- Shared Motherhood method is an option for female couples who wish to become mothers. It involves a treatment in which both partners are actively involved in achieving pregnancy through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)Here, we provide more details about this wonderful technique.
What is it ?
The name of the procedure comes from the words "reception of oocytes from the partner" and is considered a variation of IVF. This method expands the possibilities for female couples to create the family model they desire. Most importantly, it allows both partners to actively participate in motherhood.
In this procedure, one partner provides the eggs and is known as the "genetic mother" as she contributes her DNA. The other partner carries the pregnancy, being the "gestational mother." Typically, the egg donor is the younger woman because her ovarian reserve is higher. However, it's important to emphasize that the couple can decide who will perform each part of the process.
To achieve a pregnancy using this treatment, a sperm donor is required to provide the sperm for fertilizing the eggs. The couple can choose between using semen from a known donor or acquiring a sample from a donor of the sperm bank.
Step-by-Step of the Shared Motherhood method
- Ovarian Stimulation: The partner who provides the eggs undergoes hormonal treatment to stimulate her ovaries, aiming to retrieve as many eggs as possible.
- Egg Retrieval: When the oocytes have reached an adequate size, a follicular puncture is performed to collect mature eggs.
- Fertilization: Using donated sperm, the eggs are fertilized in the laboratory. The development of embryos is closely monitored until they reach the appropriate stage for transfer.
- Embryo Transfer: The partner who will carry the pregnancy follows a treatment to prepare for the reception and implantation of embryos in her uterus.
- Pregnancy Test: The final step too confirm the pregnancy.
