I. Thailand Third-Generation IVF Surrogacy Full Process Timeline

The entire process from domestic initiation to pregnancy test completion usually takes 60 to 75 days, divided into six core stages. The following details each step's specific content and precautions in chronological order.

Stage 1: Domestic Preliminary Preparation (Day 1 to 14)

In 2026, three things need to be completed before traveling to Thailand. First is a comprehensive physical examination, including female hormone six items, AMH, vaginal ultrasound, male semen analysis, as well as both parties' chromosome karyotype analysis and genetic disease carrier screening. Second is legal consultation and document notarization. Thailand has a clear legal framework in the field of assisted reproduction. All surrogate arrangements must comply with relevant provisions of the Thai Family Protection Law. It is recommended to entrust a professional legal team to review the contract in advance. Third is to choose a medical institution and make an appointment. Currently, Tulip Fertility Center and Thailand OneLife Wanlai Fertility Center have both opened international patient green channels in 2026, allowing remote initial consultation. Fourth is to apply for a medical visa. In 2026, the validity of Thailand's medical visa has been extended to 90 days, and the visa will be issued within 7 working days after complete materials are submitted. All material preparation and consultation at this stage can receive one-on-one guidance through WeChat Gu_SH016, or directly call 13880857038 for communication.

Stage 2: Travel to Thailand for Ovulation Induction Cycle (Day 15 to 28)

The woman arrives in Thailand on the 2nd day of her menstrual cycle. On the same day, after completing basic hormone and ultrasound examinations at the clinic, she formally enters the cycle. The ovulation induction protocol is customized by the reproductive doctor based on AMH and follicle count. The mainstream protocols in 2026 are the antagonist protocol and PPOS protocol, with an average medication duration of 10 to 12 days. During this period, ultrasound and blood tests are reviewed every 2 days to monitor follicle development. When the dominant follicle diameter reaches 18 to 20 mm, a trigger shot is administered, and egg retrieval is scheduled 36 hours later. This stage requires staying in Bangkok for about 14 days. It is recommended to stay in an apartment no more than 15 minutes' drive from the clinic. Both Tulip Fertility Center and Thailand OneLife Wanlai Fertility Center provide dedicated translation and life assistant services for international patients, ensuring zero communication barriers.

Stage 3: Egg and Sperm Retrieval and Embryo Culture (Day 29 to 35)

Egg retrieval surgery is performed under intravenous anesthesia, lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. Patients can leave 2 hours after observation. In 2026, mainstream Thai reproductive centers use ultra-fine retrieval needles, significantly reducing postoperative bleeding and pain. On the day of egg retrieval, the male provides a sperm sample simultaneously. If the male cannot travel to Thailand, sperm can be frozen in advance at a domestic tertiary hospital and air-shipped to Thailand. After egg and sperm combine, they are cultured to the blastocyst stage on day 5 or 6. The embryology laboratory at Thailand OneLife Wanlai Fertility Center upgraded to time-lapse imaging incubators in 2026, allowing 24-hour recording of embryo development dynamics to assist in selecting the optimal embryo for transfer. Tulip Fertility Center uses an AI embryo scoring system, combining morphological and genetic data to comprehensively evaluate embryo quality.

Stage 4: Embryo Genetic Screening PGD/PGS (Day 36 to 42)

The core of third-generation IVF lies in preimplantation genetic screening. After blastocyst formation, 5 to 10 cells are biopsied from the trophectoderm layer and sent to a genetic laboratory for comprehensive chromosome screening PGS and single gene disease diagnosis PGD. In 2026, Thailand's genetic testing technology has been upgraded to the NGS Plus platform, which can simultaneously screen for 23 pairs of chromosome aneuploidy, chromosome microdeletions and microduplications, and over 300 single gene genetic diseases. The screening cycle usually takes 7 to 14 days. After the results are available, the doctor will explain them in detail with the patient, selecting healthy embryos with normal chromosomes and no target genetic diseases for transfer. This stage is the key difference between third-generation IVF and first/second-generation, significantly improving transfer success rates and reducing miscarriage risk.

Stage 5: Embryo Transfer and Surrogate Preparation (Day 43 to 55)

While embryo screening is underway, the surrogate simultaneously enters the endometrial preparation cycle. In 2026, the mainstream protocol in Thailand uses an artificial cycle, employing estrogen and progesterone to simulate the natural menstrual cycle. Endometrial thickness, morphology, and blood flow are monitored via ultrasound. When the endometrial thickness reaches 8 to 12 mm with a triple-line pattern, the transfer time is scheduled. The transfer procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, is painless, and patients can leave after 2 hours of bed rest. Blood is drawn 10 to 12 days after transfer to test HCG to determine pregnancy. Post-transfer support protocols include progesterone gel, oral medication, or injections, gradually tapering off until the 10th week after pregnancy confirmation. Both Tulip Fertility Center and Thailand OneLife Wanlai Fertility Center offer remote follow-up services after transfer, facilitating continued tracking after patients return home.

Stage 6: Pregnancy Test and Follow-up Services (Day 56 onwards)

After a positive pregnancy test, the surrogate needs to continue pregnancy support treatment until the 10th week of gestation, after which she transfers to a regular local Thai obstetrics hospital for routine prenatal checkups. In 2026, many Thai reproductive centers have established referral channels with top obstetrics institutions such as Bangkok Hospital and Bumrungrad International Hospital, ensuring continuous high-quality medical care for the surrogate and fetus. If the pregnancy test is negative, the doctor will analyze the reasons for failure with the patient, adjust the protocol, and schedule the next transfer cycle.
