At first I did not care about the future, but in the end it seems like I don't want to give up on that chance. Maybe one day the crisis will end and i will feel more confident on creating a tiny little monster.


I am still at less than a month on HRT and apart from Dutasteride, I don't have other dangerous things on my body. Maybe it is a good moment for storing, just in case.

Should I stop completely with the HRT and wait for a few months before going to the storage? It will be expensive, but it should allow me to be more at ease.

Apple Seed, only you can decide if you should freeze some of your sperm for future use you should decide you want a child and have found a girl to carry the baby.  My understanding it is a fairly simple procedure for guys like you.  I don't know what the cost will be.

I have located the closest bank already, and the idea is to get in touch with them for prices and see if it is worth it while I still haven't caused too much damage to Humpty and Dumpy.

I really don't know if I want that in a future, but just to keep the chance. Imagine I detransition and I have lost the opportunity...


Nice day for having second thoughts and switching back to male identification...

If you are thinking second thoughts you may want to save some sperm, while  Humpty and Dumpy are still in good shape and making good lively ones.  I looked into saving my eggs very briefly and decided quickly that I didn't want to go through the pain and cost of the procedure.  I understand it is very simple for guys, only need to produce a fresh output and give it to them.

It's been impossible for almost a year, and now the libido is at full power again, levels I did not have since I was a teenager (And it should the opposite). The problem is that I am not exactly happy with what is making it work now.

Speaking for me personally I didn't used to think that having a kid would be a big deal. However, with transition and life returning to a little more 'normal' I am really glad I stopped taking the anti-androgens for a couple months to get the sperm banked. I can always discard them later, but as of right now I could never make such a deposit again.

+1 to banking if you are wondering at all. I was thinking exactly like you: not really sure what I will want in the future. And it is better to be safe than sorry down the line. Peace of mind is very important... Anxiety is the worst kind of enemy in life, and luckily it is easily avoidable for this kind of thing.

If you are only one month in you should be just fine :D but do it asap if you decide to go through with it, because you don't want to have to pay more money to add more samples if they don't get enough the first time.

I'm located in LA and the initial + 1 year of cryo ran me about 1K (450 for the visit+bloodwork+analysis and 500 for one year of freezing). They were very trans friendly and called me by my new name even though I am basically just starting my transition and still present as a male. Bottom line, you will be very happy you did it! I was ecstatic to hear the next day that the sample I provided was loaded with healthy swimmers, I got 10 vials out of it! I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise because it was only day 5 on HRT. They would have charged an additional $120 for each additional sample.

Best of luck to you!
