Same Sex Couples

I believe passionately that same sex couples should be able to fulfil their dream of becoming parents and cared for in a safe, friendly and supportive environment. I dedicate time getting to know my gay and lesbian patients, understanding what’s important to them and ensuring that together we create a treatment program that’s right for them and will give them the greatest chance of having a baby.

The two types of treatment I typically recommend for lesbian couples are intrauterine insemination (IUI) and IVF. Both of these treatments will require the use of donor sperm.

Lesbian couples can have options of who’s eggs they will use and who will be the carrying the baby. Intra-couple egg swapping is where the eggs from one partner are used to make embryos that are then transferred into the other partner.

For gay couples surrogacy would typically be recommended.
