Discreet, exclusive
and deeply personal
Complete fertility & surrogacy solutions delivered through meticulous attention to detail & private care.
Infertility — and surrogacy — can be an emotionally demanding journey for intended parents and surrogates alike. So, we work hard to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible for all parties through meticulous attention to detail and personal care.
If you choose to hire a surrogate, IMA ART Fertility will match you with potential surrogates who are healthy, meet the necessary requirements and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guidelines, and pass our own extensive surrogate pregnancy evaluations at IMA ART. We have the highest standards when it comes to our surrogate mothers, and we vet each applicant to understand their background, education, support systems, history of successful pregnancies, and their sincerity and excitement when it comes to helping others build a family.
Your Pregnancy Journey Through Surrogacy
For hopeful parents seeking to begin their surrogacy journey, resorting to individual sourcing of gestational carriers (independent surrogacy) is both time consuming and prone to pitfalls.
We are a confidential, white glove agency that will be with you every step of your surrogacy journey. At IMA ART Fertility, we know from personal experience how emotionally challenging and tiring the surrogacy process can be. It’s important to have professional support that will assist and guide you, your partner and other family members — as well as the traditional or gestational surrogate — through every point of the surrogacy program. We will introduce experienced lawyers in surrogacy law who in-turn will ensure agreements are followed, and that your experience is tailored to your individual wants and needs.
There are numerous reasons why people decide to seek a surrogacy arrangement, and IMA ART Fertility is here for people who:
-
Have a health condition that hinders them from carrying babies or would pose a significant risk of death or harm to them or the fetus. These include medical conditions associated with recurrent pregnancy loss, like absence of uterus and unicornuate uterus (where only half of the uterus forms).
-
Are unable to conceive or bear a child, such as male individuals or same sex couples.
-
Have had multiple failed and unexplained experiences with IVF despite transfer of good-quality embryos.
-
Individuals and couples who cannot seek safe, legal and reliable surrogacy arrangements in their home country.

At IMA ART, our extensive fertility treatment options have been developed to address a wide range of fertility issues and are tailored to your individual needs. The medical procedures we offer include:
-
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), where sperm from the intended father or a donor is introduced to the uterus through a catheter. Typically, this is the method used in traditional surrogacy.
-
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), where fertilization happens in a lab rather than the uterus, and then specialists perform an embryo transfer. Typically, this is the method used in gestational surrogacy.
-
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a specialized, harmless needle is used to inject a single sperm into an egg to ensure fertilization. Generally, this method is used when traditional fertilization through IVF becomes difficult. For example, if the intended father or donor has low sperm count or low sperm motility, or if the egg was previously frozen.
-
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), where our specialists test the egg, sperm and embryo for genetic abnormalities like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome and Klinefelter’s syndrome, among others. PGT can allow the intended parents to select the sex and genotype of their future baby, assess risk of birth defects, and reduce the likelihood of miscarriages or complications.
-
Egg Freezing is a fantastic option for women who don’t want to be pregnant right now but want to have a successful pregnancy on their schedule. It’s best to freeze eggs when the woman is between the ages of 20 and 35.
-
Sperm Banks and Egg Donor Banks provide inclusive fertility services to all partners or individuals. Sperm or egg donation services may be desirable for people who are in same sex relationships, women whose eggs are not viable, people whose sperm or eggs have been identified to have a genetic abnormality, or men who have low sperm count or motility. The banks we partner with conduct a series of background checks and meticulous testing for all donors.
We understand that while family-building is the desire and ultimate goal of all of our intended parents, the pathway for each of them may be different. This is why we partner with renowned experts and service providers who have mastery of cutting-edge assisted reproductive technology to offer you premium personal care plans.
