Building Your Family at UR Vistahermosa: A Journey of Care and Support for the LGBTQ+ Community
Blog post written in collaboration with UR Vistahermosa Clinic
At UR Vistahermosa, we understand that starting a family is a deeply personal journey. Every story is unique, and that is why we offer compassionate, professional care tailored to the specific needs of every LGBTQ+ individual or couple who places their trust in us.
A safe and welcoming space to begin
We know the first step can feel overwhelming. That is why from your very first contact, our team provides warm, non-judgmental support. We listen carefully, answer your questions honestly, and help you explore all your options with transparency and kindness.
Fertility treatments designed with you in mind
At UR Vistahermosa, we use the latest assisted reproduction techniques, always with a focus on your individual situation and goals. Whether you are a single person, part of a same-sex couple, or have specific medical needs, we will work together to create a personalized plan that feels right for you.
Common Treatment Options for LGBTQ+ Patients
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI):
A straightforward procedure where donor sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation. - In Vitro Fertilization (IVF):
Eggs are retrieved and fertilized outside the body, then embryos are transferred to the uterus. IVF is a great option for those with fertility challenges or when donor eggs or sperm are involved. - Reciprocal IVF (ROPA Method):
Popular among lesbian couples, one partner provides the eggs while the other carries the pregnancy. This method allows both partners to be biologically and emotionally involved. - Donor Gametes: On-site sperm and donor bank combined with cutting-edge technology. We work with carefully screened, anonymous donors for both sperm and eggs, ensuring safety and confidentiality at every step.
Understanding Legal Aspects
Spain’s laws are among the most progressive in Europe when it comes to LGBTQ+ family rights, and UR Vistahermosa helps guide you through the legal landscape with clarity:
- Access to Treatment: Single women and same-sex couples have equal rights to fertility treatments.
- Parental Recognition: Both parents in a same-sex couple can be legally recognized from birth, providing equal parental rights and protections.
- Surrogacy: While surrogacy is not permitted in Spain, if you are considering surrogacy abroad, we can advise you on the process and help coordinate with legal experts to secure your parental rights.
