Choosing the Right Fertility Clinic for LGBTQ+ Family Building
Starting a family is exciting, but it can also be nerve-wracking. For LGBTQ+ couples and individuals, it’s important to have support while navigating this life-altering journey. As we celebrate Pride Month, we want to emphasize the importance of finding a fertility clinic that has the experience, expertise, technology, and compassion to effectively serve LGBTQ+ aspiring parents.
Your Ideal Fertility Checklist
There are many fertility clinics throughout the country, so how do you know which one is best for your specific needs?
1. Inclusivity
The right fertility clinic shouldn’t just talk the talk — they should walk the walk. That means they don’t just say they work with LGBTQ+ couples and individuals, but they use inclusive language and have extensive experience helping LGBTQ+ aspiring parents build their dream families. A suitable clinic should also be well-versed in the legalities of LGBTQ+ fertility care within your specific state.
2. Advanced Technology
Ensure the clinic you go to invests in cutting-edge fertility technology. The technology commonly used in fertility clinics includes classic in vitro fertilization (IVF), preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), egg freezing, and storage of donated eggs and sperm.
3. A Wide Range of Services
A reputable fertility clinic will offer a wide range of fertility services, ranging from basic, less invasive treatments like intrauterine insemination (IUI) to more advanced treatments like IVF. They should also be able to guide you through third-party reproduction, like finding an egg or sperm donor or a gestational carrier.
4. Expert Reproductive Specialists
The reproductive specialists at your fertility clinic should be highly educated, experienced, and respected in their field. They should have strong testimonials and a history of helping couples and individuals of all backgrounds.
5. Transparency
Your fertility clinic must prioritize transparency and honesty in its business practices. Fertility treatments range in price depending on the procedure or how many cycles you may need to achieve a successful pregnancy. Your clinic should be open about how each treatment works, how much they cost, and how you can access financial assistance or other support.
