Can you be a surrogate mother after menopause?

By Andrea Rodrigo (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/08/2018

Yes, your ovaries or eggs are not required for surrogacy, but only a healthy uterus. A mother can choose to carry a child for a daughter or another family member in the USA as long as her uterus is in the right conditions for bearing a pregnancy. It should be taken into account that the ability to carry a baby deteriorates with age as well as the egg quality.
