You’re starting something meaningful, and you feel impatient. Book a consultation to discuss your hopes.
Understanding Third Party Reproduction: A Comprehensive Overview
Third-party reproduction means building your family using donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos, or the help of a gestational carrier—someone who carries your baby but isn’t genetically related to it. You can choose from familiar warmth in a known donor or anonymity through a screened program, whatever fits your comfort and story best.
Step‑by‑Step Process of Third Party Reproduction
Here’s how the journey typically unfolds:
Counselling and Screening: Before anything else, everyone (you, donors, carriers) meets with a counsellor and undergoes medical and infectious disease testing. Emotional safety and health matter just as much as legality and clarity.
Matching: Bliss Fertility helps you find a match—a sperm donor IVF, egg donor, or carrier—based on the traits you care about and according to medical and personal compatibility.
Embryo Transfer or IVF: IVF with egg or embryo donation involves combining eggs and sperm in the lab to create embryos, which are subsequently transferred or frozen for later use.
You aren't alone. Bliss Fertility’s team of specialists and counsellors is always there to deliver legal and emotional support. From matching to treatment and transferring, we ensure all your steps are connected. Failing to conceive can be tough, but with advanced treatments and supportive fertility channels, you can find hope.
Why Consider Third Party Reproduction? A Range of Advantages

Third party reproduction opens deeply meaningful doors for those navigating infertility, single life parenthood, or same-sex family building; it brings real families to life. Studies show that children born through surrogacy or donor-assisted conception fare just as well emotionally and psychologically as their peers. This is because “family process” matters more than structure. For example, surrogacy agreements offer legal clarity for same-sex male couples, affirming parental rights from the outset.
The biggest strength of this path is flexibility. You can choose an anonymous donor or someone open to future contact, whatever suits you emotionally and ethically. Then there’s the practical hope it offers: IVF success rates in India vary widely but typically range between 30–40% per cycle, depending on age and clinic quality.
Cost-wise, third party reproduction options like donor-cycle IVF can still be accessible, especially in regions like Kerala, where a donor-cycle IVF costs around ₹2.2 lakh, while self-cycle IVF may run around ₹1.5 lakh.
This combination of strength, flexibility, and tangible results makes it a compelling choice for those looking to build a family on their terms.

FAQs: Your Questions Answered
What are the benefits of choosing donor embryos over single gamete donation?
Donor embryos are already fertilized and are often simpler to transfer via IVF than sourcing both egg and sperm separately.
What support does Bliss Fertility provide during third party reproduction?
We offer holistic support covering legal, emotional, and personalized aspects to guide you through IVF, donor, and gestational carrier journeys.
Can couples maintain a connection with the donor?
Having a connection with the donor is your choice. It completely depends on your emotional wish.
Is it possible to do IVF with donor eggs and sperm?
Yes, it is feasible to go through IVF using donor eggs and donor sperm IVF. This is an easy option for couples or individuals whose partners are unable to donate viable eggs or sperm for fertilization.
Will the child, through third party reproduction, have any genetic link?
Yes, if you provide one gamete (egg or sperm), your child will share genetics. Otherwise, there may not be any genetic link, but the emotional bond remains deep.
