FCLV has become an Oasis of Hope by offering LGBTQ fertility treatments

The Fertility Center of Las Vegas (FCLV) believes that everyone deserves the chance to have a family, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender expression. This is why our Las Vegas fertility center offers a wide variety of LGBTQ fertility treatments to our patients.

As you get started on your path to parenthood with the FCLV team, your doctor will take the time to learn more about your family building goals and budget. He or she will also take your medical history and order comprehensive testing to identify whether any fertility challenges exist. Using this information, your fertility doctor will work with you to develop a customized LGBTQ family building plan for you.

We offer many fertility treatments for lesbian couples, including IUI and IVF

When two women want to become mothers, our Las Vegas fertility center helps guide them through all their family building options, which range from intrauterine insemination (IUI) to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- IUI, also known as artificial insemination, involves inserting washed and prepared sperm into the uterus of the woman who will carry the pregnancy. Depending on your needs, you may take fertility medications as part of IUI.
- IVF is a highly effective, multi-step process that requires a woman to take fertility medications for ovarian stimulation and undergo an outpatient egg retrieval procedure. Our team will fertilize her eggs with sperm in the IVF lab and her doctor will transfer one of the resulting embryos.
- Reciprocal IVF allows both partners to take part in the fertility journey. One woman will provide her eggs and the other woman will undergo the embryo transfer and carry the baby.
Keep in mind that each of these LGBTQ fertility treatments will include the use of donor sperm. Our team can guide you through the process of selecting a donor, regardless of whether you opt to go through a sperm bank or rely on someone you know to be your donor.
Gay men can welcome a baby with help from an egg donor and a surrogate

Our Las Vegas fertility center helps gay couples with LGBTQ family building. This process requires an IVF cycle with an egg donor and a surrogate.
- The egg donor will take fertility medications to stimulate egg production in her ovaries. She will then undergo an outpatient egg retrieval procedure. Our team will then fertilize these eggs with sperm from you or your partner.
- Your fertility doctor will transfer one of the resulting embryos to your gestational surrogate’s uterus. She will carry the pregnancy and deliver the baby for you.
It’s important to know the law requires that the egg donor and the gestational surrogate be two different women. This is to avoid both legal and ethical issues with third party reproduction.
Transgender patients can explore several LGBTQ fertility treatments

Our Las Vegas fertility center works with transgender patients who want to pursue LGBTQ family building. There are two separate paths you can take to welcome a baby, including fertility treatments and fertility preservation before having surgery or taking hormones.
- When it comes to fertility treatments, the options vary depending on whether you’re a transwoman or a transman. Transwomen may need to take oral Clomid or hCG injections to stimulate sperm production for treatments like IUI or IVF. As for transmen, doctors typically prescribe fertility medications to help the body start producing eggs again. Sometimes, patients also need to pursue IUI or IVF.
- Freezing eggs, sperm or embryos is a great way to protect your future fertility before beginning the medical process of transitioning with surgery or hormones. This process is the same as it would be with a cisgender patient who is pursuing fertility preservation.
