How Our Nebraska Fertility Clinic
Can Help You Grow Your Family
At Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine, we believe everyone deserves the chance to grow their family no matter their sexual orientation. Our LGBTQ+ family planning program offers a variety of specialized services to help you achieve your dreams of parenthood based on your needs, preferences, and desired outcomes. Our fertility doctors can help you:
Choose the Best Plan for You
Working with experienced fertility doctors like Dr. Gustin, Dr. Constance, and Dr. Weedin, allows you to make an informed decision on which form of family building best suits your needs. You and our fertility doctors can go over a variety of donor and artificial insemination options that are now available and decide which will facilitate your desired outcome.
Have a Biological Connection
No longer is adoption the only option for gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender couples. Through modern family-building techniques such as surrogacy, gestational carriers, and in vitro fertilization (IVF), you will be able to see aspects of yourself in your child as they grow.
Choose Your Donor
Whether you opt to have a surrogate, egg donor, or sperm donor, you and your partner will be able to choose who that person is. If you don't have a friend or family member in mind, our Omaha, Nebraska, fertility clinic has access to a network of highly qualified donors and surrogates allowing you to choose the healthiest, most qualified candidates.

Options for Two Intended Fathers
For gay couples, we can assist you to design a uniquely tailored family building plan including a gestational surrogate, egg donor, and IVF.
Gestational Carriers
Gestational surrogates are women with no genetic relationship to the child. You can choose a trusted friend or one of our highly-qualified candidates from an outside agency. Our clinical team will screen your carefully selected gestational carrier and provide all necessary medical care throughout the process.
Egg Donors
The egg donor can be a friend or family member. However, if you prefer, we can also arrange for an anonymous egg donor screened by us or a chosen egg donor agency. We thoroughly screen all anonymous oocyte donors in advance.
IVF
IVF is an essential part of growing your family with the help of a gestational surrogate. After fertilization in our andrology laboratory, the embryo will be transferred into the gestational carrier's hormonally prepared uterus.
Options for Two Intended Mothers
Lesbian couples have a variety of choices when it comes to family planning, and our providers can help you choose a treatment that suits your unique needs and goals.
Sperm Donors
You have the option of choosing a known sperm donor. Our team will provide all needed screening, specimen processing, and storage of the donor sperm. You also have the option of obtaining anonymous donor sperm from an agency. The agencies we work with conduct testing and provide information regarding the ethnicity, education, and personality traits of the donor.
Reciprocal IVF
For partners who both want to contribute genes to their children, reciprocal IVF allows one partner to donate her egg while the other partner carries the embryo. Once the embryos are ready for implantation, they can be returned to the uterus of either partner or a gestational surrogate.
IUI
Intrauterine insemination (IUI), can help promote egg fertilization by introducing sperm directly into the uterus. This is the most basic approach for lesbian couples. The sperm is placed in the uterus according to your menstrual cycle and the best time for fertilization.
Egg Donors
Our practice screens young women wishing to be anonymous egg donors. Our team will be happy to help guide you through the process. You may also choose to work with an agency that locates potential egg donors. All donors will be thoroughly screened before the IVF cycle.
Options for Transgender Persons
Many of the options above are effective for transgender individuals as well. We can help design a plan involving artificial insemination, IVF, IUI, egg donors, sperm donors, or surrogacy to meet your needs and help start your family.
Important Note
About Sperm Donors
Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine is not a sperm bank. We do not offer payment for direct sperm donations.

The Process
Of Family Planning
Although each family building plan is unique, there are typical steps you and your partner can expect to take with our clinic.
"Our team will help you feel at ease and informed throughout the entire family-building process"
Consultation
The first step to starting your family planning is to schedule a consultation with our experienced fertility experts. We will review your medical history, goals, and options for your family-building plan.
Choosing Your Option
After you have discussed your medical history and goals with one of our professionals, they will recommend which option they think would work best for you to meet you and your partner's desired outcome.
Choosing Your Surrogate
You and your partner can choose from our curated list of surrogates, work with an outside agency, or choose a family member or friend to be your gestational carrier.
Choosing Your Donor
Similar to the surrogate process, if you are looking for an egg or sperm donor you can choose one of our anonymous donors, or, if you have a family member or friend you would like to be genetically involved, you can ask them to be your donor.
IVF or IUI
After selecting your donor, you can then begin the process of preparing for artificial insemination. If you choose IVF, the eggs will be fertilized in our state-of-the-art laboratory. For lesbian couples who choose IUI, you will work with our doctors to determine the best time for fertilization.
Pregnancy
Our Omaha, NE, team will keep you informed and let you know if the pregnancy was successful. We will be with you every step of the way to answer any questions and offer our support during this exciting time of you growing your family.
