Abstract
Environmental uncertainty is influencing fertility preservation (FP) decisions. Of 124 participants studied, over 16% reported serious consideration of fertility preservation. Parents wishing to freeze their sperm or eggs were more likely to cite factors such as climate change, environmental catastrophes, and the current pandemic for their decision than non-parents.
