Surrogate eligibility self-check
This checklist helps you understand common screening topics. It does not determine whether you qualify for a particular program or clinic.
No personal information is requested or submitted. Your answers stay in your browser and are used only to show the educational guidance below.
Age range
ASRM guidance says gestational carriers should preferably be legal adults between 21 and 45. Programs may use narrower ranges.
Previous pregnancy and birth
Professional guidance generally favors someone who has previously completed at least one pregnancy and has a history that a fertility clinic considers medically appropriate for another pregnancy.
Pregnancy history
Prior complications — including preterm delivery, hypertensive disorders, diabetes, significant hemorrhage or multiple C-sections — are reviewed individually. A single history item should not be treated here as an automatic universal disqualification.
Current health and medications
A fertility clinic will review current medical conditions, medications, nicotine or substance use, BMI or other health measures, and whether pregnancy is medically appropriate.
Practical and psychosocial readiness
Programs commonly review support systems, psychological readiness, informed consent, scheduling, travel, communication expectations and the ability to participate voluntarily.
How to use the result
No online checklist can provide medical clearance or program eligibility. A clinic makes medical decisions based on records and evaluation, while agencies or matching programs may apply additional criteria. State law can also affect who may participate in a particular arrangement.
