Transgender and gender-diverse fertility

Preserving or using fertility alongside gender-affirming care.

Donor conception

Gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgery can reduce or end fertility, so Australian guidance recommends discussing options such as egg, sperm or embryo freezing before treatment starts. Pathways to parenthood remain available afterwards through stored gametes, donors or surrogacy, and inclusive clinic care matters as much as the clinical options.

Also known as: trans fertility, gender affirming care and fertility
