OVERCOMING MALE INFERTILITY

Klinefelter Syndrome and Male Infertility

Finding hope and undersanding through challenging times. You are not alone

Having Klinefelter Syndrome does not mean your hopes of fatherhood or parenthood are impossible to achieve.

“It’s an invisible thing; you can’t see when someone is infertile. It’s an invisible burden they’re carrying with them.” Luke Breard

ADOPTION

In the United States, there are three common avenues people use to adopt a child into their family: adoption through the foster system, domestic adoption of a newborn, or international adoption of a child at any age.

EMBRYO ADOPTION

For couples or individuals hoping to expand their families, embryo adoption is an avenue to explore. While not as widely known as other forms of adoption or means of growing a family, it’s still a viable option for many.

SPERM DONOR

Here you’ll find information about Donor Sperm, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and stories from KS men and their partners who have undergone these procedures.

MICRO-TESE

Microdissection testicular sperm extraction. It’s a surgical procedure used to retrieve sperm from the seminiferous tubules of a male’s testes. Testicular tissue with sperm is extracted with a small incision or a needle, and then is examined for viable sperm.
