ROPA Method
The ROPA Method, also known as Shared Motherhood (ROPA stands for Reception of Oocytes from the Partner), has become an increasingly popular choice among lesbian couples.
It involves an In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment shared by both women: one undergoes ovarian stimulation to provide the eggs and her partner carries and gives birth.
The eggs are obtained through ovarian puncture and are fertilised with donor sperm, just like in an IVF treatment.
