Female Couples: Paths to Parenthood

For female couples who wish to become parents, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) now offers several safe and regulated options to help fulfill their dream of building a family.

Thanks to scientific advancements and a growing culture of inclusion, it is now possible to access personalized treatments that allow both partners to play an active role in the conception process.

Fertilization with Donor Sperm

The most common treatment for female couples is heterologous fertilization with donor sperm. In this case, one partner undergoes in vitro fertilization (IVF or ICSI) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) using sperm from a selected donor.

The donor may be anonymous or identifiable, depending on the laws of the country and the policies of the fertility clinic.

All sperm samples come from certified sperm banks that perform rigorous medical, genetic, and compatibility screenings.

Reciprocal IVF or the ROPA Method

A particularly meaningful option for female couples is Reciprocal IVF, also known as the ROPA method (Reception of Oocytes from Partner). With this technique, one partner provides the eggs, while the other carries the pregnancy.

The ROPA method allows both partners to share the motherhood journey in a tangible way: one contributes genetically, and the other biologically.

It is an increasingly popular choice among couples who wish to experience parenthood as a truly shared process, strengthening their emotional and family bond from the very beginning.

Donor Selection and Transparency

Female couples can access detailed donor profiles that include medical, genetic, phenotypic, and biographical information, in full compliance with privacy and anonymity regulations.

Depending on the country’s legislation, some clinics also offer the possibility of choosing open or identifiable donors, allowing the future child, once of legal age, to access information about their genetic origins.

A Shared and Conscious Journey

Each fertility journey for female couples is designed individually, respecting both reproductive health and the couple’s personal values.

Medical and psychological support play a crucial role in helping patients navigate every stage of the process — from choosing the clinic to defining the most suitable treatment.

The goal is to give both partners the opportunity to fully experience motherhood, in an environment of care, professionalism, and respect.
