Are you an LGBTQ+ individual or same-sex couple dreaming of parenthood? Join Thérapie Fertility and GCN for an informative webinar on key topics relevant to LGBTQ+ people and same-sex couples looking to embark on their parenthood journey.
Thérapie Fertility has been at the forefront of reproductive health for three years now, and they’re gearing up to celebrate their third birthday this July 25. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and a compassionate team, Thérapie Fertility offers a comprehensive suite of services: Reciprocal IVF, Egg Freezing, Sperm & Embryo Freezing, and fertility testing.
Recognising the diverse needs of modern families, Thérapie Fertility is dedicated to offering personalised care that respects and supports each patient’s journey. There are additionally 3 satellite clinics nationwide that their patients can use to reduce travel to Carrickmines where they offer services to make the fertility journey easier for our patients based around Ireland.
The clinic offers an array of inclusive services specifically designed to help same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ individuals achieve their dreams of parenthood. Among these services is Reciprocal IVF, a beautiful option for same-sex female couples who wish to share the biological roles of parenthood. In this process, one partner provides the eggs while the other carries the pregnancy, allowing both to be intimately involved in the creation and nurturing of their child. Thérapie Fertility boasts outstanding Reciprocal IVF pregnancy rates for same-sex female couples, which are 59.5% clinical pregnancy (FHB) per embryo transferred.

Their compassionate team ensures that every step, from initial consultation to treatment and beyond, is handled with the utmost care and respect, reflecting their commitment to making fertility treatment accessible and supportive for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Join us on July 31 at 6:30pm via Zoom for an informative webinar hosted by Thérapie Fertility in collaboration with GCN. This event will focus on key topics relevant to the LGBTQ+ community, including shared motherhood, egg freezing, and various family-building options for same-sex couples.
