Yearly, thousands of same sex couples undergo fertility treatment in order to build families.  These procedures commonly involve 3rd-party agents such as surrogacy agencies, egg donor agencies and sperm banks.  The role of the reproductive health care worker is one of bringing all the pieces together, so that the journey toward building a family can be smoother so that all alternatives are reviewed to best help a couple achieve success.

An available option for a female couple is reciprocal IVF.  Reciprocal IVF represents the "sharing" of the two females in the reproductive process.  Simply put, one of the women provides the eggs while her partner carries the pregnancy.  This "couple" approach to building a family is a unique opportunity for both female partners to be involved.  One partner undergoes what is known in the field of ART as "ovarian stimulation" and surgical removal of her eggs (IVF), while the other partner's uterus is prepared to carry the newly formed embryo (partner's eggs with donor sperm).  It is important that prior to the start of the process, an appropriate sperm donor is selected.  It is usually recommended to acqire donor sperm from a reputable sperm bank that is approved by the American Association of Tissue Bank (AATB).  This ascertains that the sperm donor is medically and psychologically cleared and that the risk of the sperm carrying an infection to the baby or partner is minimal.
