Cancer and Cryopreservation
Cancer and Cryopreservation…
Why should a woman or a man with cancer consider this?
A woman is born with all of the eggs that she will ever have, averaging 300,000 remaining eggs when she starts puberty. Certain types of chemotherapy and/or radiation localized to the pelvic region can kill or damage some or all of the eggs in the ovary. Therefore, it is often prudent to cryopreserve (freeze) eggs or embryos prior to undergoing these potentially harmful therapies in order to preserve a womanās future ability to conceive and become pregnant.
A male produces sperm in his testes on a continual basis. Once produced, the sperm goes through 2-3 months of transport where it gains maturity and functionality. Certain types of chemotherapy and/or radiation localized to the pelvic region can damage the ability of the testes to produce and/or transport healthy sperm. Therefore, it is often prudent to cryopreserve (freeze) sperm prior to undergoing these potentially harmful therapies in order to preserve oneās future ability to conceive.
Since time is often of the essence with our oncology patients, these are top priority on FINAās schedule. FINA works closely with your oncology team to consult with every patient desiring a consultation within 1-3 days of initial request.
You can schedule your initial consultation to discuss your current cancer treatment plan and the options available to you by calling us at 256-217-9613 or by visiting our website.

Thank you for voting us Best Fertility Specialist 2021!
Thank you Huntsville for voting FINA “Best of Huntsvilleāsā Best Fertility Specialist in 2021!
Four years ago we saw a need in Huntsville and had a vision of starting a fertility clinic offering the best of both knowledge and technology in a very warm and compassionate setting. You helped make this vision a reality.
We are humbled and honored to receive this award, and we look forward to continuing to provide superior care to all who come through our doors. We are so very thankful for you!
“Dr. Davenport let us set the pace…”
“I spent several years trying to get my PCOS under control, and honestly never thought I’d be able to get pregnant.
Dr. Davenport did a thorough workup, started me on medications to help ovulation, and let us set the pace with a less aggressive treatment plan. It took some time, and I almost can’t believe it, but I am now nine weeks pregnant.
Once I got pregnant I was carefully monitored, and they’ve been as excited as we are!”
Thank you to our sweet patient for sharing her FINA experience! We appreciate you! 
National Infertility Awareness Week
RAISING AWARENESS DURING NATIONAL INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK APRIL 18-24, 2021
It comes natural for most to dream of a future with children. Because conception is a natural expectation, it becomes quite frustrating and disappointing when plans do not become reality on demand. Many couples will uniquely relay the heartaches of a lonely struggle. For most couples, attempting to conceive a child is a very intimate process that is clothed in privacy. But because of the quiet nature of this process, those who are unable to voluntarily conceive often suffer in private as well. Infertility is spoken of far too seldom in our society.
HOWEVER, INFERTILITY IS NOT UNCOMMON.
IN FACT, IT OCCURS IN 15% OF ALL COUPLES.
And infertility doesnāt discriminate. While it impacts people across gender, race and socio-economic class, access to treatment is even more difficult for those who lack insurance coverage or the economic means to pay for care out-of-pocket.
HOW CAN YOU HELP RAISE AWARENESS
+ Share your story. Not only can this help you cope with your feelings, but this may also help others who are experiencing the same struggles.
+ Find a support group. Whether online or locally, this will allow you to hear of what other couples are going through or went through and will validate your emotions. It can help you feel less isolated and will empower you with knowledge.
+ Offer your ear (and a hug) to a friend in need. Even if you arenāt on an infertility journey of your own, chances are someone close to you is.
+ Advocate with your employer. While more and more employers are discovering the value of adding infertility benefits to their offerings, many donāt. Plan a time to talk with leaders within your organization about the importance and value of adding these types of benefits.
+ Support the work of an infertility advocacy group you trust. Advocacy groups help raise awareness, organize and advocate all year long. If you find that work valuable, lend your support by donating yourself or hosting a fundraiser.
