Alternative Families have been our special interest for more than a decade when we began providing fertility treatment to lesbians and single women. So it is a privilege for the London Women’s Clinic to be the headline sponsor of the Alternative Families Show 2011. Following the success of last year’s show in which the LWC was also a sponsor, the 2011 show promises to be even bigger and better. 


Treating every woman


We have been treating lesbian couples and single women wanting to start a family for more than 10 years, and indeed we were one of the very first clinics in the UK to do so. In this time we have helped more than 2000 single and lesbian women in their wish to have healthy babies. Our caring and supportive medical staff are committed to offering all our patients the best chance of having a baby.

 

Largest sperm bank in Britain



The majority of patients using our sperm bank are single or lesbian women. We now run one of Britain’s largest sperm banks and, while we do have a large stock of donor sperm, we may not always have an exact match to your requirements. However, our team will work with you to try and find a suitable match as quickly as we can.

Donors come from a wide range of ethnic, educational and social backgrounds and all have been carefully screened for infections that could otherwise be passed on to you or your unborn child. Since the legal change in 2005, we have only been collecting sperm from donors who have agreed to be ‘identifiable’ as defined by the regulatory body, the HFEA.

Looking for Donor sperm?
The London Sperm Bank has a large stock of donor sperm ready for use by patients at any of our four fertility clinics in London, Darlington, Swansea and Cardiff. Please click here to visit The London Sperm Bank Catalogue (http://donor.londonspermbank.com/ )

Stonewall booklets
The London Women’s Clinic has developed a strong relationship with gay campaigning group Stonewall and is proud to have sponsored two information booklets for gay women and gay men.

Pregnant Pause is a booklet for lesbian women looking to start a family. The guide features useful information from how to get pregnant, through the stages of pregnancy, to the laws affecting lesbian women and their children.

A guide for gay dads, sponsored by the London Sperm Bank, offers useful information gay men looking to become a father.  The guide covers all of the options available for gay men looking to start a family from adoption and fostering through to surrogacy, co-parenting and also donating sperm.
