MAMA(s) Program
Assisted Human Reproduction for Plural Motherhood
More than a treatment:
the starting point of your new story.
If you're seeking assisted reproduction for solo motherhood or wish to experience dual motherhood with your wife, the MAMA(s) Program was created to support different motherhood projects with science, listening, and responsibility.
The program brings together guidance, multidisciplinary care, and assisted reproduction treatments for cis women and couples who want to plan motherhood in a safe, respectful, and individualized way. Among the possibilities are intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, and the ROPA method, also known as shared pregnancy, always in accordance with clinical evaluation and current ethical standards.
The journey begins with Aconselhamento Plural, an initial step designed to organize questions, present possible paths, and support decisions before the medical consultation. This way, each person or couple arrives at treatment with more clarity about steps, choices, and next steps.
For female couples, the MAMA(s) Program considers different forms of participation in the parental project, such as when one partner provides the eggs and the other carries the pregnancy. For those who wish to be solo mothers, the support covers clinical, emotional, and reproductive aspects, including guidance on sperm bank use and treatment planning.
More than presenting techniques, the MAMA(s) Program offers a journey of care for those who want to build motherhood with information, support, and responsibility.
The support you're looking for,
with the experience you can trust.

The journey begins with Aconselhamento Plural, an initial conversation and guidance step created to welcome first questions, organize information, and present the possible paths within assisted reproduction.

Medical consultation
and exams
After Aconselhamento Plural, the medical consultation deepens the clinical and reproductive evaluation.
At this stage, the specialist reviews health history, identifies who wishes to carry the pregnancy, who may provide the eggs, which exams already exist, and which still need to be requested. This evaluation helps define the most appropriate treatment for each case.

Follow-up and
treatment planning
Once exam results are in hand, the follow-up consultation takes place. This is when the team reviews the results, clarifies questions, and defines next steps.
Planning may include choosing the sperm bank, deciding who will carry the pregnancy, organizing the menstrual cycle, the recommended technique, and the necessary care before starting treatment.

When the path is
intrauterine insemination
In intrauterine insemination, also known as IUI, the cycle is monitored to identify the best moment to introduce the sperm into the uterus of the person who will carry the pregnancy.
The team guides medications, when necessary, monitors ovulatory response by ultrasound, and schedules the procedure according to the most suitable phase of the cycle.

When the path is
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In IVF, eggs are collected after ovarian stimulation and sent to the embryology lab, where fertilization occurs with the chosen sperm.
The embryos are monitored in the lab throughout their development. When an embryo is in suitable condition for transfer, the team organizes the preparation of the endometrium of the person who will carry the pregnancy.

When the path is
the ROPA method
In the ROPA method, or shared pregnancy, one partner provides the eggs and the other prepares the uterus to receive the embryo and carry the pregnancy.
This option allows both partners to take part in the journey — one in forming the embryo and the other in carrying the pregnancy. As with all treatments, the indication depends on medical evaluation, exams, and current ethical standards.

Embryo transfer
and post-transfer
When treatment involves IVF or the ROPA method, embryo transfer is the moment when the embryo is placed in the uterus of the person who will carry the pregnancy.
After the transfer, the team guides care, addresses questions, and schedules the BHCG test, which checks whether pregnancy has occurred. This period tends to involve anticipation and anxiety, which is why continued support remains an important part of the journey.

Early follow-up
care
Once pregnancy is confirmed, the scheduling team arranges the first ultrasound after 1 month — at which point it's already recommended to choose a physician for prenatal care.
The delivery of the morphological ultrasound is also scheduled at this time.
From there, care is shared with the team that will follow the pregnancy, maintaining safety and continuity of support.

The maximum age for carrying a pregnancy through assisted reproduction techniques is 50, with possible exceptions upon technical justification from the physician in charge.
In ROPA (Reception of Oocytes from Partner), one of you provides the eggs and the other carries the pregnancy - both of you biologically participate in the pregnancy.
In intrauterine insemination, donor sperm is inserted directly into the uterus of the person carrying the pregnancy, without any laboratory handling of the embryo.
In IVF, fertilization happens in the lab before the embryo transfer.
The physician recommends the technique based on your clinical situation and what you want for this stage.
That decision is yours to make. The feasibility of each option depends on each partner's medical evaluation, and you can also discuss this during Aconselhamento Plural.
Yes, this is a possibility the program supports, evaluated according to each partner's medical indication.
No. Sperm donation follows the principle of anonymity between donor and recipients, in accordance with CFM Resolution No. 2,320/2022 - except in cases of kinship up to the 4th degree.
We follow current national and international standards for sperm banks. Depending on the bank, you may have access to information such as physical characteristics, family health history, and the donor's education - always within the anonymity guaranteed by law.
Yes, this is one of the considerations many couples take into account when choosing a donor. Some banks provide childhood photos and detailed physical characteristics, which helps couples who want the baby to have features similar to both mothers.
We evaluate each configuration individually. What differs from one couple to another isn't sexual orientation, but each partner's biological reality - that's why we ask for an initial consultation to understand which path applies to your case.
Being intersex alone doesn't determine whether this is the right program. We evaluate your biological reality individually at the first consultation to recommend the most suitable path.
Each treatment is personalized, so we don't list fixed prices on this page. Contact our team for an evaluation and a specific quote for your case.
On average, treatment takes about 30 days from the start of the cycle — but this timeline varies depending on the chosen technique and each partner's individual factors.
Treatment is followed by the couple together - both partners' presence is part of the care, with specific stages involving each of you individually depending on the procedure.
Surplus embryos may be cryopreserved for future use, according to the couple's decision and CFM regulations.
Yes, through the possibility of induced lactation, subject to medical evaluation and specific monitoring.
Yes, we follow the pregnancy up to week 12.
The first ultrasound is scheduled to take place one month after pregnancy confirmation. That's when we recommend starting prenatal care - and our support continues through the morphological ultrasound.
