Female Same-Sex Couples

If you’re unsure about who will provide eggs and who will carry the pregnancy, we would advise both of you to have the following tests:

– Blood test to measure your ovarian reserve

– Blood tests to determine your thyroid levels

– Internal scan to check your uterus and ovaries.

Once you’ve both had positive results from these tests, you will have an extended consultation to discuss and plan your treatment.

Typically, treatment costs from £13,500, including donor sperm costs. We will provide you with a more detailed quote following your consultation.

If you would like to have treatment using your partner’s eggs, they would first need a blood test, followed by a consultation and screening tests.

Once accepted onto the programme, we charge a single, initial fee of £1,500.

This covers your partners preparation for treatment and the additional donor-screening tests that need to be undertaken to allow them to donate.

(In the unlikely event any of these tests exclude them from the programme, we are unable to refund this fee but will raise a credit note, which can be put towards further treatment as a fully self-funding patient).

You will need to pay your donor sperm costs and, if purchased from Bourn Hall, these are as follows:

Donor sperm reservation fee and first year’s storage for five vials – £420. (An annual storage fee of £420 after one year is applicable if any vials of donor sperm remain in storage on the anniversary of your reservation)
Donor sperm usage fee – £800.
There is also a partner transfer fee of £1,300 (to cover additional costs if you are receiving the embryo transfer as part of a shared motherhood arrangement).

All other elements of your treatment are free of charge.

These costs include up to one embryo transfer. For further frozen embryo transfers you would be charged at our normal FET package rate.

If you both want to egg-share, you will each be charged the £1,500 initial fee for your preparation for treatment, additional donor-screening tests, egg collection and medications, and the £1,300 partner transfer fee when you transfer your partner’s embryo.
