Trans Options for Parenthood

Advanced Fertility Care welcomes transgender men and women to our practice. We are here to help you as you start or continue your journey to becoming a parent.

Male to Female Transgender Patients

For male-to-female transgender patients, parenthood is achieved through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) using donor eggs (fresh or frozen) along with the patient’s own sperm, a partners sperm or donor sperm and a gestational carrier. Current Arizona law mandates that the egg donor and the gestational carrier cannot be the same women.

Patients who are in the process of transitioning to a female should contact our office before under-going hormonal therapy or surgery in order to cryopreserve sperm.

Female to Male Transgender Patients

For female-to-male transgender patients, parenthood is achieved in using the patient’s own eggs or donor eggs along with a partners sperm or donor sperm and, if preferred, a gestational carrier. Depending on the situation, Artificial Insemination (IUI) can also be used with donor sperm or a partner’s sperm.

Patients who are in the process of transitioning to a male should contact our office before under-going hormonal therapy or surgery in order to freeze oocytes (eggs) for future use.
