What if I want to preserve my fertility?
Taking hormones can affect your fertility, especially while you
take them and maybe even if you stop them later. Many people do go on
to parent biological children after stopping hormones, even temporarily.
However, if you do wish to preserve your fertility and store eggs or sperm then
you should do that before you start.
If you want a referral letter for private
storage then we can arrange that for you. Alternatively, your doctor can refer you to a
service local to you.
