Exceptional Outcomes
The LGBTQ+ Family Building Process
Set Up a Consultation to Learn More About Your Options
The first step in your family building journey at Reproductive Specialists of New York is an initial consultation and fertility health screening. There, you’ll meet with one of our fertility experts to discuss your family building goals, and conduct diagnostic testing to evaluate your (and your partner’s if applicable) fertility health. This testing is based on your (and partner’s) fertility potential, and may include bloodwork, an ultrasound, and/or a semen analysis, if appropriate. Once this testing is completed, you will work in partnership with your physician to develop a family building plan unique to your goals.
Collaborate with Your RSNY Care Team
LGBTQ+ family building that requires the use of donor eggs, donor sperm, or a gestational carrier introduces many variables into the fertility journey, including the donor gamete selection process, legal and financial agreements, and the concept of future disclosure to offspring. The team at Reproductive Specialists of New York is here to help you navigate the process. Your dedicated RSNY care team will include your physician, a donor tissue specialist, a genetic counselor, a psychologist, and several nurses, coordinators, medical and administrative assistants, all of whom are here to help guide you along your unique path to parenthood using donor eggs and/or sperm.
Determine the Right Path to Parenthood for You
There is no “One-Size-Fits-All” approach to family building, and LGBTQ+ family building is no exception. The embryo creation and embryo transfer process will depend upon a variety of factors you will discuss and select in partnership with your physician and care team. Does your family building journey require Donor Sperm + You Egg? Donor Sperm + Your Partner's Egg? Your Sperm + a Donor Egg? Your Partner's Sperm + a Donor Egg? Donor Eggs + Donor Sperm? Will you, your partner, or a gestational carrier be carrying the pregnancy? Every path to parenthood is different and we’re here to help determine what path is right for you.
