The inclusive fertility process for diverse identities
Let's start your evaluation!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
