Fertility preservation - what's involved?
Hi everyone. I'm 33 and was diagnosed a few weeks ago. I don't have children and for most of my life I've never wanted them, but I've never completely 100% ruled them out either. It's been suggested ...
Hey SEVENB
I took the doctors advice to freeze embryos before chemo....unfortunately I didn't have much time and it was unsuccessful. I don't feel like it was that invasive, I just had to do 2 needles a day and then go in for the procedure....everyone was incredibly kind and supportive, especially considering our circumstance.
I've just turned 42 and have the sperm donor on ice still to try when I am strong and well again. I went through the public system and there were some costs involved however costs are cut significantly because of the cancer to help us.
It's definitely worth having a talk to the fertility specialist they offer through the hospital....at least you have a higher chance if u decide to go down that path.
Hope this helps. x
