Transgender Inclusive Treatments at Boston IVF

In honor of Transgender Awareness Week, Boston IVF's fertility doctor Nina Resetkova, MD, MBA speaks on the importance of inclusivity in the medical landscape and discusses transgender family building options offered at Boston IVF.

Fertility Options for Transgender Individuals

At Boston IVF, we believe in offering fertility care tailored to the unique needs of transgender people. With an informed and inclusive environment, our team is trained in LGBTQ+ fertility health and fully equipped to provide compassionate care. Let’s dive into the fertility options available for both transgender men and women.

Fertility Preservation for Transgender Men
For transgender men, fertility preservation is a crucial step in maintaining reproductive options. Before undergoing testosterone treatment or other gender-affirming therapies, freezing eggs or embryos can be an essential step in preserving fertility. In some cases, it is also possible to take a short break from testosterone treatment to allow for egg retrieval.

If fertility preservation was not done prior to starting testosterone, there are still options for transgender men, and we can discuss personalized pathways to fertility treatment at Boston IVF.

Fertility Treatment for Transgender Women
For transgender women, the process may involve sperm preservation. This is typically done before starting hormone therapy, but in some cases, we can help you temporarily pause hormone treatments to collect sperm for future use. Additionally, transgender women in relationships with cisgender women have options such as partner assisted reproduction IVF cycles, where both partners can be actively involved in the reproductive process.
