Obviously, there are some particular challenges to becoming pregnant in a same-sex couple, but there are also a number of options and the process is much more visible today than it has been in the past. There are a number of options and choices for those in soon-to-be two-mom households.

Lesbian couples looking to become pregnant have three primary decisions to make:

Who will carry the pregnancy
Where will the sperm donation come from
What method of insemination will be used

Who will carry the baby is a matter of personal preference and physical health. Some woman have a stronger desire to carry a pregnancy than her partner, and she may be the best option, as long as her health and fertility workup also align with her interest. There are also insurance factors that may be an important financial factor.

Sperm donation also has a few options. Couples may choose to use sperm from someone they know personally, or they may choose to use a sperm bank, in which case couples will choose from a number of donor profiles and medical histories to find their perfect match.

Last, the method of insemination depends on the fertility profile of the mother who will carry the pregnancy. Insemination can occur at home or in a physician's office. Additionally, if one mother would like to provide the egg and the other mother would like to carry the pregnancy, IVF is an option.
