempts.
This article is for you, who have tried everything and still haven’t lost hope. Here, we explain how surrogacy works, when it’s recommended, and why it might be the alternative that finally brings you closer to your baby.
When you’ve tried everything… and nothing has worked
Receiving a “negative” result over and over, after so many attempts, treatments, medical visits, and tests, can feel like an invisible loss. Those who have undergone multiple unsuccessful fertility treatments know that it’s not just physical exhaustion—it’s also emotional, financial, and mental.
But what many people don’t know is that surrogacy can be a real, ethical, and safe alternative for those who have already gone through several failed assisted reproduction cycles and still want to have a child with their own genetic material—or with the help of a donor.
What is surrogacy and when is it recommended?
Understanding surrogacy
Surrogacy is a process in which a woman (the surrogate) carries a pregnancy in her womb but does not contribute her genetic material, since the embryo is previously created through assisted reproductive techniques using the gametes of the intended parents or donors.
This means that the surrogate is not the baby’s biological mother, but rather a person who voluntarily, ethically, and legally helps another family come into being.
Cases in which it is usually necessary
Although surrogacy can benefit many people, it is especially considered in the following cases:
- Absence of a uterus or uterine malformations.
- Serious health risks in case of pregnancy.
- Recurrent miscarriages without a clear cause.
- Repeated failures in fertility treatments (such as IVF or artificial insemination).
- Medical conditions like severe endometriosis or gynecological cancer.
- Single individuals or same-sex couples who cannot carry a pregnancy.
For those who have already undergone multiple unsuccessful treatments, surrogacy is not a last resort—it is a real new opportunity to build a family.
Why choose surrogacy after failed treatments?
Because your desire to become a parent is still alive
After several failed treatments, many people experience exhaustion, doubt, and even guilt. However, the desire to have a child remains. Surrogacy offers a different but equally valid path to achieving that goal. And best of all: in many cases, you can do it using your own embryos.
Because you can use embryos that already exist
If you’ve undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, it’s likely that you have frozen embryos. Surrogacy allows you to transfer one of these embryos into the uterus of a surrogate, eliminating uterine factors that may have prevented a previous pregnancy.
Because you already understand the medical process
Those who have been through assisted reproductive treatments have a deep understanding of the process. This makes the path to surrogacy clearer and, in many cases, easier—especially with the kind of professional support we offer at Surrogate Mexico.
Because you don’t have to do it alone
At Surrogate Mexico, we support you every step of the way, backed by a team of medical specialists, lawyers, and psychologists. From the initial evaluation to the birth of your child, you won’t be alone in this important decision.
What if you can’t use your own eggs or sperm?
Donation is also a loving and legitimate possibility
In some cases, after several failed treatments, the issue is not the uterus but the quality of the eggs or sperm. If your own gametes are no longer viable, it is possible to turn to:
- Egg donation: from young, healthy women who have been previously evaluated.
- Sperm donation: ideal when there are severe issues with sperm quality.
- Embryo donation: when both egg and sperm donation are needed.
What matters most is understanding that, with or without genetic connection, what defines parenthood is love, commitment, and the conscious choice to raise a child and guide them through life.
How does the process work if you’ve already gone through several treatments?
Personalized evaluation
Everything begins with a medical and emotional evaluation. We review your medical history, the existence of viable embryos, your current physical condition, and your expectations. Based on this, we create a personalized plan for you.
Surrogate selection
The surrogate is carefully selected. She must be a healthy woman with children of her own and a stable environment. She also undergoes medical, psychological, and social screening before being approved.
Legal contract and financial protection
Before the pregnancy begins, a legal contract is signed between you and the surrogate, within a secure legal framework in states such as Tabasco or Sinaloa. Additionally, an escrow account is set up to ensure that all funds are used exclusively for the process and the surrogate’s care.
Embryo transfer and pregnancy
Once the surrogate is ready, the embryo is transferred. If successful, the pregnancy begins and is closely monitored by specialists. You decide how involved you wish to be—even if you live abroad.
The birth and the beginning of a new chapter
When the time comes, the birth takes place in a certified hospital with all necessary protocols. Upon birth, the baby is delivered directly to the intended parents. A birth certificate is issued with your names, bringing closure to a process full of emotion, decisions, and hope.
Why choose Mexico for a surrogacy process?
Mexico is currently one of the safest and most accessible countries for carrying out this process. In states where surrogacy is permitted, such as Tabasco and Sinaloa, there are solid legal frameworks that allow intended parents to be recognized as legal parents from birth.
Additionally:
- Costs are significantly more affordable than in other countries.
- There are high-level fertility clinics, such as Ingenes.
- You can rely on a human, empathetic, and experienced team like the one at Surrogate Mexico.
