How a Reproductive Medicine Doctor Can Help You

LGBTQ people face some unique challenges building a family. You need to know your options. Consider these reproductive solutions for same-sex couples and single parent Gay or Lesbian or Transgender families:

Having a baby with a surrogate, which is necessary for Gay males. The surrogate should enjoy excellent overall and reproductive health. Donor eggs are used and fertilized in-vitro. The developing embryo is transferred into the surrogate’s uterus, where the baby grows and develops. Alternatively, the surrogate may use her own eggs, which are fertilized using artificial insemination.

Insemination using donor sperm, which is an option when there is no male partner. This is also an excellent option if the male partner has had a vasectomy. The sperm donor’s physical characteristics including eye and hair color are available on sperm bank websites.

Using a known, non-intimate sperm donor, which is an excellent option for lesbian couples who have a designated sperm donor.

There are several additional services available, through our South Florida office including:

• Egg freezing, which freezes the female eggs and banks them for use in the future.
• Sperm freezing, which freezes sperm and banks it for future use.
