Still a bit confused about Preetas pregnancy.

Various places and times, it was implied that Preeta can not conceive, if so then, how is IVF possible and surrogacy is feasible? There is no fetus. Right? Also, mentioned sometimes that her womb is not strong enough but then the unborn baby can be transferred to someone else for surrogacy. Any thoughts? May be CVs have no clue what they are intending to do yet.

Not to confuse anyone. But trying to find logic in Indian serial is a keen to finding a needle in hay stack. However, I re-watched the episode where the Doctor told Preeta that she wasn't pregnant and sadly and rather unfortunately I found some semblance of logic, if not continuity. Preeta's case is a keen to Ishita in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. By that I mean the doctor kept repeating that her womb is weak, however, that doesn't imply complete infertility. Considering the topic of surrogacy is being discussed, and all surrogacy requires are 'eggs' from the mother and 'sperm' from the father to be transferred to the 'host' aka surrogate, in this case it would be possible.

I believe individual eggs can not be transferred but only fertilized one which has potential to become eventually a baby can be transferred to a surrogate mother. In this case if Preeta can not conceive that implies the eggs cant meet fruitfully to produce a baby. So dad has to produce with someone else and later get the baby. Like in movie Chori chori chupke chupke or something like that where they hire a prostitute for that job.

Preeta s uterus is weak . So she can’t carry a baby . But there is no problem with eggs that was mentioned. The eggs can be extracted and fertilised in a lab. Any way during IVF treatment injections are given everyday to increase egg counts . The embryo formed in the lab after fertilisation can be transported to a surrogate.

I know becoz my friend had an IVF baby. She had issues in conceiving naturally and so opted for IVF. There was no surrogate though

That is not what the doctor said. When the doctor was talking about Preeta not being able to conceive she was referring to her womb. The doctor kept on saying her womb is weak (weird terminology). One can have the most perfect eggs in the world and still not be able to conceive.

Surrogacy is most often two types, the traditional surrogacy which was as you mentioned shown in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke or the sperm can be transferred through an apparatus to the surrogate AND the second one being gestational surrogacy, which usually happens through IVF ( in vitro fertilisation), the egg is extracted from the mother and the sperm from the father fertilised outside and the fertilised embryo is then transferred into the surrogate.
