The inclusive fertility process for diverse identities

Here we guide you step by step through our fertility process, designed to respect and adapt to your gender identity, offering you a clear and supportive path to building your family.

Let's start your evaluation!

STEP 1

Affirmative Initial Consultation

We carry out a full evaluation with professionals trained in LGBTQ+ care, respecting gender identity, pronouns and first names. We collect medical history including hormone therapy (type, dosage, duration), previous surgeries, and family history.

STEP 2

Evaluations adapted according to reproductive system

For people with ovaries: AMH test, transvaginal/transabdominal ultrasound, hormonal evaluation (FSH, LH, estradiol). For people with testicles: semen analysis, hormonal evaluation (testosterone, FSH, LH), sperm DNA fragmentation when necessary.

STEP 3

Consideration of hormonal effects

We interpret results considering current hormonal therapies. Specialists recommend testing before starting hormones or after a temporary break (3-6 months for testosterone, 3-6 months for estrogen) to regain reproductive function.

STEP 4

Protocols for reducing dysphoria

We adapt procedures to minimize dysphoria: transabdominal ultrasound when feasible, transducer self-insertion, neutral/affirmative terminology, mild sedation for invasive procedures.

STEP 5

Personalized treatment plan

We develop fertility preservation or treatment strategies while respecting your identity, considering hormonal effects, donation options when necessary, and coordination with other specialists for a comprehensive and affirmative approach.

What do we offer you?

Contamos con especialistas en medicina reproductiva, endocrinólogos familiarizados con terapias hormonales afirmativas.Todo nuestro personal está capacitado en atención inclusiva.

Interpretamos resultados considerando que valores de referencia cisgénero pueden no ser aplicables. Para personas con testosterona, AMH puede parecer elevado sin indicar mayor reserva. Para personas con estrógenos, parámetros espermáticos pueden mostrar valores alterados pero potencialmente reversibles.

Ofrecemos ultrasonido transabdominal cuando sea viable, auto-inserción de transductor, terminología neutra/afirmativa, sedación leve para procedimientos invasivos y técnicas de imagen menos invasivas cuando sea posible.

Utilizamos vitrificación de vanguardia, protocolos de estimulación ovárica con inhibidores de aromatasa para minimizar efectos estrogénicos, técnicas PICSI e IMSI para trabajar con muestras espermáticas de menor calidad.
