Donor Sperm Fertility Treatments For Lesbian Couples & Single Women

Many of the people who use Semovo sperm donors to conceive are in same-sex relationships. Our sperm donors are committed to helping all people achieve their dream of a family, including single people and couples in the LGBT+ community.

Here’s an overview of your family building options using Semovo donor sperm. We can deliver our UK donor sperm straight to your clinic for your use:

IUI – Intrauterine Insemination

IUI involves inserting donor sperm directly into your womb to fertilise your egg. It can be performed in  a natural cycle, using the egg you ovulate, or with the help of fertility drugs if ovulation is irregular.

IUI is precisely timed by your fertility consultant to maximise your chance of pregnancy. It’s a minor procedure, performed in your fertility clinic’s theatre or procedure room. After a period of rest afterwards, you can go home. You’ll be able to take a pregnancy test around two weeks later.

IVF

IVF involves stimulating your ovaries so multiple mature eggs are produced. These eggs are collected during a minor procedure, then fertilised using Semovo donor sperm in the clinic IVF laboratory. Fertilised eggs are developed into embryos, and the best quality embryo is selected for transfer into your uterus in the hope it implants for pregnancy.

Any good quality remaining embryos left from your IVF cycle can be frozen and stored for future use, in case your IVF cycle doesn’t work, or you wish to grow your family.

Reciprocal/Partner IVF

Reciprocal or Partner IVF allows both you and your partner to be physically involved in the creation of your family.

One of you uses your eggs and Semovo donor sperm to conceive the embryos, while the other undergoes embryo transfer, carries the baby and gives birth. Reciprocal IVF – also known as ‘shared motherhood’ - is a very popular choice for same-sex couples that want to share the treatment experience.

Extending your family using your Semovo sperm donor

If you successfully conceive using a Semovo sperm donor, you may  have the opportunity to use the same sperm donor in future to grow your family, so your children are biologically-related.

Once your pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound scan – usually performed at around 6-7 weeks of pregnancy – you can check with Semovo if there are sufficient stocks of your chosen donor available to purchase more for a sibling in the future.
