The fastest time is about 14 months from the day you decide to become a surrogate to the day you deliver. From the day you decide to become a surrogate to the day of the embryo transfer it will take about 5 months: 1.Intake process at Grace 2.Match with your future parents 3.Screening and medical clearance 4.Contracts and legal clearance 5.Start of the cycle and embryo transfer). And of course the 9 months of pregnancy!

You will start the injections of progesterone about 5 days before the embryo transfer until you are 12 weeks pregnant. While this is the least favorite part for all surrogates it’s important to remember that these injections are essential to keep the pregnancy viable for the first few weeks. Also, due to the way the embryos are created in a lab, your first trimenster is sped up, meaning that at the point of embryo transfer you are considered 2 weeks pregnant, ten days later at pregnancy test you are considered 4 weeks pregnant and ten days following pregnancy test at fetal heartbeat you are considered 6 weeks pregnant. So 12 weeks comes much quicker than it sounds.
