LGBTQ+ Parenting Options
We offer a wide variety of treatment cycles for same-sex partners including:
- Natural cycle with insemination (IUI) of donor sperm
- Ovulation induction with insemination (IUI) of donor sperm
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, including those involving donor eggs, donor sperm and/or gestational carriers (surrogates)
- Reciprocal IVF cycles
For same-sex male couples, there should be a discussion about which partner will donate their sperm or whether to use sperm from both partners for egg fertilization. For same-sex female couples, a traditional cycle of IVF can be pursued with one partner, or via reciprocal IVF treatment, in which one woman acts as the egg donor, and the other partner carries the pregnancy, allowing each partner to have a genetic link to the baby.
Additionally, we work with transgender individuals to preserve their fertility as well as discuss their options for current and future family planning. Gender transition is a complex, life-changing decision. Wherever you are in your own transition, we are here to help you along the way.
