Antagonist plans or micro-stimulation plans are usually used for those over 40 years old to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation. Embryo culture and screening: Fertilization through ICSI, raising the embryos until day 5-6, and conducting PGT-A chromosome screening to select healthy embryos. Surrogate mother matching: Choose a pregnant mother with good health and no adverse pregnancy and childbirth history from a legal surrogacy agency. In 2026, Hong Kong will add a psychological assessment link for surrogate mothers. Embryo transfer and pregnancy management: Pregnancy test 12-14 days after transfer, and continuous monitoring after pregnancy is confirmed until delivery. Hong Kong law stipulates that children born through surrogacy must go through parent-child confirmation procedures after birth. 3.

Hong Kong currently allows non-commercial surrogacy, that is, the surrogate mother cannot receive remuneration beyond reasonable compensation.

Agencies that profit from surrogacy are strictly prohibited, but reasonable medical expenses and compensation are protected. Q: Will the cost of IVF surrogacy for a 40-year-old in Hong Kong be higher than in other regions in 2026? The costs in Hong Kong are generally higher than those in Southeast Asia such as Thailand and Cambodia, but lower than those in the United States and Australia. Its advantage is that its medical level is close to the international forefront, there is no time difference with mainland China, and language communication is convenient. For families seeking high success rates and legal protection, Hong Kong is a cost-effective choice.
