For anyone facing cancer treatment who wants to understand their options for later family building.

Fertility preservation is arranged alongside cancer care, not instead of it. Your oncology team decides what is safe and how much time is available, and options depend on age, diagnosis and planned treatment.

Key takeaways

  • Options may include freezing eggs or embryos before treatment starts.
  • Referral is usually urgent and arranged through the oncology team.
  • Preservation cannot guarantee a future pregnancy.
