Your goals shape the conversation
You may be exploring donor sperm or eggs, reciprocal IVF, or a gestational-carrier arrangement. Each path raises different medical, personal, and financial questions. You do not need to have all the answers before a first conversation. Explain who may be involved, what you have considered, and what matters most to you.
What your care may include
- Donor sperm and donor egg cycles use reproductive cells provided by a donor
- Reciprocal IVF, where one partner provides eggs and the other carries the pregnancy
- Gestational carrier (surrogacy) cycles involve another person carrying the pregnancy for the intended parent or parents
- Single-parent family building, with an evaluation and treatment plan shaped around your path
Preparing for a family-building consultation
- Bring relevant fertility results and treatment history for the people who will be involved in care
- Note questions about donor or carrier options, evaluation, and the treatment process
- Ask about expected costs, coordination, and any separate professional advice needed before treatment
Your visit and next steps
Start with a consultation about your goals and the medical steps that may fit. Your team reviews the evaluation and treatment options, then discusses timing and costs. Ask which additional legal or counseling resources you may need; requirements vary by the path you choose.
