Thanks to advances in reproductive technology, there are fertility treatment options for same-sex male couples to have their child biologically related to them. The most common option is gestational surrogacy and using donor eggs. In this case, eggs from your donor will be fertilized via IVF using your or your partner’s sperm. Both partners will undergo routine testing to analyze sperm motility, volume, and concentration. You have the option of donor sperm if both partners’ sperm aren’t fertile. The resulting embryos will be transferred into your Surrogate mother’s uterus, and she will carry the pregnancy to term.

Egg donation and IVF and Gestational Surrogate:

2. Another option is to split that sperm between eggs to produce embryos for each partner.
Due to the regulations stipulated by the FDA, bloodwork may be needed when collecting the semen for the IVF procedure. Additionally, twp specific physical examinations will need to be carried out by your PCP. In case one or both of the partners are suffering from a transmittable disease, like HIV, you’ll be referred to a special laboratory for semen processing.
