Summary
Majority of transgender and gender nonconforming people seeking medical care are in pubertal and reproductive age. Cross-sex hormones may compromise fertility especially when preceded by puberty blocking regimen. Our current understanding on reproductive needs of transgender persons is insufficient. The guidelines of Endocrine Society and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health prompt the health professionals to provide information on fertility risk and fertility preservation options before initiating hormonal treatment. Currently, no clear tools are available for healthcare professionals. Among several challenges for clinical care are a low clinical awareness, a lack of suitable psycho-educational instruments addressing fertility values that can be used to facilitate discussion between transgender persons and healthcare providers, a lack of established methods for fertility preservation in prepubertal youth, and a lack of long-term data regarding reproductive function, psychological and societal outcomes in this population. Likewise, current data are sparse regarding the experience of transgender and gender nonconforming people with fertility preservation. Our aim is to describe desires, attitudes and knowledge of transgender and gender nonconforming people regarding fertility preservation wishes and reproductive needs.
