IVF surrogacy, or in vitro fertilization surrogacy, is a reproductive process in which a gestational surrogate carries a pregnancy on behalf of the intended parent(s) who are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy themselves. It involves the use of assisted reproductive technologies to create embryos through IVF, which are then transferred into the surrogate's uterus.

The process of IVF surrogacy in San Diego, CA, involves an initial consultation, surrogate selection, medical and legal preparations, synchronization of cycles, ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo development, embryo transfer, pregnancy and monitoring, and finally, the birth and establishment of parental rights.
