The Details
How Does LGBTQ+ Family Building Work?
The fertility journey for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples can involve various fertility treatments and options, depending on your specific circumstances and goals. Some common approaches include intrauterine insemination (IUI), which involves placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. IUI can be used with donor sperm or, in some cases, with one partner’s sperm for same-sex female couples. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is another option, involving fertilizing eggs with sperm in a laboratory and then transferring the resulting embryos to the uterus. IVF can be used with donor eggs, donor sperm, or a combination of both, depending on the needs of the individual or couple. Reciprocal IVF is an option for couples with two female partners, where one partner provides the eggs, and the other partner carries the pregnancy. Egg freezing allows individuals or couples to preserve their fertility for future use, which can be particularly helpful for those who may face medical treatments or conditions that could affect their fertility. We also offer access to a diverse network of screened and qualified egg and sperm donors, helping you find the right match for your family.

Reciprocal IVF is a beautiful option for couples with two female partners. One partner provides the eggs, and the other partner carries the pregnancy. It’s a way for both partners to be deeply involved in their child’s creation. We can discuss whether reciprocal IVF aligns with your family-building goals during your consultation.
What fertility preservation options are available for trans individuals?
We offer egg freezing and sperm freezing for trans individuals who want to preserve their fertility before undergoing hormonal or surgical gender-affirming treatments. This allows you to have the option of using your own genetic material to build your family in the future.
I've already transitioned. Can I still have biological children?
Yes, there are options available! We can discuss pausing hormone therapy to optimize your ability to provide eggs or sperm. If that’s not something you wish to do, we can explore using donor eggs or sperm, or working with a gestational carrier. We’ll create a personalized plan that honors your unique needs and goals.
