Hello Experts,
One of our family members had chosen to go for IVF/Surrogacy treatment in Mumbai. After initial tests were done, as per the doctor's suggestion the couple went for surrogate option, no donor involved. They paid 5L where they were promised embroyo formation plus two surrogate attempts and additional expense would be after pregnancy is confirmed. The embroyo formatino was successful and they got 6 embroyos , and they got first attempt surrogate and 2 embroyos were transferred. Unfortunately it did not succeed and the couple asked for a second surrogate attempt as per the package. However the clinic started giving misleading answers and asking to go for another embroyo formation cycle, and asking for additional payment of 1.75L. THere is a strong doubt that clinic may have damaged/destroyed the remaining embroyos due to negligence or worse, they sold embroyos to some other couple without permission, it is also possible that the other couple may have conceived this coupl'es child. But it is very difficult to verify, as embroyos are frozen and one can not see them, and also no information is shared if the embroyos were sold to some other patient. So it is very difficult to prove our doubts. Since clinic is asking for another embroyo cycle, it is certain that some cheating is going on. It is very expensive to go to another clinic (as 5L is already paid), and very difficult to continue as they are asking for more money now and also they are not transparent, dont know what they are doing.
Please suggest if there is any way out, it is a really helpless and sad situation,
thanks,
R
