Who can pursue surrogacy under current Indian rules?
I have Asherman syndrome and repeated failed transfers. We are considering surrogacy. What medical and legal points should we know at a high level?
Short answer: Surrogacy in India is tightly regulated and generally limited to specific medical indications with altruistic arrangements under the law. You need specialist documentation and counselling through a registered clinic—not informal arrangements.
Answer #1
Medical indications come first
Absence of a uterus, significant uterine damage, or medical conditions where pregnancy is unsafe are among classic reasons surrogacy is discussed. Repeated implantation failure alone needs careful review before surrogacy is proposed. Your specialist should document why pregnancy in your own uterus is not advisable or feasible.

Answer #2
Legal process is not optional
Indian surrogacy law requires defined eligibility, counselling and registered clinic pathways. Details should be explained by the clinic's medical and legal team for your case. Avoid social-media brokers. Focus on accredited centres following current ART and surrogacy regulations.

Get matched to one ART-registered clinic after consent — not a directory of calls.
Answers are general education for patients in India, not a diagnosis or personal medical advice. Best IVF Centers is a fertility matching service, not a clinic or hospital. Always follow your treating doctor's instructions. In an emergency, go to the nearest hospital.
