Creating Families Through Compassionate Surrogacy Programs and Advanced Fertility Care
Surrogacy is an assisted reproduction option for intended parents who cannot safely carry a pregnancy. It combines fertility treatment, legal guidance, and personalized care to help individuals and couples pursue parenthood. Many international patients choose Greece for its experienced fertility teams and patient-centered approach.
At Ovagenesis in Athens, intended parents receive fertility evaluation, individualized treatment planning, embryo transfer coordination, and ongoing support throughout the surrogacy journey. The clinic provides personalized care tailored to each patient’s medical history and family goals.
Surrogacy may help women with medical conditions that prevent pregnancy, patients with uterine factor infertility, recurrent implantation failure, and other complex fertility challenges. Ovagenesis supports patients through every stage of the process with expert, evidence-based care. Due to changes in Greek legislation introduced in 2025, surrogacy in Greece is currently available only to intended parents who are legal residents of Greece.
🔍 What Is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a fertility treatment in which a woman carries a pregnancy for intended parent(s). It typically involves IVF, where embryos created from the intended parents’ or donors’ eggs and sperm are transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. The process begins with fertility evaluations and consultations to review medical history, reproductive health, and family-building goals. Based on these assessments, specialists develop a personalized treatment plan.
Embryos are created through IVF using intended parents’ gametes when possible, or donor eggs, sperm, or embryos when needed. Throughout the journey, intended parents receive ongoing monitoring, coordination, and support to help achieve a healthy pregnancy and successful family building.
🩺 Types of Surrogacy
- Gestational Surrogacy – An embryo created through IVF is transferred to the surrogate, who carries the pregnancy for the intended parent(s).
- IVF with Own Eggs and Sperm – Embryos are created using the intended parents’ own reproductive cells whenever medically appropriate.
- IVF with Donor Eggs – Donor eggs may be used when egg quality or ovarian reserve affects fertility potential.
- IVF with Donor Sperm – Donor sperm may be incorporated when male-factor fertility challenges exist.
- IVF with Donor Embryos – Donated embryos may provide an alternative family-building pathway in selected cases.
- Surrogacy with Genetic Testing – Embryos may undergo genetic testing when clinically indicated before transfer.
- International Surrogacy Programs – Coordinated fertility services designed to support patients traveling from abroad.
- Personalized Surrogacy Programs – Treatment plans tailored according to medical history, fertility diagnosis, and reproductive goals.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
