Gestational surrogacy in Ukraine is a modern form of third-party reproduction in which an embryo created through IVF is transferred to a surrogate mother who carries the pregnancy for the intended parents.

Unlike traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother has no genetic link to the child. This distinction makes the process legally clearer, emotionally safer and more predictable for intended parents who are considering a surrogacy program in Ukraine.

Le chemin vers la maternité est profondément personnel, et pour les femmes confrontées à des défis tels que l’infertilité ou les risques liés à une grossesse tardive, la gestation pour autrui (GPA) offre une alternative. Le désir d’élever un enfant ne s’estompe pas avec l’âge ou les circonstances. Au contraire, il ne fait que s’intensifier avec le temps, et la GPA est l’une des voies permettant de réaliser ce rêve.

Researchers from the UK and the Netherlands have identified a 'genetic signature' in the womb that could help explain repeated IVF failure in some women.

"Many women undergo a number of IVF cycles without success despite having good quality embryos and, up to now, it has been unclear whether or not the lining of the womb may be the cause of that," said study co-lead Professor Nick Macklon, medical director of Complete Fertility Centre Southampton.

Scientists have discovered that the use of painkillers during pregnancy in rats may reduce the fertility of their offspring.

The study shows that rats who were put on a course of paracetamol or prescription-only drug indomethacin gave birth to female offspring with fewer eggs, smaller ovaries, and who had smaller litters themselves.

The effects of the painkillers were even observed in the subsequent generation – the granddaughters of the initial test subjects were found to have smaller ovaries and altered reproductive function.
