>the eggs, the surrogate's womb will be receptive for
>the created embryos. The surrogate mother receives an
>injection (Prostap) to stop the pituitary gland to

>by a vaginal ultrasound scan to show a thin lining of
>the womb and inactive ovaries. Once the surrogate
>mother is down regulated, she is on stand by waiting
>for the intended mother to be ready to start the
>treatment. The protocol of treatment of the intended
>mother will differ depending on several factors
>including age, weight, FSH level, regularity of her
>cycles and whether she has had a hysterectomy. Once
>the intended mother starts the daily injections to
>produce the eggs, the surrogate mother will start
>daily tablets of Oestrogen (Progynova tablets) to
>build up the lining of the womb. Both women will be
>monitored by vaginal ultrasound scan. It usually takes
>12-14 days for both of them to be ready.
>Once the eggs are collected, they are fertilised by
>the quarantined sperm. The embryos will be replaced
>two days later into the surrogate's womb.

>The patency of the tubes of the surrogate mother need
