ROPA Method in Mexico: Shared Motherhood for Lesbian Couples

What Is the ROPA Method?

ROPA (Reception of Oocytes from Partner) is an IVF technique designed exclusively for female couples. One partner donates the eggs (biological mother) and the other carries the pregnancy (gestational mother). This way, both participate biologically in creating their child.

In Mexico, the ROPA method is completely legal and recognized. FertilyMed is an LGBTQ+-inclusive clinic with specific expertise in this treatment.

The Step-by-Step Process

Joint initial consultation. Evaluation of both partners (ovarian reserve, uterine ultrasound). Ovarian stimulation of the biological mother. Egg retrieval and fertilization with donor sperm. Embryo culture with EmbryoScope. Transfer to the gestational mother's uterus.

Advantages of Choosing Mexico

Favorable legal framework for same-sex couples. Costs 50–70% lower than the US or Europe. Bilingual, diversity-sensitive medical team. ROPA packages from $5,500 USD all-inclusive. Cancún offers a welcoming and relaxing environment for the process.
