The pioneering research work of our Fertility Preservation Program makes news around the world.
Our patient stories profile people whose fertility is at risk. They came to UPMC Magee for the pioneering fertility preservation programs we offer to review their options and pursue treatment.
Although each person's care experience is unique, we share these stories to give prospective patients and their families insight into our care. And to give them hope for the future.
Note: Patient treatments and results may not be representative of all similar cases.
