Pathways to Parenthood
LGBTQ+ Fertility Treatment Options
We offer several pathways to parenthood depending on your goals and medical needs:
Insemination with Donor Sperm (IUI)
A simple, minimally invasive option where donor sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation.
IVF with Donor Sperm
Eggs are retrieved and fertilized in the laboratory using donor sperm, with embryos transferred into the uterus.
Reciprocal IVF (Shared Motherhood)
An option for female couples where one partner provides the eggs and the other partner carries the pregnancy, allowing both partners to participate biologically in the pregnancy journey.
IVF with Donor Eggs
Eggs from a donor are fertilized and transferred, offering an option for individuals or couples who cannot use their own eggs.
Gestational Carrier (Surrogacy Support)
Embryos are created through IVF and carried by a gestational carrier when pregnancy is not possible or recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions About LGBTQ+ Fertility Care
What fertility options are available for LGBTQ+ couples?
LGBTQ+ individuals and couples can access several fertility options including donor sperm insemination (IUI), IVF with donor sperm, reciprocal IVF, IVF with donor eggs, and gestational carrier arrangements depending on their family-building goals.
What is reciprocal IVF?
Reciprocal IVF (also called shared motherhood) is a fertility treatment for female couples where one partner provides the eggs and the other partner carries the pregnancy, allowing both to be biologically involved in the process.
Can same-sex couples do IVF?
Yes. Same-sex couples can use IVF with donor sperm or donor eggs, depending on their needs. IVF is a common and effective option for LGBTQ+ family building.
Do lesbian couples need donor sperm for IVF?
In most cases, yes. Donor sperm is used to fertilize eggs in IVF or insemination procedures for lesbian couples who wish to conceive.
Can gay male couples have biological children?
Yes. Gay male couples can build families using IVF with donor eggs and a gestational carrier, allowing one or both partners to have a biological connection to the child.
What is a gestational carrier?
A gestational carrier (surrogate) is a woman who carries a pregnancy created through IVF using the intended parents' or donors' eggs and sperm. She has no genetic relation to the baby.
Is LGBTQ+ fertility treatment safe and successful?
Yes. LGBTQ+ fertility treatments use the same safe, advanced reproductive technologies as other IVF and IUI treatments. Success depends on factors such as age, egg quality, and embryo development.
How do I start LGBTQ+ family planning?
The first step is a consultation with a fertility specialist. A personalized plan is created based on whether you choose donor sperm, donor eggs, IVF, reciprocal IVF, or surrogacy.
