Reception of Oocytes from Partner (ROPA) is an advanced assisted reproductive technology (ART) designed specifically for female same-sex couples who wish to share biological motherhood. In this method, one partner provides the eggs (oocyte donor), while the other partner carries the pregnancy (gestational mother).
The ROPA method allows both partners to participate actively in the conception process, one genetically and the other biologically, through pregnancy, making it a deeply meaningful fertility option.
VivaVel Health facilitates access to ethical, confidential, and advanced fertility treatments in India, coordinating care with experienced reproductive specialists and accredited fertility centres for international patients.
ROPA may be considered when:
A same-sex female couple desires shared biological motherhood
One partner has good ovarian reserve but cannot carry a pregnancy
One partner has uterine or medical conditions affecting egg quality
Couples seek emotional and biological involvement from both partners
Prior IVF attempts have failed due to egg or uterine factors
ROPA is chosen due to:
Desire for shared parenthood experience
Medical infertility in one partner
Uterine abnormalities or hormonal disorders
Age-related decline in egg quality in one partner
Psychological preference for joint biological participation
Medical consultation is recommended if:
Either partner has known fertility issues
There is a history of recurrent IVF failure
One partner has endometriosis, PCOS, or uterine disorders
Menstrual irregularities are present
There is a need for fertility preservation or planning
Early evaluation ensures optimal treatment planning and success.
Advanced maternal age
Hormonal imbalance
Poor ovarian reserve
Uterine abnormalities
Lifestyle factors (smoking, obesity)
