Absolutely! "Some people tend to confuse the term "surrogate." A true surrogate is a woman who not only carries the pregnancy for a couple but uses her own egg as the genetic material. In these cases the fetus is genetically linked to the surrogate."

You do NOT have to use a surrogate for an IVF cycle. If you have a functional uterus and eggs but can't get pregnant due to other factors, you can use IVF to conceive and carry your own child.

What are the theoretical types of surrogacy?

Theoretical types of surrogacy include traditional surrogacy, where the surrogate is genetically related to the child, and gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate carries an embryo created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and is not genetically related to the child. Additionally, altruistic surrogacy involves the surrogate receiving no financial compensation beyond medical expenses, while commercial surrogacy includes financial compensation for the surrogate's services. Each type varies in legal, ethical, and emotional implications.
