Discover compassionate and inclusive fertility care at a New York City practice renowned for its expertise in LGBTQ+ family building. The Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) offers specialized support for gay, lesbian, transgender, intersex, and nonbinary individuals and couples. Led by esteemed fertility experts Dr. Norbert Gleicher and Dr. David H. Barad, CHR is dedicated to helping all families achieve their dreams of parenthood.
CHR offers tailored family-building solutions for single men and same-sex male couples. This typically involves selecting a gestational carrier, handling necessary legal preparations, and choosing an egg donor from a diverse selection. The CHR team then uses these egg and sperm donations to create embryos in the lab, which are later transferred to the chosen gestational carrier.
CHR provides several pathways to parenthood for single women and same-sex female couples. Couples can decide who will carry the pregnancy and whose eggs will be used. Some prefer for one partner to carry the child while the other contributes the egg with donor sperm sourced from trusted sperm banks or through "open" donation arrangements. Depending on individual circumstances, options like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be recommended.
For lesbian couples interested in reciprocal IVF, CHR provides a comprehensive solution. This process involves one partner providing the egg, which is fertilized with donor sperm. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the other partner's uterus for gestation. CHR understands the significance of this unique journey and offers tailored support to ensure a fulfilling and inclusive experience.
CHR delivers inclusive and specialized care to meet the specific needs of transgender individuals and couples. The program includes a range of family-building options, such as egg or sperm donation, IUI, IVF, and the use of gestational carriers, all customized to align with the individual's or couple’s goals.
CHR is committed to providing compassionate and respectful support to all members of the LGBTQ+ community as they navigate their family-building journey. The clinic fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment, ensuring that every step is tailored to your unique needs. To start your personalized path to parenthood, you can contact the clinic by phone or schedule an appointment online at your convenience.
