Led by a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, Caperton Fertility Institute in Albuquerque and El Paso is recognized as a trusted fertility clinic in the Southwest. Supported by an experienced laboratory staff, our reputation for personalized care and consistent pregnancy success attracts patients from across the United States and internationally.
Caperton Fertility Institute’s Fertility Preservation program assists families who wish to freeze eggs, embryos or sperm in order to create options for having children at a later time. For people with cancer, treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation can irreparably damage the reproductive function of the ovaries or testicles. When a patient is facing this scenario, we highly recommend that they have eggs or sperm retrieved for fertility preservation prior to the first round of treatment. Eggs and sperm are much more likely to be undamaged when frozen pre-emptively rather than after one or more rounds of cancer treatment. The good news in this case is that eggs, sperm and embryos can all be preserved for many years with no decrease in quality.
