I am in a same sex relationship

We are proud to support as many people as we can on their journey to parenthood including those from the LGBTIQA+ community.

With access to donor sperm and assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, along with support groups and counselling services, we are proud to assist same sex female couples fulfil their dream of having a family. If you are considering this path to parenthood, we have a donor team who can guide you through the range of treatment options we have available for using donor sperm.

Same sex female couples have the option of egg sharing (also known as reciprocal IVF or partner IVF). With reciprocal IVF, the eggs of one partner are used in an IVF cycle to create embryos with a sperm donor. The embryo is then transferred into the uterus of the other partner. This means one partner will have the opportunity to carry and birth the baby and the other partner will be the genetic parent.

What treatment options are available?

Same sex female couples can access IVF treatments using donor sperm, with the option to use their own eggs or donor eggs. Common treatments include Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with donor sperm or a full IVF cycle involving donor sperm.

How do I access donor sperm?

At Adora Fertility you can choose to use sperm donated by someone you know or select one of our de-identified sperm donors imported from overseas.

How do I choose my sperm donor?

All investigative screenings and implications counselling must be completed and you must be cleared for treatment by your Fertility Specialist before choosing your sperm donor.
