LGBTQ

At LA IVF, we truly believe that every individual deserves to have a child. We have extensive experience treating the LGBTQ community; we will support you along your journey and create a family-building plan of your choice. Every case is different and we listen thoroughly to all of your needs and preferences.

 

Biologically female same-sex couples may consider the options below:

Both partners involved:

  • One partner provides her eggs and the other partner carries the pregnancy
  • Both partners provide their eggs and either; each carry the pregnancy themselves or one partner carries for the other

One partner involved only:

  • One partner provides the eggs and carries the pregnancy

Biologically female same sex couples will also need:

 

  • Donor Sperm:
    • Known sperm donor – the sperm donor can be known, meaning you already know someone who can donate his sperm to you
    • Sperm Bank – we can help you find a sperm donor through a sperm bank.

Biologically male same-sex couples may consider the options below:

 

  • Both partners involved:
    • Using sperm from each partner, donor eggs can be fertilized, embryos created and frozen individually. Then embryos from each partner can be transferred into one or two different surrogates.
  • One partner involved only:
    • Using sperm from one partner only, donor eggs are fertilized, frozen, then transferred into a surrogate.

 

Biologically male same-sex couples will also need:

  • Egg Donor and Surrogate
    • Known egg donor and surrogate  – the egg donor or surrogate can be known, meaning you already know someone who will donate their eggs and someone who can carry the pregnancy. 
    • Unknown egg donor and surrogate – we will help you find an egg donor and surrogate.

Biological same-sex couples will also need to consider:

Legal counsel – It is always recommended to seek legal counsel when using egg donors and surrogates. At LA IVF, we connect you with attorneys whom we work with that specializes in reproductive law.
