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!

Dr. Barad was and is amazing! He was personable and took the time to get to know us and initiated an interest in our story. He was kind and compassionate. He was transparent, but gentle. Our first consultation with him was a comfortable experience. I wish I would have been able to work with him years ago when we did our first IVF cycle. He helped bring the clarity and closure I needed. I feel very grateful and privileged to get to talk with him. I believe he and his colleague are doing a great work! May God bless them!

I just had such a wonderful appointment with Dr. Gleicher. He took his time, was extremely informative and I am very hopeful. So happy to have found them.

My wife said that despite of the fact her 1st IVF at this clinic was unsuccessful, every one was exceptionally kind and made her feel very comfortable. Dr Gleicher was very detailed in his testing and helped my wife discover conditions about herself that other RE's did not. She was happy with her experience.
