How FOLX Can Help with Fertility and Family Building

Affirming, accessible fertility care for every body and every family.

At FOLX, we know that family building looks different for everyone. Whether you’re exploring methods of conception, looking into egg or sperm preservation, evaluating donor options, or considering adoption, our clinicians are here to provide expert, judgment-free care designed for the LGBTQIA+ community.

From fertility labs and wellness support to personalized guidance and referrals to affirming clinics, we’re with you every step of the way.

Our New Comprehensive Fertility & Family Building Course

We’re proud to launch our new Fertility and Family Building Course—created by and for LGBTQIA+ people who want to understand their options and plan their path to parenthood with confidence.

This clinician-informed course includes:

• 🎥 Expert-led video lessons covering fertility basics, hormones, conception, donor and adoption pathways, and more.
• 📝 Downloadable guides and worksheets to help you plan your next steps.
• 💬 Community discussions where you can connect with others on similar journeys.
• 📚 Resource lists featuring LGBTQIA+-friendly fertility clinics, donor banks, legal experts, and wellness providers.

Whether you’re years away from trying to conceive or ready to start now, this course gives you the knowledge, structure, and support to move forward with clarity.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can FOLX prescribe fertility medications?

FOLX clinicians can order labs, provide fertility and family planning support, and guide you through pre-conception planning. At this time, we don’t directly prescribe ovulation-inducing or injectable fertility medications (such as Clomid or gonadotropins), but we can help you understand when they may be appropriate and refer you to an affirming fertility clinic for specialized treatment.

Can I have family planning conversations while on hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

Yes—our clinicians are experienced in supporting people on or off HRT. They’ll help you think through your next steps in the context of your hormone use and discuss whether a brief hormone pause might be helpful for specific goals, such as egg or sperm collection.

Does FOLX help with donor sperm or donor eggs?

FOLX provides education, resources, and referrals to LGBTQIA+-friendly donor banks and fertility clinics that can help you explore donor sperm or egg options safely and confidently.

Can FOLX support adoption or surrogacy journeys?

Absolutely. Our clinicians and Member Navigation team can provide medical support and connections to affirming legal and agency partners experienced with LGBTQIA+ families.

What if I just want to learn about my fertility—not start a family yet?

That’s a great time to start! Many members come to FOLX simply to understand their reproductive health or explore options for egg or sperm freezing. Early information empowers you to make informed choices about your future.
