Hello Aspiring Parents!
As a seasoned and double board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility (REI) specialist, I understand the path to parenthood can be an emotional roller coaster ride, filled with moments of joy, despair, hope, and uncertainty. Working at the Pacific Fertility Center of Los Angeles (PFCLA), my passion is to help people build their families. I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of individuals and families through fertility treatment and fertility preservation. Today, I want to focus on an important topic: LGBTQ+ fertility options.
Starting a family is a profoundly personal decision. For LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, the journey can be filled with additional obstacles and considerations. Let's delve into some crucial points:
Welcome to a world where dreams become a reality, families are built with love, and science and compassion meet.
For HIV+ individuals considering parenthood, there are a few additional factors to bear in mind during the IVF process, and below are just a few to keep in mind.
I hope that some of these insights into the world of LGBTQ+ fertility options bring comfort in knowing all the possibilities you have to begin your journey. Remember, everyone deserves the chance to build a family, and we're here to help make that dream come true.
