Co-in vitro fertilization (Co-IVF) is a fertility treatment which allows both partners in a same sex female couple to participate in the pregnancy process. One partner undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. After extraction of the eggs, her eggs are fertilized, and the resulting embryos are either transferred into her partner or analyzed using preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), frozen, and then thawed and transferred into her partner at a later date. Co-IVF creates a shared experience for lesbian couples by allowing them both to be active participants in the reproductive process. Same sex couples choosing to undergo Co-IVF generally have an excellent prognosis for successfully achieving a pregnancy.
