Navigating Fertility Options

as a Same-Sex Couple

Creating a customized family-building plan starts with understanding your choices. At New Hope, Dr. Subodh Chauhan and our dedicated team offer a comprehensive range of services to help you achieve your dream.

  • Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): This is often a great starting point for couples with female reproductive organs. We carefully time the introduction of donor sperm into the uterus to maximize the chances of conception.

  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) & Reciprocal IVF: IVF provides high success rates and profound flexibility. For couples with female reproductive organs, Reciprocal IVF is a beautiful option. One partner provides the eggs, and the other partner carries the pregnancy, allowing both to be physically connected to the child's development.

  • Surrogacy: For couples with male reproductive organs, or those unable to carry a pregnancy, gestational surrogacy offers a wonderful path to parenthood. We help coordinate the medical aspects of this journey with the utmost care.

  • Donor Services: Whether you need a sperm donor, an egg donor, or both, we guide you through the selection process. We work with reputable donor banks to ensure safety, quality, and peace of mind.

Patient Success Story:

A Shared Journey to Motherhood

"We always knew we wanted to be mothers, but we felt overwhelmed by the process. Walking into New Hope changed everything. Dr. Chauhan immediately made us feel like family. We chose Reciprocal IVF so we could both play a role in bringing our baby into the world.

I provided the egg, and my wife carried our daughter. The team celebrated every milestone with us, from the egg retrieval to the positive pregnancy test. Today, we are holding our beautiful baby girl, and we could not be more grateful for experience."

How to Start Your Fertility Journey

as a Same-Sex Couple

Taking the very first step can feel daunting. Here are three tips to help you and your partner begin your path to parenthood:

  1. Discuss Your Family Goals: Sit down with your partner and talk about your vision. Decide who might want to carry the pregnancy or provide the genetics, and discuss how many children you hope to have.

  2. Explore Donor Options Early: If you plan to use donor sperm or donor eggs, start looking at donor banks to understand the process and what traits matter most to you.

  3. Choose an Inclusive Clinic: Partner with a fertility team that explicitly supports LGBTQ+ family building. You need a doctor who understands the specific medical and emotional nuances of your journey.

Free Ovarian Reserve Testing

Understanding your reproductive health is the foundation of a successful fertility plan. We are proud to offer a free comprehensive Ovarian Reserve Testing package. This valuable screening includes an ultrasound and key hormone tests (AMH, FSH, LH, and Inhibin B) to give you a clear baseline of your fertility.
