Transgender – Fertility Preservation

Considering your future fertility is an important step to consider in the early stages of transition, empowering you to have future choices and flexibility in family planning.

Fertility preservation allows transgender individuals to have the option of biological children in the future. This means that you can freeze sperm, eggs or embryos depending on whether you were assigned male or female at birth and your transition plans. This is a crucial step if you plan to undergo hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgeries that may affect your fertility.  Consequently, this is something that should be planned early on in your transition to maximise your options.

Our friendly team at Hull and East Riding Fertility are sensitive and experienced in offering fertility preservation options to transgender individuals.  Dedicated fertility counsellors provide information to help you make an informed decision. Additionally, our healthcare professionals offer discrete and personalised care and guide you on the options available to you, providing you with the freedom to build the future family you envision.

In some circumstances, NHS funding is available to cover the cost of fertility preservation and this is something that our friendly team at Hull and East Riding Fertility will help you with.

Hull and East Riding Fertility will help give you peace of mind and assist you with future family planning.  Please see our Guide for Transgender People for more information.
