What is sperm freezing?

Sperm freezing is a method of fertility preservation that allows men to try to have biological children at a later date. The process is also used to store sperm for treatment such as IVF and for other people’s treatment in the case of sperm donation.

Who should consider sperm freezing?

There are many different reasons you may want to freeze your sperm. This can include freezing it to use within surrogacy treatment, if you are due to start a medical treatment such as chemotherapy that can affect fertility, or to preserve your fertility ahead of transitioning or gender reassignment surgery.

If you have a diagnosis of low sperm count, and are looking to use your sperm for IVF & ICSI treatment, or undergoing a vasectomy then you may wish to freeze sperm as an option for the future.

How sperm freezing works

Testing

Firstly, blood tests will be carried out to check for infectious diseases including HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.

Written consent

Sperm sample

Following this, you will then produce the sperm sample at one of our partner clinics. If you are unable to provide a sample, then surgical sperm extraction is also an option available.

Sperm frozen

Once you have provided us with a sample, your sperm will be frozen in small batches, and stored inside liquid nitrogen.

You will then need to provide written consent for us to store your sperm, in accordance with the law.
