Reciprocal IVF, or Partner IVF, is an option that allows both members of a same sex couple to be physically involved in their child’s conception. In reciprocal IVF, one partner supplies the eggs to be fertilized with donor sperm , while the other partner is the gestational carrier of the pregnancy.
Reciprocal IVF Chart Setup
The best way to set up a Reciprocal IVF cycle is by identifying the individual that is going to have their eggs retrieved as the egg provider. The other individual in this situation (in this case, the person who is going to have the embryo transfer), will be identified as the recipient.
NOTE: Previously the egg provider was required to be the primary patient and the recipient was required to be the partner on the chart. This is no longer the case as either patient or partner can be assigned the appropriate cycle type.
