Shared Motherhood
Inclusive packages for queer families.
What is shared motherhood?
Also known as reciprocal IVF, shared motherhood is a treatment for same-sex female couples who want to have a baby with the help of a sperm donor. As the majority of same-sex female couples seeking fertility treatment are not infertile, they have good chances of pregnancy success with our IUI package, using donor sperm. However, the limitation of this treatment means that only one partner can be biologically involved with the conception and pregnancy.
With our Shared Motherhood IVF package, both female partners can be part of the process, enabling a truly shared motherhood journey right from conception. One partner donate her eggs to be fertilised with the donor sperm to create embryos, with the other partner carrying the baby.
Checking your fertility can help decide which partner takes which role
It is up to the couple as to whether they'd like to use their eggs or carry the baby. Our specialists can help to carry out our fertility diagnostics, which will help you to decide which partner donates their eggs, and which partner will carry the baby. Factors that may affect your decision include age, ovarian reserve, and the presence of any fertility issues.

Our approach is different
All inclusive pricing and as much at-home care as possible.
Our costs may look higher. But, you won’t get any surprises.
All-inclusive pricing for treatment means that the quoted price covers everything, including medications, monitoring, procedures, and any other necessary services.
You won't get any surprises or hidden costs later on. With other clinics, you may not include certain expenses upfront, so you could end up paying more than you expected.
Total cost: £9,500
All inclusive cost. No surprises.
Everything included, from appointments to medication
No unexpected payments
Pay in full or set up a plan

Frequently asked questions
What one full cycle means
A full IVF cycle consists of one episode of ovarian stimulation followed by egg collection for the biological mother and one transfer event of resultant embryo(s) for the gestational mother.
What’s not included
Donor Sperm
The package does not include donor sperm. This is something that Semovo, our trusted partner and UK-based sperm bank, can help with. We do accept donor sperm from a selection of other reputable sperm banks - please contact our team if you wish to use another sperm bank.
Other
The HFEA considers that there isn't enough evidence to support the efficacy of some "add-on" treatments such as time-lapse imaging or PGS, which is why we do not include them in our standard pricing packages. We also do not include non-routine tests such as Natural Killer Cells or DNA fragmentation, although if required we would be happy to arrange them for you at additional cost.
Refund Policy
If cycle is abandoned before egg collection refund due = £2000.
If cycle is abandoned after eggs have been collected and before embryo transfer refund due = £1500.
CONSULTATIONS:
If cancelled or rescheduled with more than 48 hours notice before your scheduled appointment, you will not be charged. If cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged in full for the consultation.
