Family Building Options for LGBTQ+ Patients
Ferny offers a range of fertility treatments and services designed to support LGBTQ+ family-building journeys.
Donor Sperm IUI
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) using donor sperm is a common first step for many same-sex female couples and individuals pursuing pregnancy.
IVF with Donor Sperm
IVF may be recommended depending on fertility factors, family-building goals, or when additional reproductive technologies are helpful.
Reciprocal IVF
Reciprocal IVF allows one partner to provide the eggs while the other partner carries the pregnancy. This option enables both partners to participate biologically in the pregnancy journey.
Gestational Carrier
Some families build their family with the help of a gestational carrier (surrogate). Ferny coordinates medical care for IVF and embryo transfer as part of this process.
Fertility Preservation
Egg freezing and sperm freezing may be used to preserve fertility for future family-building plans.
A Personalized Approach to Family Building
At Ferny, fertility care begins with understanding your goals.
Your physician will review your health history, discuss family-building options, and help design a personalized care plan that may include fertility testing, donor coordination, or assisted reproductive treatment.
We work closely with trusted donor banks, legal professionals, and gestational carrier agencies to help ensure every step of the process is well coordinated.
Patients often appreciate:
- Clear explanations of treatment options
- Inclusive, respectful care
- Personalized treatment planning
