A Guide to Pre-conception and Fertility Planning | Same Wellness
Thinking about growing your family but not quite sure where to start? We've got you.
Our 41 page LGBTQIA+ Fertility Planning Guide breaks down the sometimes overwhelming world of fertility treatment into practical, easy to understand information, without (too much) confusing medical jargon.
What's inside?
Where to start and preconception testing
Sperm donors and donor conception
Home insemination, IUI, IVF and reciprocal IVF explained
Australian fertility costs, Medicare and payment options
Navigating the emotional side of fertility treatment
Protecting your mental health throughout the journey
Reflection activities and conversation starters to work through together
Created by Same Wellness Clinical Director Rochelle Logozzo and clinically reviewed by Endorsed Midwife Jaz Lane-Jones.
A little note.
This guide has been designed primarily for same-sex female and non-binary couples. While we've aimed to use inclusive, gender neutral language, some sections focus on couples and shared decision making. Solo parents may still find the information helpful.
Surrogacy isn't covered, and this isn't an exhaustive fertility resource. It's a practical starting point to help you understand your options, know what questions to ask and feel more prepared for the journey ahead.
Looking for personalised support?
This guide is designed for general education, helping you understand your options and know what questions to ask. It isn't a substitute for personalised medical advice.
If you'd like guidance specific to your circumstances, our Endorsed Midwife, Jaz, offers preconception appointments at Same Wellness. She can review your health history, discuss relevant screening and testing, and help you navigate your next steps based on your individual needs.
