What does a fertility preservation journey look like?

Fertility journeys are different for everyone, but they often start with a fertility specialist who can help members understand whether egg freezing or sperm preservation is right for them. They'll likely suggest a fertility assessment and screening tests, such as blood work and semen analysis, to determine if preservation is a possibility.
