Reciprocal IVF

Reciprocal IVF is a method of in vitro fertilization (IVF) that allows both partners of a lesbian couple to have a physiological connection to their baby.

In this scenario, the eggs of Partner A would be retrieved and inseminated with donor sperm. The resulting embryo(s) would then be transferred to Partner B's uterus in the hope that implantation will occur. Partner B would then carry the pregnancy and give birth to the baby.

Reciprocal IVF is also called partner IVF, partner-assisted reproduction or reception of oocytes from partner (ROPA).
