Fertility Preservation

Not building your family just yet? There’s a way to be ready when the time’s right.

If you think you’ll want children one day—but aren’t sure exactly when—let’s talk about what we can do now to make the process easier later. Fertility preservation can be a necessary step before certain medical treatments that carry a risk of damage to the reproductive system. But we also have patients with no medical issues who are interested in freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos. They just want to be sure they can have a family later in life, when their fertility naturally declines.

Whatever your reasons for preserving fertility, we’re here for you.

If you’re undergoing major medical treatment, we’d be happy to advise on fertility first.

If you or a partner is undergoing medical treatments like chemo, radiation, and some surgeries, reach out to us for a new patient appointment. We know it’s an emotional, sensitive time, and you have a lot to consider. The American Cancer Society recommends talking about fertility as soon as possible after an initial cancer diagnosis—and if that’s something you want to discuss, we’ll walk you through how you can have a family post-treatment.

Ask us about reduced-cost fertility preservation treatments through our partnership with the Livestrong Cancer Program.

With fertility preservation, you can have the best of both worlds.

For a variety of personal reasons, more and more women are deciding to become first-time moms at age 35 or later. Just one thing to be aware of when timing your family: biologically, fertility does decline in a woman’s 30s (and even more quickly after 35). But that doesn’t mean you need to drop your life plans in order to have a baby. You can take steps to preserve your fertility, so you can have the life you imagined now and later.

Cryopreservation is safe, reliable, and works for men and women.

Cryopreservation – (or freezing) has been around for a while and has worked for many women, men, and families.

Sperm cryopreservation – Sperm can be frozen for a number of years. It retains its quality for an indefinite number of years, so you can use it when you’re ready to create embryos through IVF or IUI. To collect sperm, you can either provide a sample or it can be done via a surgical sperm retrieval (i.e. PESA, TESE, MESA).

Egg and embryo cryopreservation – Egg freezing was once considered experimental, but that’s no longer true. (In 2012, it became considered a non-experimental fertility treatment.) Once we retrieve eggs from the ovaries, women have two options to choose from: freezing eggs through oocyte cryopreservation or freezing embryos, which are eggs fertilized by sperm. Thanks to our rapid freezing methods, both have resulted in great pregnancy rates.
