Third party reproduction is treatment that involves the use of eggs, sperm or the uterus from someone other than the intended parent(s). Treatment involves a “third party.” Third party reproduction has become more common for many reasons. Treatment may seem complicated, but in reality the treatment is the same – the source of one or more parts of the treatment is different. Third party reproduction may be used by single women, couples, same sex couples, or single men. Island Reproductive Services has a team dedicated to helping you understand your options. We will speak to you about all aspects of treatment – medical, psychological, and financial – to help tailor a treatment plan right for you.
