We are a
female same-sex couple

If you and your partner wish to become parents, you may well be wondering about how to go about achieving your dream.

Information

What Are Some of Our Options？

You may go through a fertility clinic utilising a sperm donor (through the clinic or using a known recruited donor), from there you or your partner could go through IUI (intrauterine insemination/artificial insemination), or IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation).
There are also the options of sperm and egg donation or embryo donation through a fertility clinic.

Some clinics also offer reciprocal IVF, where one partner does IVF to stimulate and collect eggs and the other partner carries the embryo/baby, for some this is a beautiful way for both partners to feel a deeper connection, both being involved biologically in the creation of their child.
There are also adoption and surrogacy options, depending on your circumstances.

Sarah from ARTFam recently sat down with Rhiannon, a donor-conceived adult, who spoke about her upbringing and her thoughts on being donor-conceived which you may find insightful.
