73) IVF & SURROGACY TRUTH FOR LGBTQIA+ FAMILIES — THE DOCTOR WHO ACTUALLY GETS IT

Let’s be real — most fertility conversations still center straight couples.
Dr. Said Daneshmand is here to change that. In this unfiltered, deeply human episode of IVF Daddies, he opens up about what it actually takes for LGBTQIA+ families to build their dreams through IVF, surrogacy, egg donation, and reciprocal IVF.

From gay male couples navigating surrogacy to lesbian couples sharing pregnancy through reciprocal IVF — this episode exposes the truth, the costs, the options, and the emotional rollercoaster behind modern family creation.

💬 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
• The real steps of IVF + surrogacy for LGBTQIA+ couples
• Why access, cost, and transparency still fail queer families
• How egg and sperm donation work — without the clinic jargon
• What “reciprocal IVF” means (and why it’s a love story)
• Why community support isn’t optional — it’s survival
• How Dr. Daneshmand is rebuilding fertility care with empathy

This isn’t a sterile medical chat — it’s a movement.
Because love makes families, but access makes them possible.

🎧 LISTEN NOW — because equality doesn’t stop at marriage; it starts at conception.
