Sperm cryopreservation, commonly referred to as sperm freezing, is a method to preserve sperm for later use. After semen is collected a laboratory analysis is completed and then the sperm are frozen in our state of the art laboratory for future attempts at pregnancy.
Reasons to use sperm freezing include:
- Unavailable to be present for partner’s fertility treatment (ie- travel, military)
- Declining sperm concentration
- Advancing age
- High risk exposure (ie- zika, occupational)
- Prior to hormone treatment or gender affirming procedures
- Prior to cancer treatments
- Prior to beginning treatment for any medical conditions that could affect fertility
Please note: you must be an active patient at Main Line Fertility to receive care
