Once your surrogate is medically cleared to proceed. and your surrogate is medically prepared for an embryo transfer, Our IVF specialist will provide a cycle calendar that outlines the date the embryo transfer will take place. Pregnancy results will come back 15 days following the embryo transfer procedure.
