About

FAMILY-BUILDING FOR LESBIAN COUPLES AND LGBTQIA+ WOMEN

Lesbian couples, couples with two egg providers, or egg producing individuals who would like to achieve pregnancy have two main treatment paths: intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF can be completed by pursuing either standard IVF or Co-IVF. Our physicians work with you to determine which treatments will best meet your fertility and family-building goals.



Information

Our Services:

  • IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
  • IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
  • Co-IVF / Reciprocal IVF

IUI involves placing concentrated sperm into the uterus around the time of ovulation.

IVF involves retrieving eggs and sperm, fertilizing them in an RMA of New York laboratory to create embryos, then placing a healthy embryo into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.

If you and your partner(s) are interested in using a healthy sperm donor: co-in vitro fertilization (Co-IVF) is the newest fertility treatment that affords multiple partners the chance to participate physically in the reproductive process.


Additional Treatment Options

Egg Donor Conception

An egg donor will donate eggs to enable another woman to become pregnant. The egg recipient may be the female patient or a gestational surrogate.

Gestational Surrogacy

Gestational surrogacy is a process in which an individual, who did not provide the egg used in conception, carries the pregnancy and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple.

Egg Freezing

Preserving your eggs now allows you to take control of your options later.
