When it comes to growing your family, third-party reproduction can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! This approach involves using donor sperm, donor eggs, or even a gestational carrier to help you achieve your dreams of parenthood. Let’s break it down together.
Donor Sperm
For some folks, turning to donor sperm is necessary to start their family journey. This option is often recommended for individuals dealing with low sperm production or who don’t have a male partner—like single women, same-sex couples, or transgender individuals. No matter your situation, our specialists are here to support you. We can connect you with reputable sperm banks and guide you through the necessary steps before treatment begins. Choosing the right sperm donor is vital, and our team can help you understand the medical and genetic factors to consider. From there, we can assist with intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help you conceive.
Donor Eggs
Egg donation can be a great option for those who can’t produce eggs due to age or health issues. Unlike men, women are born with a finite number of eggs, and as they age, both the quantity and quality of these eggs decline. If your ovarian reserve is too low, donor eggs could be the answer you’ve been looking for. We’re proud to have our own donor egg bank, which means you can potentially begin your journey to pregnancy weeks after your consultation—no long waits or complicated timelines! This approach typically yields high success rates, especially since we recruit egg donors in their 20s when egg quality is at its peak. If egg donation sounds like it could be a fit for you, reach out to discuss your options.
Gestational Carriers
Gestational surrogacy is another avenue for those who can’t carry a pregnancy themselves. In this scenario, embryos created through IVF are transferred to a woman who isn’t biologically related to the baby. This option is often considered by those born without a uterus, individuals with serious health risks related to pregnancy, or couples who have faced multiple IVF failures. Our team has established fantastic partnerships with trusted surrogacy agencies to ensure a smooth process. We’ll help you find a surrogate who has a healthy pregnancy history and is a safe choice for you.
If you think any of these options could help you on your path to parenthood, don’t hesitate to explore more about third-party reproduction. You can find a helpful resource on donor insemination at the American Pregnancy Association, which provides great insights.

To sum it all up, third-party reproduction offers various paths to parenthood, whether through donor sperm, donor eggs, or gestational carriers. Our goal is to make this journey as smooth and supportive as possible since you deserve to realize your dream of family.
