Fertility options for lesbian women
Couples with two egg-producing individuals have a range of options for building their family. Our goal is to help you find the best approach for your circumstances, ensuring your path to parenthood is both successful and meaningful.
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
IUI is a minimally invasive and cost-effective fertility treatment, ideal for couples without additional infertility concerns. During the procedure, donor sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation, increasing the chances of conception. - Reciprocal IVF
Reciprocal IVF allows both partners to share in the family-building process. One partner provides the eggs, while the other carries the pregnancy, creating a unique and shared journey to parenthood. - Donor sperm
Selecting a sperm donor is a crucial step in the process. We partner with trusted sperm banks, such as Fairfax Cryobank and California Cryobank, giving you access to a wide range of donor options based on personal preferences and medical history. Our specialists guide you through the process of using either a known or anonymous donor.
With every step, our team ensures that your experience is filled with confidence, care, and connection.
Fertility options for gay men
Sperm-producing individuals and couples have several advanced reproductive options available. At RSC, we specialize in creating seamless, personalized journeys for gay men looking to grow their families.
- Gestational surrogacy
Gestational surrogacy involves using a gestation carrier, often known as a surrogate, to carry the pregnancy. An embryo is created with your sperm and a donated egg, then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. We guide you through selecting a gestational carrier and provide comprehensive support throughout the process. RSC works with the surrogacy agency of your choice and highly recommends Center for Surrogate Parenting (CSP). - Egg donation
Egg donors can be selected from leading egg banks, such as Fairfax Egg Bank, or through donor agencies. Whether you choose an anonymous or directed donor, our team ensures you have access to options that align with your preferences and genetic goals. - Legal support
To complete your journey, we’ll help connect you with experienced attorneys specializing in third-party parenting to ensure all legal aspects of surrogacy and egg donation are addressed.
Our team is here to provide expert care and support as you take each step toward growing your family.
Fertility options for transgender and gender-diverse individuals or couples
At RSC, we are deeply committed to offering fertility care that respects and celebrates your gender identity. Whether you’re planning for future family-building or ready to start the process, we provide compassionate, tailored options.
- Fertility preservation
If you’re considering gender-affirming treatments or surgeries, fertility preservation is an important option. Egg or sperm freezing can safeguard your ability to have biological children later. We work closely with you to explore preservation options before transitioning. - IVF and surrogacy
For those who have undergone gender-affirming treatments or fertility preservation, advanced reproductive technologies like IVF or surrogacy can help you achieve parenthood. We offer options including donor sperm, donor eggs, and gestational carriers. - Inclusive and respectful care
We are dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming environment where you feel respected, valued, and understood. Every member of our team is here to listen, address your concerns, and provide unwavering support throughout your journey.
