Fertility Treatment Options for Transgender Individuals
While we understand that every journey to parenthood is unique, below we’ve outlined a few common paths for single transgender family building to get you started.
IVF for Trans Men
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for Trans Individuals With Eggs
Trans folks who have eggs who are not taking testosterone and still have their own ovaries and uterus can also consider IVF treatment. Trans individuals choosing to pursue IVF will utilize a partner’s or donor’s sperm and undergo surgical egg retrieval. The eggs are fertilized by sperm in our embryology laboratory instead of inside the body. The embryos are then transferred back into the trans* individual's uterus in hopes of achieving a successful pregnancy. IVF is the most advanced and effective fertility treatment available today.
