Everyone deserves the opportunity to grow their family with compassionate, expert fertility care. Pittsburgh Fertility is proud to support LGBTQIA+ family planning and fertility options for individuals and couples of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Through personalized, affirming treatment plans, our experienced team offers a full spectrum of fertility services – including reciprocal IVF for lesbian couples, third-party reproduction and fertility preservation – to help you build the family that reflects your vision and values.
Couples with two egg-producing individuals who wish to pursue parenthood may choose from a range of fertility options based on personal, medical, and family-building goals. Reciprocal IVF for lesbian couples is a popular and effective option for shared biological connection.
Our team can coordinate care with anonymous or known sperm donors and provide legal referrals when needed. For those wondering about costs involved with IVF or other fertility options, we offer financial counseling.
Same-sex male couples can choose third-party reproduction to pursue biologically related children. Pittsburgh Fertility offers inclusive, comprehensive, and supportive care through every step of the process.
If desired, eggs can be fertilized by sperm from both male partners to create embryos that are genetically related. One embryo is then typically transferred at a time into a gestational carrier. Surrogacy for LGBTQIA+ couples and individuals is supported through strong partnerships, legal coordination,and compassionate care.
LGBTQIA+ family planning and fertility care at Pittsburgh Fertility is inclusive of all gender identities. We offer tailored treatment and preservation options for patients pursuing parenthood before, during, or after gender-affirming care.
Our team takes the time to understand each patient’s goals, medical history, and identity to build a plan that affirms who they are and what family means to them.
