At Bloom Fertility, we provide inclusive, accessible, and cutting-edge reproductive care to all individuals and families. As Atlanta’s exclusive INVOcenter, we are proud to offer INVOcell—an innovative, intimate, and cost-effective fertility treatment that is transforming the journey to parenthood for many, especially within the LGBTQ+ community.

What is INVOcell?
INVOcell is a groundbreaking alternative to traditional in vitro fertilization (IVF). Unlike conventional IVF, which requires fertilization in a laboratory setting, INVOcell utilizes the body as a natural incubator, allowing fertilization and early embryo development to occur within a small, medical-grade device placed inside the vaginal canal. This unique approach not only reduces laboratory costs but also creates a more natural and connected experience for prospective parents.

Why INVOcell is a Game-Changer for LGBTQ+ Families
For same-sex couples and transgender individuals looking to build their families, fertility treatments have often come with financial and logistical hurdles. INVOcell offers an affordable, convenient, and more intimate alternative to traditional methods, making it an ideal option for LGBTQ+ couples. Here’s why:

1. Reciprocal IVF: A Shared Journey for Lesbian Couples
One of the most meaningful aspects of INVOcell is its ability to facilitate reciprocal IVF, a process that allows both partners in a same-sex female couple to actively participate in the creation of their child. With reciprocal IVF using INVOcell, one partner provides the eggs, while the other carries the pregnancy, fostering a deep emotional and biological connection to the child. This unique experience allows both partners to be intimately involved in the pregnancy, making it an incredibly special journey for LGBTQ+ couples.  With INVOcell, either partner has the opportunity to carry the device for five days, regardless of whether they are the egg provider or intended gestational parent, allowing for a more inclusive and shared experience in the fertility journey!

2. A More Natural and Intimate Fertility Experience
INVOcell provides a fertility treatment that feels more organic and personal. Because fertilization and embryo development occur within the body rather than in a laboratory incubator, parents often feel more connected to the process. This is especially meaningful for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples seeking an experience that aligns with their values and desires for a natural conception.

3. Affordability and Accessibility
Fertility treatments can be expensive, and LGBTQ+ individuals often face additional financial burdens due to the need for donor sperm, surrogacy, or reciprocal IVF. INVOcell significantly reduces costs compared to traditional IVF by minimizing laboratory expenses. It provides an effective option for couples who may not have access to insurance coverage for fertility treatments, allowing more families to achieve their dreams of parenthood without the overwhelming financial strain.

4. An Alternative to IUI with Higher Success Rates
For many LGBTQ+ couples, intrauterine insemination (IUI) has traditionally been the first fertility treatment option. However, IUI can require multiple attempts, leading to increased costs over time. INVOcell offers a more effective solution with higher success rates, bridging the gap between IUI and conventional IVF. For couples looking for a better chance of success without the full expense of IVF, INVOcell provides an excellent alternative.

5. Reducing the Need for Hormonal Medication
INVOcell can often be performed with a lower dose of hormonal stimulation compared to traditional IVF, making it a gentler option for those who prefer a more natural approach. This is particularly beneficial for transgender individuals who may be seeking fertility preservation or conception options that align with their health and hormonal considerations.

Who is a Good Candidate for INVOcell?
INVOcell is an excellent option for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples who:
• Are looking for a fertility treatment that allows for greater intimacy and shared experience.
• Want a more affordable alternative to traditional IVF.
• Are interested in reciprocal IVF to allow both partners to be biologically connected to the pregnancy.
• Prefer a lower-intervention approach with reduced hormone use.
• Have a strong support system and are comfortable with an active role in their fertility journey.
