OncoFertility
OncoFertility creates possibilities for building a family after a cancer diagnosis. Recognizing that treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery can affect future reproductive options, our focus is on proactive fertility preservation before treatment begins.
Preserving fertility before cancer treatment
Cancer therapies may pose risks to reproductive health—damaging eggs and reducing fertility. Options such as egg or embryo freezing offer a meaningful way to protect your chances of pregnancy in the future.
We understand the urgency and complexity that accompany a cancer diagnosis. That’s why we offer an expedited, supportive process, available at a thoughtful rate.
As part of our care approach, our team will guide you clearly and thoroughly through each option, helping you feel informed and confident. While this summary outlines key choices, we encourage you to speak with us directly about your individual needs and circumstances.
Freezing eggs
We use vitrification, a flash-freezing technique considered the most advanced method for preserving eggs today. Retrieved eggs are stored securely in cryotanks until you’re ready to use them.
Freezing embryos
If you have a committed partner or opt to use donor sperm, embryo freezing may be the preferred choice. This well-established approach increases the chances of success when you’re prepared to move forward.
Taking the next step
If you decide you would like to pursue egg or embryo freezing, the first step is to discuss it with your oncologist as you will need to get a medical clearance letter. Then make an appointment with us for a consultation.
We will discuss the entire process with you, do an exam, and run tests to ensure your reproductive system can accommodate this procedure. If so, then we can make arrangements to make it all happen as quickly as possible.
