Gay men choosing parenthood through assisted reproduction: medical and psychosocial considerations.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To medically and psychologically assess gay men seeking parenthood through assisted reproduction and to provide guidelines for the assessment. DESIGN:Qualitative observational study. SETTING:Academic medical center. PATIENT(S):Thirty gay males (15 couples) presenting for assisted reproduction using an oocyte donor and a gestational carrier. INTERVENTION(S):Semistructured interview and medical evaluation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Determination of psychological and medical eligibility for treatment. RESULT(S):The average age of men was 38.4 years. All couples were in a committed relationship and had been together for an average 6.4 years. All met medical and psychological criteria for acceptance. CONCLUSION(S):Gay men increasingly choose fatherhood through assisted reproduction. Counseling these couples on the medical and emotional demands of in vitro fertilization with a gestational carrier and an oocyte donor is a vital component of pretreatment preparation.
