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!

While I was not successful in conceiving at The Center for Human Reproduction, I would absolutely recommend them. As someone who may be considered a more complex case, CHR gave me hope during a time when I truly needed it most.First and foremost, everyone there is wonderful. Friendly, kind, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. Even the front desk staff greeted us by name almost daily, which made such a difference during an emotional process. Maria and Sonia were especially exceptional, and I am also grateful for Dr. Gleicher. He was realistic while still being compassionate, and I trusted his professional opinion and expertise.The only reason we are no longer with CHR is because we are from Texas, and after spending two months in New York for two IVF cycles, we decided to pursue treatment closer to home.Now that I have experienced another clinic firsthand, I can honestly say the overall experience at CHR is unmatched. The ultrasounds, bloodwork, communication, organization, and cohesive care all felt efficient and personalized.As an out-of-towner, I also appreciated their Upper East Side location. Walking through Central Park after appointments became part of our routine, and somehow made a difficult experience feel a little lighter.I will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and hope CHR gave us.
