CONSULTATION
Our experienced team is here to help you through the whole process. We provide a comfortable space to discuss your fertility-preservation concerns and plans.
COLLECTION & STORAGE
We use advanced technology and techniques for sperm collection, ensuring optimal viability of your specimens. Once collected, they're safely frozen and preserved in our state-of-the-art facility, monitored with 24/7 surveillance.
FUTURE USE
When you decide to use your sample, we offer various options for utilizing your preserved sperm, including intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and other assisted reproductive technologies.
Why Should I Do Fertility Preservation Before GAHT?
Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) utilizes medications like estrogen and anti-androgens to affirm an individual's gender identity. However, the combination of estrogen and anti-androgens can potentially decrease sperm production and testicular volume, which may impact fertility. While discontinuing hormone therapy may reverse these changes, there is no guarantee, and the chances of reversibility decrease with prolonged use.
Cryobank OC offers transgender women the opportunity to preserve their fertility before beginning hormone therapy in case they wish to have biological children in the future. Through cryopreservation, our personal sperm banking options allow you to collect and freeze your sperm for later use. By taking advantage of our hassle-free process, you can proceed with your gender affirmation journey with peace of mind, knowing that you have viable options available to you.

At Cryobank OC, we take great pride in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. Our team is dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique fertility needs of the transgender community. We are committed to providing respectful, dignified, and compassionate care throughout your entire experience with us.
