Your Options in Third-Party Reproduction

①

Donor Sperm

(for IVF or IUI)

  • Used by single women, same-sex female couples, or heterosexual couples with male infertility.
  • Donors are carefully screened for genetic, medical, and psychological health.

②

Donor

Eggs

  • Ideal for women with diminished ovarian reserve, genetic concerns, or same-sex male couples.
  • Eggs from a screened donor are fertilized with sperm (partner’s or donor’s) and transferred via IVF.

③

Donor

Embryos

  • A compassionate option when both eggs and sperm are needed from donors.
  • These embryos are created by donors and gifted or shared through reputable programs.


④

Gestational Carrier (Surrogacy)

  • A gestational carrier carries the pregnancy for intended parents who cannot do so themselves.
  • Common for same-sex male couples, women with uterine factors, or medical complications.


A Note on Known Donors: Risks & Legal Considerations


Some couples or individuals explore using a known donor (a friend or family member or even a stranger found on Facebook) to conceive. While this may feel personal or they are trying to cut costs, it introduces significant medical, emotional, and legal risks:

  • Health Concerns: Known donors often skip rigorous medical and genetic screening, risking inherited diseases or infections.

  • Legal Complications: Without proper contracts, parental rights and financial responsibilities can become disputed, leading to lifelong challenges.
