Step 1: Select a Fertility Group
To get started, you'll need to choose a fertility group to send your sample to. Your physician will meet and share the various types of fertility treatments available and determine what method is best for you and your partner to conceive.
- Your fertility plan will be designed to fit your needs and goals; it will maximize your chances of having a successful pregnancy.
- We will review your account and contact your physician to begin the release process.
- Your initial chart containing your sample results, infectious diseases results, and consent will be sent over for their review.
Step 2: We'll Prepare Your Samples for Release
During this time, you will be sent a release form that will require your signature and that of a notary signature to verify that you are the one requesting your sperm samples being released.
CryoChoice will coordinate:
- Shipping arrangements
- Shipping date
- Shipping address of the fertility center
You will be notified when the samples are arriving to your fertility center. CryoChoice is proud to provide a secure option for preserving your future. For many patients, private sperm banking offers the opportunity to keep a precious resource tucked away as they move forward into the future.

HOW IT WORKS
How much sperm should I store?
The easiest answer is that the more sperm you store, the more likely you will conceive. Each IVF round usually needs about 3 vials of sperm for a successful insemination. Our most common order is two kits so that you can store at least two collections.
When is the fastest that I can get a collection kit?
We can offer kits next day Monday - Friday and they can be sent in to our lab Monday - Thursdays.
How long can my sperm be stored?
At this time, scientists believe sperm cryogenically stored doesn't have an expiration. Successful inseminations have been made with sperm 30 years old.
Do I have to ship it the same day as collection?
Yes! Please plan your collection to be near early afternoon so you can drop off your collection kit the same day and it is sent overnight to our lab.
