IVF FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES
Shared Motherhood or Reciprocal IVF is now one of the most popular treatment options for lesbian couples because it gives both partners another way to share in the family building experience. One partner provides the eggs, while the other carries the pregnancy.
How Does it Work?
In this fertility treatment, one partner provides the eggs while the other partner carries the baby to term. This is a great solution for many couples because it allows both women to be physically involved in the pregnancy, which can facilitate feelings of emotional connection and direct involvement in the pregnancy.
The Decision
If neither of the partners has fertility issues, either one can be the egg donor or gestational carrier. The process is the same as a regular IVF cycle, but it is divided between two women. Sometimes partners who do not have fertility issues and have had a child with Reciprocal IVF will reverse their donor and carrier roles for a second child,
