What is the medical term called when a traditional surrogate is fertilized with the intended fathers sperm?

What is the correct medical terminology for when a traditional surrogate is fertilized with the intended fathers sperm?? does the traditional surrogate have to undergo any hormones or therapy before fertilization or is it possible to just fertilize her while she’s ovulating???

I believe the term you are looking for is Artificial Insemination.

Sometimes a traditional surrogate mother will undergo hormone treatment, but often she does not. It depends on the situation. She can be fertilized while ovulating.

Artificial Insemination can be done in a clinic setting or via home insemination with frozen sperm.

Best wishes!
