Toronto reciprocal IVF clinics
Reciprocal IVF for same-sex female couples — one partner provides eggs, the other carries.
Reciprocal IVF is the IVF protocol most associated with same-sex female couples: one partner provides the eggs through stimulation and retrieval; the other receives the resulting embryo and carries the pregnancy. The clinical work is straightforward; the operational distinction is that reciprocal IVF involves two synchronized patients, two charts, and two cycle plans. The Toronto clinics with mature reciprocal IVF programs handle this synchronization smoothly. TRIO Fertility has the most established reciprocal IVF program in the city.

How to pick a Toronto reciprocal IVF clinic
Workflow maturity is the headline factor. Ask the clinic to walk you through a typical reciprocal IVF cycle plan: how they synchronize the two partners' cycles, who handles each partner's monitoring.
Donor sperm coordination matters because every reciprocal IVF cycle involves donor sperm. Ask which banks the clinic works with.
OFP funding works the same as any IVF cycle. The egg-providing partner is typically the OFP-funded patient.
