In the past, same-gender couples looking to start a family had to go through long, complicated adoption processes. Now, with modern reproductive techniques, same-gender couples can have children and share the joys of conception and pregnancy. At Reproductive Fertility Center we believe that everyone who wants to have a family should have the opportunity to have one. We pride ourselves in providing a safe, friendly environment to help same-gender couples of all ages achieve their dreams of parenthood.

LGBTQ+ Fertility Options

When considering fertility options for LGBT patients, there are many questions to be answered so that Reproductive Fertility can create a personalized plan for you and your family. For many LGBT parents, we understand that you do not suffer from reproductive issues, but rather need assistance bringing the sperm and egg together for fertilization. During your consultation, Dr. Saadat will walk you through the process in the safest, most natural and successful roadmap to childbirth. 

Fertility for Gay Couples

For male couples who are looking to get pregnant, most commonly a gestational surrogate and/or egg donor is used to carry the baby. Depending on the results you are looking for, there are some questions to consider:

  • Who’s sperm will be used? 
  • Who will donate the eggs for fertility?
  • Who will carry the baby?

Based on your answers, Reproductive Fertility will guide you down each possible option. Then, we will perform IVF with an egg donor and gestational surrogate. Male couples can choose from the following treatment options:

  • Egg donor using one or both partners’ sperm and a surrogate
  • Egg donor using donor sperm and a surrogate

Fertility for Lesbian Patients

Lesbian couples looking to have a baby have similar questions they need to decide upon to dictate the fertility path we undergo. These are some of the things to consider:

  • Who will carry the baby?
  • Who’s egg will be used?
  • Who will provide the sperm?

Lesbian couples have a few additional options when it comes to the sperm donor and the egg that will be used. We provide the following fertility treatments for same-sex female couples attempting to start a family of their own:

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) 

  • One of both partners are inseminated with donor sperm

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

  • Eggs from one or both partners are fertilized using donor sperm and the resulting embryos are implanted into one or both partners.
  • Eggs are taken from one partner, fertilized using a sperm donor, and the embryo is implanted into a surrogate
  • Eggs from a donor are fertilized using donor sperm and implanted into one partner.
  • Eggs from a donor are fertilized using donor sperm and implanted into a surrogate.

Female couples can choose to know their sperm donors or look into autonomous donors selected from a sperm bank.

Frequently Asked Questions about LGBTQ+ Fertility Treatments

How much do LGBTQ+ fertility treatment cost?

The cost of your fertility treatment will vary based on several factors. For more information, you may view our IVF cost page online and meet with our financial coordinator after your consultation.

Can my partner and I select the embryo’s gender?

Yes, your embryo’s gender can be genetically detected. Additionally, most chromosomal abnormalities can be genetically detected before the embryo transfer.

How will my partner and I know what fertility treatment is right for us?

Dr. Saadat personally meets with each couple to go over their health history and discuss their needs to determine the best fertility treatment option for their family.

What if my partner and I decide to use a surrogate?

If you desire a surrogate, Dr. Saadat will make sure you and your partner receive guidance and support throughout the process. Most male couples who wish to become parents choose to use a surrogate using their sperm or donor sperm. Female couples may seek a surrogate if they experience unsuccessful artificial insemination or IVF treatments.
