Male Same-Sex Couples
Deciding to extend your family is a big decision, but it is also an exciting one.
Now that you and your partner have made the decision to have a baby, we can offer you a number of fertility treatment options that are designed to suit your specific needs. In the coming months you will both have some important decisions to make, but please be reassured that we will be here to help and guide you throughout your journey, every step of the way.
Starting your fertility journey
Fertility testing options
Fertility testing not only gives you answers, it can also help reassure you, give you peace of mind and help you decide if you want to start a family right now or preserve your fertility.
Fertility treatments
As a same-sex male couple, you will likely need some kind of fertility treatment intervention to help you and your partner realise your dreams of having a baby. You will also need donor eggs which can be donated by a known or unknown donor. We will guide you through both options. If you choose an unknown donor, we can help you find a suitable one through our innovative egg donor programme. Donor eggs can be fertilised by yours or your partner's sperm.
We are here to help. We offer a number of options which could be suitable for you and your partner and we will be there to help guide you throughout the entire process.
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
A treatment where eggs are fertilised by sperm in a lab, then transferred to the womb, offering hope to individuals or couples facing difficulties conceiving naturally.
IVF with Donor Embryos
A treatment involving the creation and use of embryos from frozen eggs and sperm, providing future opportunities for pregnancy and family building through advanced reproductive technology.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Sometimes conventional IVF needs a helping hand. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a lab technique that may be appropriate for you, if your sperm needs a bit of extra help to achieve successful fertilisation.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
A fertility treatment where sperm is placed directly into the womb during ovulation, helping to increase the likelihood of sperm reaching and fertilising an egg.
PGT-A (Genetic testing)
A screening method used during IVF to check embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, helping to select the healthiest embryos for transfer, enhancing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
