Planning for your future family may not be at the forefront of your mind, but just like financial investing, it’s also important to consider your options when it comes to investing in your future fertility.
If you’re a trans man who wants a baby, you may consider freezing your eggs. Egg freezing is recommended for all people with ovaries who aren’t yet ready to have children. It may be especially important if you take hormones or get bottom surgery.
It’s a Hollywood cliche: An infertile couple is told to “relax and have fun.” They head out on vacation, and bingo! Next scene, they have a baby. That scenario’s just a bit too good to be true, but the link between stress and infertility is real.
You’ve tried everything else, and now you wonder if in vitro fertilization (IVF) is the procedure you need to build the family of your dreams. However, you know that IVF is relatively expensive and can’t be guaranteed. Is it worth the risk?
If you’re intersex, you may wonder if it’s possible for you to have a baby. The answer depends on your individual anatomy, chromosomes, and hormones. The answer may also depend on whether assisted-reproductive technology (ART) can help you.
The upside to egg freezing is pretty awesome: You preserve your youthful eggs while you’re still fertile. Then, when you’re ready for a baby, your eggs are ready for you — no matter how old you are. But is there a downside?
