Sperm Freezing

There are many reasons why a man may wish to freeze his sperm.  The most frequent reason is cancer, whether it is testicular or some other  type of cancer.  Various modes of radiation therapy and chemotherapy can affect sperm production and sperm quality.  If you are about to undergo cancer treatment, it is a good idea to freeze a few samples prior to beginning therapy.

If you are considering a vasectomy, it is also a good idea to freeze sperm, as we have seen many men come back 7 or 8 years later wishing to have another child.  Vasectomy reversals are only about 60% successful and, even when successful, the sperm frequently is of lower quality.  Lower quality sperm generally necessitates some type of assisted fertility technology, such as IUI or IVF.  Having high quality frozen sperm generally yields better results than post-vasectomy sperm.

Fees:

We charge a fee of $350 for a semen analysis and freezing process for one sample.  If you elect to do more than one sample, it is $200 per sample. 

Therefore, if you freeze one sample, it is $350.  Two samples with one semen analysis would be $400.  Three samples would be $600.

This fee is only for the semen analysis and freezing process.  We ship all of our frozen sperm to Reprotech (unless you prefer a different storage facility.)  Reprotech has its own fee schedule for storing the sperm.  Click here for their fee schedule.
