Shared Motherhood - ROPA Treatment
ROPA is a form of assisted reproduction for female couples that allows both partners to participate biologically in the pregnancy:
One partner provides the eggs, which are fertilized with donor sperm, while the other carries the pregnancy and gives birth. It offers both partners a biological and emotional connection to their child.
What ROPA involves
The ROPA method allows both partners to share the fertility journey, with one providing the eggs and the other carrying the pregnancy.
Ovarian Stimulation
One partner takes hormonal medication to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple eggs, which are then collected.

Fertilization & Embryo Development
The eggs are fertilized with donor sperm in the laboratory. The resulting embryos are monitored as they develop.
3
Embryo Transfer
An embryo is transferred into the uterus of the other partner, who carries the pregnancy and gives birth.
ROPA may be an option for female couples who wish to share the experience of parenthood, with both partners playing a biological role in the pregnancy.
A consultation with Dr. Ruiz helps clarify the available pathways and the medical and personal considerations involved.
