My son is planning to go on HRT, but would like to bank his sperm in case he wants kids in the future.
The place he is looking at is going to charge in the USD 3,000-4,000 range for the visit(s) and 10 years of storage.
Does this sound like it's in the range of what is usually charged for this?
(BTW: if there's a better forum for me to post this in, let me know and I'll move it / ask for it to be moved.)

You could have a look here as an example:
fertile-future.com/services/pricing#semen
and here:
http://www.milkjunkies.net/2013/05/trans-women-and-breastfeeding-personal.html
This is an article with the experience of a trans women breastfeeding their kid.
She describes in detail how long it took her for going off hormones until she was able to produce sperm.
She also states that some people have produced offspring five years after being on hormones, and later.
She states that medical personnel often is not very aquainted with the subject and people should try if they want offspring.
Well all at your own risk since there are no guarantees... but as said if you look for it you will find that being on hormones is not a sure way for permanent sterility.
Its another thing if they plan to have srs soon... they would need to go off hormones for a few months before...
