Comprehensive Fertility Services for LGBTQ+ Families
To help ease the unique challenges and concerns that LGBTQ+ patients may face, here is a simple overview of our fertility options and how CFF can support your family-building plans.
Third-Party Reproduction
The use of a sperm donor, gestational surrogate, and/or egg donor, is known as third-party reproduction. With our extensive network of third-party reproduction professionals, CFF can help you navigate choosing a qualified surrogate and/or donor who meets your family-building needs. CFF can also assist with legal arrangements and coordination required for third-party reproduction.
IVF
Once an embryo is created in the lab, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is required for implantation. Unfortunately, IVF may not always work right away. It is common for many to find the IVF process emotionally and mentally challenging. At CFF, we can help you navigate your mental health with professionals sensitive to the unique challenges of LGBTQ+ family building.
