LGBTQ+ Family-Building Through Fertility Treatment: Your Path to Parenthood By Beverly Hills Fertility

Written by: Ting Chen

At Beverly Hills Fertility, we believe every individual and couple—regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity—deserves the opportunity to build a family. We are committed to honoring the diverse paths to parenthood within the LGBTQ+ community by providing personalized support and care to every individual and couple we serve.

This guide explores how LGBTQ+ families are built through fertility treatment, including options for egg and sperm donation, surrogacy, and key legal considerations—especially within California.

🏳️‍🌈 Fertility Options for LGBTQ+ Family-Building

Every LGBTQ+ family-building journey is unique, but many involve one or more of the following:

🧬 Egg Donation

Egg donation is often used by same-sex male couples, single men, or transgender women looking to build a biological family.

Options for Egg Donors:

  • 👩‍👩‍👦 Known donors: A friend or family member may donate eggs.
  • 🧾 Egg donor agencies/banks: Anonymous or identity-release options available.
  • ⏱️ Fresh egg donor cycles: Eggs are retrieved and fertilized in real time—typically higher success rates, but more coordination required.
  • ❄️ Frozen donor eggs: Faster and more convenient, but with a slightly lower success rate on average.

At Beverly Hills Fertility, our third-party team helps guide you through the egg donation process and supports you in choosing the right path—whether working with an agency, donor bank, or known donor.
