LGBTQ Families FAQ

Can LGBTQ couples use donor sperm to start a family?

Yes. LGBTQ individuals and couples commonly use donor sperm through intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), reciprocal IVF, intrauterine insemination (ICI), or home insemination to build their families.

What is reciprocal IVF and how does it work?

Reciprocal IVF allows one partner to provide the egg while the other carries the pregnancy, creating a shared biological and emotional connection to the child.

How do we choose a sperm donor as an LGBTQ couple?

Choosing a donor involves reviewing medical history, genetic screening, physical characteristics, education, and personal traits. Many families also consider whether they prefer an exclusive or partially exclusive donor.

Are there support resources for LGBTQ families using donor sperm?

Yes. Many organizations, clinics, and sperm banks offer support groups, educational content, and community connections. Browse Cryobank America's Learning Center for helpful information.

Can we connect with other families who used the same donor?

Yes. Cryobank America offers a donor sibling registry called Cryobank America Circles. Clients will receive an invitation to join the platform as soon as they complete a birth report.

Are there financing options available for LGBTQ family building?

Yes. Cryobank America partners with PatientFi and Future Family to offer affordable financing options, including 0% interest plans and instant approvals of up to $50,000. We also offer flexible payment options at checkout, such as Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay.
