Egg Donation for Same-Sex Couples – LGBTQ+ Fertility Treatment Options at Ovoria
Thanks to major advancements in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), same-sex couples now have multiple options to grow their families. Whether you are a gay male couple or lesbian couple, Ovoria Egg Donor Bank provides a wide range of fertility solutions tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
Before beginning treatment, it is important for intended parents to consult with a fertility specialist to discuss their family-building goals. Following necessary genetic screenings, diagnostic tests, and health assessments, our team will help create a personalized fertility plan based on your circumstances.
Fertility Treatments for Gay Male Couples
IVF with a Gestational Carrier
For male couples, IVF with an egg donor and gestational carrier is the most common fertility solution.
-
The chosen egg donor undergoes hormonal stimulation and egg retrieval
-
Donated eggs are fertilised with sperm from one or both partners
-
Resulting embryos are transferred to a gestational carrier, who carries the pregnancy to term
This allows for a biological connection to one of the fathers. Unused embryos can be frozen for future use.
Surrogacy Options
There are two main types of surrogacy:
-
Traditional surrogacy – the surrogate provides both the egg and womb
-
Gestational surrogacy – the surrogate carries the embryo created from a donor egg and the father’s sperm
At Ovoria, we focus on gestational surrogacy, which is legally safer and more commonly accepted in many countries.
Fertility Treatments for Lesbian Couples
In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) with Donor Sperm
A popular option for female same-sex couples, in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) with donor sperm involves:
-
Hormonal stimulation of the chosen partner
-
Egg retrieval and fertilisation in the lab using screened donor sperm
-
Embryo development for 3–5 days
-
Embryo transfer into the uterus of the partner who will carry the pregnancy
This treatment enables both partners to be involved—one may provide the egg, and the other may carry the baby.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) with Donor Sperm
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is another effective treatment for lesbian couples. This involves:
-
Stimulating egg production
-
Injecting a single donor sperm directly into each mature egg
-
Culturing the resulting embryos
-
Transferring the embryo to the uterus
ICSI is often used when sperm quality or fertilisation rate needs to be maximized.
