Sperm Freezing

• Men facing chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery that may affect fertility.
• Active-duty military preparing for deployment.
• Partners of patients undergoing IVF who can't be present for retrieval day.
• Donor sperm cycles and patients pursuing surrogacy.
• Anyone with a documented decline in sperm quality who wants to preserve a baseline.

• Full screening done on-site — HIV, HTLV, hepatitis, syphilis — before any sample is frozen.
• Same-day analysis with motility, morphology, and concentration reported back the same visit.
• Surgical sperm retrieval (TESE/TESA/MESA) coordinated when ejaculated samples aren't viable.
• Long-term cryostorage with annual confirmation — no surprises, no expired samples.

01
Initial consult & screening
A brief visit covering medical history, infectious disease panel, and a baseline semen analysis.
02
Collection
Most patients collect privately on-site in a discreet collection suite. Lubricant is lab-approved to protect the sample.
03
Analysis
The lab evaluates count, motility, and morphology. You receive a written report the same day.
04
Cryopreservation
Viable sperm is divided into multiple vials and vitrified, so a single thaw doesn't exhaust the bank.
05
Long-term storage
Samples are stored in secure liquid-nitrogen tanks until you're ready to use them — months or decades later.

A typical freeze cycle is one to three visits across a week. Most patients leave with two to six vials banked per session, depending on starting concentration. Multiple sessions are common when the goal is to bank enough for several IUI or IVF cycles.

Frozen sperm performs slightly less well than fresh in IUI, which is why we often pair it with IVF/ICSI for the highest yield per vial. Babies conceived from frozen sperm show no increase in birth defects or long-term health concerns.
