Pride Month: Family Building Options for the LGBTQIA+ Community
At the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) in New York City, we know that there is no single path to parenthood. During Pride Month, we proudly recognize and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples who are on their family-building journeys.
As a fertility center based in Manhattan, CHR works with patients from across New York City, the U.S., and around the world who are seeking personalized reproductive care in a welcoming and inclusive environment. We understand that LGBTQIA+ family building often involves unique considerations, and our team is committed to helping patients navigate every step with compassion and expertise.
Depending on each patient’s goals, family-building options may include:
- IVF and donor conception
- Reciprocal IVF for female couples
- Gestational surrogacy
- Fertility preservation before gender-affirming treatment
- Egg freezing and embryo banking
- Fertility evaluations for individuals and couples planning future parenthood
CHR has long been recognized for its individualized approach to fertility care, particularly for patients with complex reproductive histories or diminished ovarian reserve. We believe every patient deserves a treatment plan that reflects their unique circumstances and family goals.
This Pride Month, we celebrate the diversity of families and reaffirm our commitment to providing inclusive fertility care for the LGBTQIA+ community here in New York City and beyond. To start your personalized path to parenthood, you can contact us by phone or schedule an appointment online at your convenience.
From all of us at CHR, Happy Pride Month!
