Becoming an LGBTQ+ parent
Whether you’re a same-sex couple, single, trans or non-binary person, co-parent or poly family seeking ways to become a parent, you deserve the best treatment, advice and support. There are many ways to become a parent today as an LGBTQ+ person, including:
Natural conception
Fertility treatment (IVF, IUI, ICSI)
Surrogacy
Using a donor
Co-parenting
Fostering and adoption
Before you start your journey, a fertility assessment can help define the best options for you, by checking the health of your sperm, eggs or gametes.

Funding options
Funding options for LGBTQ+ people are dependent on where you live.
Same-sex females may be required to fund between 6-12 rounds of IUI before they can have NHS-funded IVF
You'll need to meet other requirements for NHS funding, including BMI and smoking status
In some areas, trans and non-binary people can access NHS-funded fertility preservation
Surrogacy is not funded by the NHS, which includes treatment for the surrogate
