LGBTQ+ Family Building 101

Whether you’re exploring options to start a family, expand your current one, or just curious about the process, this event will provide valuable insights tailored to the LGBTQ+ community.

🏳️‍🌈 In honor of Pride Month, we're hosting a special in-person LGBTQ+ Fertility 101 event at Illume's Norwalk, CT office on Wednesday, June 26th at 6pm!

Join Dr. Mark Leondires and Dr. Laura Meyer as they walk us through fertility and family-building options for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. From IUI and IVF to reciprocal IVF, surrogacy, and the intricacies of third-party reproduction, we’ll explore all different paths to parenthood—and how to navigate each step.

We’ll also hear from some amazing Illume Fertility families as they share their journey to becoming parents.

✨ Whether you're just starting to research your options or actively planning your next step, this event is a great opportunity to learn, ask our experts questions, and connect with a supportive community.

What to expect:

  • A detailed presentation covering family-building options, including egg and sperm donation, IUI/IVF, reciprocal IVF, surrogacy, PGT, insurance, and financial considerations
  • A real patient story from an Illume Fertility family
  • Opportunities to ask questions and meet others on similar journeys
  • Light bites and refreshments
