Preserving Fertility, Protecting the Future

A cancer diagnosis brings many urgent decisions, and fertility preservation is an important one for those who wish to have children, or the option of children in the future. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can impact reproductive health, but advancements in fertility treatments offer options to safeguard fertility before cancer treatment begins.

Dr Rachael Knight and her team understand the time-sensitive nature of oncology-related fertility care. Our Oncology Emergency Fertility Preservation Program ensures rapid access to consultations and treatment, working closely with oncologists to provide a seamless and efficient process.

What Are My Options?

We offer several fertility preservation techniques tailored to individual needs and treatment timelines:

For Women & People with Ovaries

  • Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation) – The most effective method for preserving future fertility. We fast-track the stimulation and collection process to freeze eggs before cancer treatment begins.
  • Embryo Freezing – If you have a partner, embryos can be created and frozen for future use.
  • Ovarian Tissue Freezing – For patients who cannot delay cancer treatment, ovarian tissue can be removed and frozen for reimplantation after recovery.
  • Ovarian Suppression – Medications may be used to temporarily suppress ovarian function to reduce damage from chemotherapy

For Men & People with Testes

  • Sperm Freezing (Sperm Cryopreservation) – A quick and effective method to store sperm before treatment.

Rapid, Coordinated Care

We recognize the urgency of oncology fertility preservation and prioritise fast-tracked appointments, often within 48 hours of referral. Our team collaborates with your oncologist to ensure fertility preservation fits within your treatment timeline.

Support Every Step of the Way

Beyond medical treatment, we provide emotional support and counselling to help navigate this challenging time. Our goal is to empower patients with knowledge and options, ensuring they can focus on recovery while keeping future family-building possibilities open.
