Trans and non binary fertility preservation: egg freeze information

Scottish Government and NHS Scotland trans and non-binary patient information for those patients considering fertility preservation by egg freezing.


What if I don’t want to proceed at this stage?

If you decide not to proceed with egg freezing at this stage, that is completely okay. The decision is entirely yours. It’s natural to feel uncertain, and taking more time to think things over is perfectly acceptable. If you’re unsure, speaking with your healthcare team, fertility specialist, or a counsellor may help you better understand your options.

Opting out of egg freezing will not affect your gender-related care, and you can explore fertility preservation or other options to build a family in the future if you change your mind.
