Your Last Embryo Can Still Create Your Family – Here’s How

If you’re down to your last embryo, you can still become a parent through our surrogacy programs.

Many surrogacy agencies require multiple embryos, leaving intended parents with just one last embryo feeling like they have no options. But at American Surrogacy, we believe that even if you have one and only embryo, you deserve the opportunity to build your family through surrogacy.

Whether you have only one embryo left to transfer, or this is your last and only shot at parenthood, we are here to guide you through every step of the process.

Contact us today to learn more about how our programs can give you peace of mind as you navigate this important journey.

We Only Have One Frozen Embryo Left: Is Surrogacy an Option?

Yes. We believe only having one embryo left shouldn’t stand between you and parenthood.

While other agencies turn away single-embryo intended parents because of the additional time and costs involved, we fully support your journey and will work tirelessly to match you with a surrogate who shares your determination.

We recognize the challenges you’ve already faced to get to this point, and we are ready to help you take the next step.

Choose the Right Surrogacy Program for Your Last Embryo

We offer three surrogacy programs tailored to different needs and financial situations. If you have only one embryo left to transfer, you can choose from any of the following options:

Foundation Program – A Flexible Path to Parenthood

A pay-as-you-go approach, allowing you to move forward at your own pace. Additional costs may arise if a rematch is needed.

Limited Risk Program – Financial Protection for Your Last Embryo

Provides security in case unexpected circumstances prevent a successful transfer. If your match falls through before transfer, you have unlimited matching attempts at no additional cost—as long as you still have your last embryo.

Why American Surrogacy is the Best Choice for Families with One Embryo Left

Unlike most agencies, we specialize in working with families who are down to their last embryo.

We understand the emotional and financial pressure that comes with having one and only embryo left, which is why we offer unique safeguards through our Limited Risk Program.

We provide peace of mind by protecting you from obstacles that could prevent your one embryo left from having the best chance of success. If any of the following happens, we will apply your fees to your next match:

The surrogate is no longer eligible for medical reasons.

The surrogate is not approved by your fertility clinic.

Unforeseen personal circumstances cause the surrogate to back out.

If your one last embryo is viable, we will continue helping you match with a surrogate until you get your transfer attempt.

Worried About Time & Cost? Here’s Why It Takes Longer & Costs More

Is One Embryo Enough for a Successful Pregnancy?

Yes! While having multiple embryos provides additional chances, one embryo can still lead to a successful pregnancy—especially when paired with a medically screened, experienced surrogate.

Why Most Surrogacy Agencies Won’t Work with Families Who Have Only One Embryo

Many surrogacy agencies simply don’t work with single-embryo families because of the extra time and cost required. The reality is that they do not have enough surrogates who are both willing and eligible to match with single-embryo intended parents.

Since fewer surrogates accept one last embryo, agencies that don’t want to invest additional time, resources, and advertising may turn away intended parents altogether.

But at American Surrogacy, we specialize in supporting families with just one embryo left to transfer—no matter how long it takes to find the perfect match.

Why Families with a Single Embryo Wait Longer for a Surrogate

If you have only one embryo left to transfer, finding the right surrogate takes more time because:

Surrogates Have Transfer Limits

Each surrogate has a set number of pregnancies and embryo transfers they can undergo before they are no longer eligible. Many prefer working with families with multiple embryos to avoid disqualification if the first transfer isn’t successful.

Fewer Surrogates Available

Some surrogates choose to work with families who have more than one embryo, as their compensation doesn’t begin until a pregnancy is confirmed.

More Advertising & Screening Required

Because there are fewer surrogates willing to accept one last embryo, we must advertise longer and screen more candidates to find the right match, which increases costs.

Why Does Surrogacy with One Embryo Cost More?

Finding a surrogate for a single-embryo family takes more effort, which means:

Longer advertising campaigns to recruit surrogates open to a single embryo transfer.
More extensive screening & outreach to match you with the right surrogate.
Higher investment in ensuring success, leading to increased costs for intended parents.

While these factors may add time and cost, we are one of the few agencies dedicated to helping families with only one embryo left. We ensure you are matched with the best surrogate, not just the fastest option.
