2. No Medical Advice

We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

4. Fertility Outcomes, Risks, and Safety

Any discussion of timelines, success rates, storage conditions, temperatures, or outcomes is informational only and implies no guarantee of results. Outcomes depend on factors including age, health, timing, technique, and underlying conditions. At-home methods carry risks (e.g., infection, improper handling of biological material, allergic reactions). You are responsible for following medical guidance, using sterile single-use equipment, and ensuring current, appropriate screening (e.g., STIs and relevant pathogens) for all parties as recommended by licensed professionals.
