Reciprocal IVF & Fertility for Lesbian Couples

Your conception journey will require many of the same procedures as it does for heterosexual couples. It comes with a unique set of decisions, extra steps, and legal and financial considerations.

Oma Fertility is a fully-inclusive fertility clinic for everyone, including LGBTQIA+ couples. At Oma, we understand that every person's fertility requirements are different, which is why our team makes them a part of your care plan, built into our internal processes, and streamlined by your care advocate.

Fertility options for Lesbian Couples:

Sperm Donation
Fertility treatment options for lesbian couples may include IVF with sperm donation. Work with our sperm bank partner to select the donor. After your selection, our team will help you to handle the sample. Your care advocate will guide you through every aspect of this process.

IVF with ICSI
Another fertility option for lesbian couples is IVF with ICSI. Your Oma team can help guide you in choosing one partner for both the egg retrieval and carrying the pregnancy, or in coordinating reciprocal IVF, in which one partner carries an embryo made with the other partner’s egg. You can opt for standard IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), during which a single sperm is injected into each egg.

Embryo Transfer
Lesbian IVF treatment can also involve embryo transfer. The doctor will meet with you to determine the best transfer plan. Quality embryos left over can be frozen for use in future IVF cycles.
