Fertility preservation is an excellent option for individuals undergoing cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, that may impact reproductive health.
It is also ideal for those with other medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases. This option may not be suitable for individuals with advanced cancer or certain severe medical conditions. During your consultation, our specialists will carefully evaluate your health and recommend the best approach for your unique situation.
When faced with a cancer diagnosis, many patients choose to freeze their eggs, sperm or embryos before undergoing treatment. Oncology treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy and surgery can be detrimental to the reproductive system. Freezing eggs or sperm prior to treatment preserves fertility and provides a gift of time.
We prioritize patients who need appointments between diagnosis and the start of oncology treatment, as there is often a small window of time. Please schedule an appointment to discuss your options.
In order to preserve the ability to have a biological child once treatment is completed, some of our patients choose to participate in egg/embryo freezing, or sperm banking. In each case, the eggs, embryos or sperm will be frozen for treatment later, once the patient is healthy. HRC works with Fertile Hope, an organization that supports patients with resources to meet urgent timelines to complete their fertility preservation before treatment begins.
Egg freezing involves freezing unfertilized eggs, while embryo freezing fertilizes eggs with sperm before freezing to create embryos.
Eggs, embryos, and sperm can be stored safely for many years, allowing flexibility in family planning.
It’s best to start as soon as possible, especially before starting treatments that may impact fertility, such as chemotherapy. We prioritize providing prompt care for clients with medical situations that could impact fertility.
We work with a range of insurance providers, and some plans may offer coverage for fertility preservation. Starting on January 1, 2026, the California law known as Senate Bill 729 changed the way many families access care. This mandate requires large, state-regulated employer health plans to provide coverage for infertility diagnosis and treatments. This includes essential services like IVF and fertility preservation for those facing a cancer diagnosis. Our team can help you explore financial options and coverage. We also offer several financing options to help make our services accessible for every budget.
