Here's an excerpt from the story written by Aisha Tyler of Live 5 News:
In recent years, Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Stephanie Singleton has seen a big increase in all of the states where she practices.

Dr. Singleton says she has seen numbers go up for both fertility treatment options available to same sex couples as well as the number of couples exploring fertility treatments.

"Overall in the world of infertility we are seeing an increase in same sex couples feeling comfortable and seeking care," Dr. Singleton said.

Dr. Singleton says it also has to do with our society changing the way we view a traditional family.

"A family is a family, and two loving parents are two loving parents. No matter what gender they are," Dr. Singleton said.


Dr.Singleton says there are more fertility treatment options for female couples to explore like IVF or In Vitro fertilization. Male couples also have options they can explore, too.

"There are also treatments for male couples in that we can find gestational carriers and egg donors to fertilize the egg with their sperm to create pregnancy," Dr. Singleton said.
