Fertility Preservation Before Cancer Treatment

What to know when time is short and a diagnosis just landed.

The first call

Contact a fertility team as soon as fertility comes up. We coordinate directly with your oncology team; you do not have to translate between them.

What is often possible

Egg freezing typically takes about 10–14 days from cycle start. Embryo freezing follows a similar timeline. Sperm freezing is fast. When treatment must start immediately, alternatives are discussed openly.

After treatment

Post-treatment evaluation helps you understand what is possible then. Frozen eggs, embryos, or sperm are options — not the only option.

This page is for general education and is not a substitute for medical advice. Treatment recommendations depend on a physician evaluation, diagnosis, age, medical history, ovarian reserve, sperm parameters, reproductive goals, and other patient-specific factors. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
