Bringing a child into your life as a gay woman comes with unique challenges and considerations. Fertility treatments, donor selection, legal aspects, and emotional well-being all play a role in your journey. As a queer woman, I understand the complexities firsthand and am here to offer tailored fertility counselling that affirms your identity and supports your choices.

​

Why Fertility Counselling Matters

Fertility treatments can be emotionally and physically demanding. Counselling provides a safe, judgment-free space to navigate:

• The emotional impact of fertility treatments

• Relationship dynamics and shared decision-making

• Anxiety, stress, and coping strategies

• Navigating medical systems and advocating for your needs

• Processing grief and disappointment

​

Understanding Your Options

As part of counselling, I help you explore fertility options, including:

• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): Using a known or anonymous sperm donor

• IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation): Reciprocal IVF, where one partner provides the egg and the other carries the pregnancy

• Fertility preservation: Egg freezing for future family planning

• Legal and ethical considerations: Understanding parental rights and donor agreements

​

Queer-Centered Care

My approach is informed by lived experience and professional expertise, ensuring:

• Affirming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental support

• A focus on the unique medical and emotional aspects of LGBTQ+ fertility care

• Guidance on building a family in a way that aligns with your values and needs
