Hi, everyone! So, I'm moving toward going on estrogen in the next year. Before I do that, there are some steps I want to take to prepare. I'm using an at-home IPL machine now for hair removal, and I'd like to get some voice lessons under my belt as well. The main step I want to take next is sperm cryopreservation. My fiancee and I want kids, but I'm not certain it would be a good idea to have a kid during puberty. So, we want to freeze my sperm or our embryos, and I was wondering if ya'll have any resources you could share? I've looked into a few at-home sperm freezing kits, but it's such a big deal to place your fertility in the hands of a company like that and any advice would be much appreciated! <3

Doing it at home is an option I had never even condiered, I'm not sure that's the wisest approach, but I could be wrong.

The reason to preserve your sperm is because hormone replacement therapy generally drops your sperm count to a point that you are infertile (and can also often result in dry orgasms where you don't ejaculate)

My advice would be to look for a well reviewed, highly regarded fertility center in your area and go talk to them about the process and what it'd cost
