At this point what remains is to pack your bag and essentials and board a plane going to Nigeria.Depending on which country you are,below are 6 tips which will guide you when coming to Nigeria for Surrogacy/Ivf


1) Duration of stay : You will need to calculate how long you will be staying in Nigeria starting from your arrival,undergoing medical evaluation at the clinic,sperm or egg donation,embryo transfer till confirmation of pregnancy which may be up to  8 weeks,if everything goes as planned.I will advise you budget an extra2 weeks Please note that this duration is for one cycle

2_ Accommodation: You will need to know which type of accommodation is more suitable for you.If you are more than 2 persons traveling or  wish to have a kitchen where you can buy your grocery and cook,then a rented apartment.If you will be eating outside then a hotel room will be ok for you.Make sure you make a budget for your accommodation because hotel bills climb up very easily

3) Location: Which part of Nigeria you will be visiting is very important.You need to know how close your embassy and clinic is to where you will be staying to make your movement
easier.

4) Legal: Before embarking on a surrogacy program outside your country, make sure you find out if your country accepts children born through ivf/surrogacy by their citizens.You
should also find out how long it will take to file the  necessary documents for full custody of your child and what documentations your embassy will require.

5) Safety: Your safety is very important.The southern part of Nigeria for example Lagos is very safe to stay ,live and work.

6) Transportation: Transportation in major cities in Nigeria is easy.You can use uber or bolt.Kindly desist from using public  transport.

  In Nigeria a lot of families who opt for third party reproduction  may be in need of egg donors. Egg donors are usually sourced in Nigeria  from fertility clinics or egg donor  agencies.  Egg donors most times are anonymous and not a third  party to a surrogacy contract though some commissioning  parents  like to have some background information  and also see pictures of their egg donors .  Recently a couple based in Port Harcourt did their  child dedication,but what kept their guests wondering  was why the baby is dark skinned and yet  the parents are light skinned.I could see the embarrassment on their  faces.  Digging further, i found out that the child was  conceived through IVF via a surrogate mother and an egg donor.The couple have specifically requested for a light skinned egg donor for their IVF program which was provided by the fertility clinic. The point here is  skin complexion is hereditary.So it is best to see pictures of parents of the egg donor (if possible) to know if
