Labwork and Fertility / Family Planning Appointments
Understanding your fertility is the first step. Our clinicians can order labwork to assess hormone levels, overall health, and other key factors that may impact your ability to conceive.
During your fertility evaluation or family planning visit, your clinician may:
- Take a detailed medical and reproductive history.
- Review your goals, timeline, and any previous lab work.
- Explain your testing options in clear, affirming language.
- Offer personalized recommendations and next steps—whether that’s lifestyle adjustments, specialist referrals, or additional testing.
Every plan is tailored to you, with your gender, hormones, and family goals in mind.
Holistic Health and Wellness Support
Fertility is connected to overall health, which is why FOLX provides comprehensive wellness care alongside fertility evaluation. We can help with:
- Hormone management, including estrogen or testosterone pause planning.
- Nutrition and lifestyle support for reproductive wellness.
- Screenings and management for conditions that may impact fertility.
- Mental health care and community connection for emotional support.
Our approach is always affirming—we’ll never judge your body, your gender, or your choices. Instead, we’ll work with you to build a care plan that fits your life.
Referrals to LGBTQIA+-Friendly Fertility Clinics and Donor Banks
The fertility landscape can be overwhelming, especially for queer and trans people. Our Member Navigation team helps you find and connect with providers who share your values.
We offer referrals to LGBTQIA+-affirming fertility clinics, donor banks, and adoption or gestational carrier partners, ensuring you get expert care in environments where you’re seen, respected, and understood.
We’ll help you understand what to expect, what to ask, and how to advocate for yourself every step of the way.
