Fertility Preservation: Satch
<p>Satch talked about the hurdles he had to overcome in order to preserve his fertility before transitioning and his experience of treatment and how he feels about having 12 embryos to use with his fiancee Lisa when they are ready to start their family.</p> <p>Satch talked so honestly about the wild femininity of what it is for a man to go through and talked through his experience of fertility preservation treatment and the challenges it presented. From having the examinations to choosing a sperm donor and the triggers along the way. </p> <p>He spoke about how before he went onto testosterone he had signed up to the Gender Identity Clinic (GIC) and how it is explained to you that before you have testosterone the side effects are explained, one of them is that you will likely lose fertility. Therefore made the decision to have the treatment before this stage. </p> <p>Satch talked about the struggle to find information, how most transgender health information online isn't reliable, that is is mainly for Cisgender and heteronormative couples with some for gay and lesbian families. He talks about how the forms they were filling in had the wrong pronouns and how that can be very triggering. Satch has been working with The Agora on their paperwork. </p> <p>Visit our <a href="https://agoraclinic.co.uk/">website</a> for more info</p> <p>SOCIAL MEDIA</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/agorafertility/">Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/agorafertility">Twitter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AgoraFertility/">Facebook </a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9KYZw6h59Tvwl5W5N5NgPA">You Tube </a></p> <p><a href="https://www.thefertilitypodcast.com/">The Fertility Podcast </a></p> <p><br></p>
