Fertility Preservation is a complicated, dynamic and challenging topic. This presentation will briefly cover what are the Standards of Care for male and female fertility preservation and the process to pursue. However science and technology is constantly changing, so are our perspectives, circumstances, and we need to keep up with the changing landscape of fertility preservation. Attendees will walk away understanding what fertility preservation is at a basic level, newer options, and the importance of keeping the conversation going with your medical team to address your desires for family planning and building.
