Pride Month: Fertility Care for the LGBTQ+ Community
Pride Month: Fertility Care for the LGBTQ+ Community

At Reach, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to build the family of their dreams. We are committed to providing inclusive, compassionate, and comprehensive fertility care tailored to the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Understanding the diverse family-building paths within this community is central to our approach, and we aim to support every individual and couple with personalized care and the latest reproductive technologies.

Fertility care for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples often involves specific challenges and considerations that differ from those of heterosexual couples. Whether it's a lesbian couple seeking sperm donation, a gay couple exploring surrogacy, or a transgender individual looking to preserve fertility before gender-affirming treatment, our clinic is equipped to handle these diverse needs with sensitivity and expertise.

Lesbian Couples: For lesbian couples, fertility treatment typically involves sperm donation and may include intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Our clinic offers a range of sperm donor options, including anonymous and known donors, ensuring that couples can make informed and comfortable choices. We also provide support for reciprocal IVF, where one partner's eggs are fertilized and implanted in the other partner's uterus, allowing both partners to participate biologically in the pregnancy.

Gay Couples: Gay couples often pursue family building through surrogacy and egg donation. This journey involves selecting an egg donor and a gestational carrier. Our clinic collaborates with reputable surrogacy agencies and egg banks to provide a seamless and supportive process. We guide couples through the legal, medical, and emotional aspects of surrogacy, ensuring they feel confident and supported at every step.

Transgender Individuals and Couples: For transgender individuals, fertility preservation is a crucial consideration, particularly before starting hormone therapy or undergoing gender-affirming surgeries. Our clinic offers fertility preservation options such as sperm banking, egg freezing, and embryo freezing. We provide a respectful and affirming environment where transgender individuals can discuss their reproductive goals and receive personalized care.


Reach offers a wide range of services designed to support the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community including:

  • Fertility Assessments: Comprehensive evaluations to understand fertility status and develop personalized treatment plans.
  • Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Including IUI, IVF, and donor conception options.
  • Surrogacy Coordination: Assistance with finding and working with surrogates and egg donors.
  • Fertility Preservation: Options for freezing eggs, sperm, and embryos to ensure future reproductive possibilities.
  • Legal and Psychological Support: Guidance on the legal aspects of third-party reproduction and emotional support through counseling services.

Building a family is a deeply personal and meaningful journey, and we are honored to be part of that process for our LGBTQ+ patients. Our commitment to providing exceptional, inclusive fertility care means that we are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you are just beginning to explore your options or are ready to start treatment, our clinic is here to help you achieve your family-building dreams.
