Fertility Care for All: What Inclusive Support Looks Like

by

Everyone Deserves a Path to Parenthood

At Mount Sinai Fertility (MSF), we believe that every person deserves access to compassionate and inclusive fertility care.

For many 2SLGBTQIA+ people, trying to conceive can feel overwhelming.

You might ask yourself:

Will I be respected and understood?

  • Does this clinic know how to support people like me?
  • Are my options the same as anyone else’s?

At MSF, the answer is yes. You are welcome here. And your journey matters.

Whether you’re considering IVF, IUI, egg freezing, or just beginning to explore your options, we are here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Using Gender-Affirming Language and Inclusive Intake Processes

The language we use matters. It shapes how people feel when they walk through our doors, or visit our website for the first time.

That’s why MSF takes the time to:

  • Use gender-inclusive language
  • Ask for your correct name and pronouns, and use them respectfully
  • Recognize all family structures

From your first phone call to your treatment plan, you’ll see and hear that this is a space where everyone is treated with dignity and care.

Personalized Care for Trans and Non-Binary Patients

Everyone’s fertility journey is different. And for trans and non-binary individuals, there can be unique considerations.

At MSF, we offer:

  • Fertility preservation (such as egg or sperm freezing) before medical transition
  • Treatment options that work with your goals, including IUI, IVF, Reciprocal IVF, surrogacy, and donor services

We understand that these conversations can be deeply personal. Our team is trained to listen first, answer with empathy, and build a plan that reflects your family planning vision.

Training Our Team to Be Truly Inclusive

Inclusive care doesn’t happen by accident. It takes commitment, education, and action.

At MSF, we continuously train our staff to:

  • Recognize and reduce unconscious bias
  • Deliver informed comprehensive medical care that is compassionate and inclusive.

We partner with our 2SLGBTQIA+ advisory group to ensure our clinic stays accountable and responsive. And we actively seek feedback from our patients, because feedback helps us grow.

Inclusive Fertility Care Is Healthcare

Fertility care is an important part of healthcare. And yet, 2SLGBTQIA+ people have historically faced barriers when trying to access it.

At MSF, we believe in:

  • Equal access to care, regardless of gender or sexuality
  • Removing stigma and assumptions from fertility care
  • We’re proud to stand with our 2SLGBTQIA+ patients, not just during Pride Month, but every day.

Let’s Build the Future, Together

Your identity and goals are important. And your path to parenthood deserves to be met with respect, expertise, and hope.

At Mount Sinai Fertility, we’re ready to support you with our full range of fertility services.
