Writing exceptional parenthood stories
Creating uniquely beautiful families with pride
Beverly Hills Fertility believes that families, like babies, come in all shapes and sizes. It is our greatest pride to offer LGBTQ+ couples the options that will perfectly fit both their dreams and our mission—which is to aid in building families, as we both surpass gender restrictions, together.
Starting a Family
Overcoming norms Creating families in all forms
Beverly Hills Fertility understands the complexity and importance of the LGBTQ+ couples who seek a biological relationship to their child. At BHF, we believe that everyone has the reproductive right to seek specialized fertility treatments regardless of gender, race and status.
It is our aim to celebrate uniqueness and to create beauty and life over it. This, of course, can only be achieved if everyone is allowed in. That is your reproductive right. That is our pledge.
Let’s start your parenthood journey here.
Understanding LGBTQ+
Fertility Treatment Options
No matter who you are or what your relationship status is, you can be confident that you will experience excellent care from us. Your assigned care coordination team and physician at BHF will walk you through a comprehensive range of reproductive services, including fertility-related difficulties particular to LGBTQ+ patients’ needs
Growing a family becomes a reality with BHF, with the help of an egg, sperm, or embryo donation as needed. Simply said, we think that having a family is a right, and we will be there for you every step of the way, from the initial consultation through the post-conception period.
Exploring more treatment options
Our treatment options offered to the LGBTQ+ community usually include IUI or IVF with donor sperm, egg donation, and gestational carrier services. In addition, egg or sperm freezing (cryopreservation) is an option for people who want to postpone childbearing or undertake gender affirmation treatment. Our LGBTQ+ patients are guaranteed to have great possibility of creating families with the availability of efficient reproductive techniques at BHF.
It’s necessary to keep in touch with your fertility nurse and treatment planning team once you’ve decided on the best course of action for you. Depending on how you decide to proceed, more infectious illness tests may be necessary. This additional testing may be mandated by law and must be completed within a strict timeframe.
Lesbian Couples Fertility Treatments
In most cases, couples determine who will carry the pregnancy. This might be due to a personal preference or medical concerns. Some couples decide to share the responsibility of subsequent pregnancies. Blood testing to measure hormone levels and a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to check the health of the uterus and fallopian tubes will be performed on whichever spouse will carry this pregnancy.
Donation of sperm
It will also be necessary to pick donor for sperm. Though BFHC is not a sperm bank, we deal with several nationally accredited sperm banks and can assist you with your choices. Another possibility is to employ a known sperm donor, such as a friend or family member who is not biologically linked to the egg source. Regardless of whatever choice you select, we can assist and guide you throughout the process.
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
If the hormonal tests and hysterosalpingogram were normal, the donor sperm might be administered in intrauterine insemination. The sperm is delivered directly into the carrier’s uterus using a tiny catheter that goes through the cervix during this operation.
IVF
Lesbian couple’s IVF procedure is a little more difficult since the cycle can happen in a few different ways. The IVF cycle can be done in the usual way, with one spouse going through the full process but using donor sperm. Some couples decide that one spouse will supply the egg and the other will carry the pregnancy.
This is a more involved procedure. Both spouses will be tested and given medicine to help them conceive. The egg donor’s partner will also go through an egg retrieval operation. The eggs will be inseminated with donor sperm, and the embryos will be transplanted into the uterus of the other partner after they have matured.
Gay Couples’ Fertility Treatments
Gay men who want to start a family through reproductive treatments will consult with their doctor about the pros and cons of employing an egg donor and gestational carrier. Couples usually determine which spouse will donate sperm collectively. Some couples choose to fertilize half of the eggs with their own sperm. The embryo to be transferred might be chosen consciously or at random. The sperm donor will have his or her sperm tested for motility, volume, concentration, and morphology.
Donation of Eggs
Following that, the couple will meet with the BHF team to select an egg donor. You can pick among BHF egg donors, outside agency donors, or even a family member or close friend. The egg donor will be subjected to a thorough examination to determine her hormone levels and confirm that she is clear of illness.
If you’re confused how to choose an egg donor, whether anonymous or known, our fertility nurses can assist you.
Surrogacy
Finally, our staff will connect you with a gestational surrogacy service and attorney. A gestational carrier is a woman who bears a pregnancy for another partner but is not related to the kid biologically. A surrogate is a woman who bears the pregnancy as well as donates the egg. A gestational carrier, rather than a typical surrogate, is used usually in the United States.
It’s also feasible to use a friend or family member as a gestational carrier. We will work directly with you during this process, helping you through the benefits and drawbacks of each option so that it is as stress-free as possible.
IVF
The IVF treatment cycle will begin once you’ve found a gestational carrier, an egg donor, and a sperm supplier. The pre-cycle and cycle injectable drugs will be given to the egg donor to start the cycle. The eggs will be collected and fertilized in the laboratory with the chosen sperm once the donor is ready for egg retrieval. The resultant embryos will be developed further in the laboratory before being placed into the gestational carrier a few days later
Schedule an IVF Consultation
We understand that you are likely experiencing a variety of emotions regarding starting a family with the help of a fertility specialist. The first information we impart to new patients is that infertility is common and there can actually be several reasons for infertility in a person or a couple. This is why we start with a full workup, so we have a complete picture with which we can base our treatment plans.
Bringing home joy in two parallel lines
We do this every day, and we do it well.
By understanding you and your goals for starting a family, we can provide truly individualized care. We aim to guide you through the process so you can make informed decisions and feel confident throughout your treatment process.
