The ABC of IUI and IVF

Kids & Family, Science & Medicine, Sexuality

Reforms have given equal access to lesbian couples & single women to a range of fertility treatments in Victoria, without being ‘medically infertile’.

So, which fertility treatment is best for you?

Fertility specialist, Dr Anne Poliness, joins the Family Matters team to answer all our serious (and silly) questions on this topic.

Some of the questions include:

• What is the difference between IUI and IVF?
• What impact does age have on your fertility options?
• What impact does the donor’s age have on conception?
• How does a lesbian even know she’s fertile?
• What is sperm washing? (yes, a serious question)
• Does chugging cough syrup or keep your legs in the air for 20 minutes, really increase your chance of conception?

For more information about fertility options or if you want to get in touch with Dr Anne, head to http://www.rainbowfertility.com.au/
