What You’re Not Told About Surrogacy & Egg Donation

In this episode, we’re sharing a conversation featuring Katy Encalade, President & CEO of Egg Donor & Surrogate Solutions, from the IVF Daddies Podcast.

If you’re exploring surrogacy or egg donation, it’s easy to focus on the steps but having a clearer understanding of the bigger picture makes all the difference.

In this conversation, Katy breaks down:

  • What a realistic timeline looks like from embryo creation to baby
  • Why many families need more embryos than they expect
  • Where patience matters most in the journey
  • Why matching matters more than speed
  • What Intended Parents often overlook when choosing an egg donor
  • Red flags to watch for when evaluating agencies

This is the part of the process most people don’t fully understand, until they’re already in it.

If you’re exploring surrogacy or egg donation, it’s easy to focus on the steps but having a clearer understanding of the bigger picture makes all the difference.

If you’re early in your journey, or already in the middle of it, this will change how you think about what comes next.

Called To Carry

Surrogacy is more than medical. It’s deeply spiritual. And discerning a call to carry (or to let someone carry for you) isn’t always easy. Whether you’re pursuing surrogacy, preparing to carry for someone else, or just navigating unfamiliar terrain, you’re not alone. Called to Carry is a 14-day devotional for women of faith walking through the sacred, complex, and often hidden journey of surrogacy. Get your free copy today.
