Your family-building path
Family-Building Options for Single Parents by Choice
AFMC’s reproductive endocrinologists and professional staff can help you evaluate these options and choose an appropriate treatment path.
Sperm Donor Conception
Donor insemination places prepared donor sperm into the uterus around the time of ovulation, potentially resulting in pregnancy.
Egg Donor Conception
Donor eggs may enable another person to become pregnant. The egg recipient may be the patient or a gestational surrogate.
IVF
IVF involves retrieving eggs and sperm, fertilizing them in the AFMC laboratory to create embryos and transferring an embryo into the uterus.
Gestational Surrogacy
A gestational surrogate carries a pregnancy and gives birth for another person or couple without providing the egg used in conception.
