Reciprocal IVF vs. donor insemination, what's better?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).
Last Update: 08/24/2018

It is not a matter of choosing one over the other, but about considering the pros and cons of each option. Usually, women in a lesbian relationship are recommended to start with IUI and after 3-6 failed cycles, they are recommended to move to IVF, as higher success rates are expected to be reached.

However, a couple may wish to undergo this process in order for both women to participate in the pregnancy actively. It is their choice.
