IUI for Lesbian Couples

A welcoming, supportive path to parenthood with donor sperm insemination

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with donor sperm is an effective and affordable option for lesbian couples who want to start or grow their family. At Palm Beach Fertility Center, we provide compassionate, inclusive care tailored to your unique journey to parenthood.

IUI involves placing carefully prepared donor sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation, significantly increasing the chances of conception. This treatment is less invasive and more affordable than IVF, making it an excellent first-line option for many couples.

The IUI Process for Lesbian Couples

Choosing a Sperm Donor

Select a donor from a reputable sperm bank. We'll guide you through the process and help coordinate donor sperm delivery to our facility.

Cycle Monitoring

Track ovulation through ultrasounds and blood work to determine the optimal time for insemination. Some couples use natural cycles, while others benefit from fertility medications.

Insemination Procedure

On the day of ovulation, the donor sperm is prepared in our lab and gently placed into the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is quick, painless, and requires no anesthesia.
