Please complete the form so we can best serve and help you with your journey towards parenthood.
Testosterone causes significant changes in the body. These can include stopping menstrual cycles and egg production. If you have already begun a hormonal transition, you need to stop testosterone to allow the eggs in your ovaries to develop again. The return of normal menstrual cycles suggests that the ovaries have resumed their normal ovulatory function. While it is possible to restore fertility after stopping testosterone intake, there isn’t a 100% guarantee. Transgender men who still have a womb can carry a pregnancy to term but will need to go off testosterone because it can inhibit the growth of a developing baby.
You will travel to our San Diego location with all necessary expenses covered. One of our skilled physicians will retrieve the eggs vaginally through a minimally invasive procedure.
You’ll find your perfect match through our extensive donor database. Whether you are looking for a donor with high IQ, specific aesthetics, gifts or talents, our matching program assures you select the characteristics most important to you.
Your journey to parenthood will be shorter and more predictable because of our Egg Bank. Quality donor eggs are frozen through vitrification and stored in our on-site laboratory. Electing to use bank to eggs puts you in control of your timeline, since they are available for immediate use. Additionally, selecting donors from our bank eliminates waiting time and unforeseen setbacks. You will maximize success rates due to a guaranteed yield of high quality, mature eggs.
If your partner is another trans man, your frozen eggs can be inseminated with the donor’s sperm to produce embryos. The resulting embryo can then be transferred into a Surrogate who will help you carry the pregnancy
The day after hatching, the embryo is transferred to the uterus where it will hopefully implant and result in a successful pregnancy.
The embryo is held with a specialized holding pipette. A very delicate, hollow needle is used to expel the acidic solution against the outer “shell” (zona pellucida) of the embryo. The acidic solution creates a small hole in the shell.
A transvaginal ultrasound aspiration is used to retrieve eggs from the ovaries. The procedure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical and always conducted under sedation. The procedure itself lasts 10-20 minutes.
Hormone injections are administered for 10-14 days in order to stimulate the ovaries, so you release more eggs. Normally our bodies release just one egg each month but with cryopreservation the goal is to retrieve as many healthy eggs as possible.
The consultation will be dedicated to enhancing your understanding and setting realistic goals. Your fertility doctor will perform a physical exam and initial fertility tests. After the tests have been evaluated, our expert medical team will move forward with creating a personalized plan.
Upon your arrival, you will check in with a Patient Care Coordinator.
