Sperm Storage Services

Where can I freeze my sperm? Why should I freeze my sperm? Is sperm storage possible in my unique circumstances?

These are some of the most common questions we get from people looking into cryopreservation. We are here to give you the answers you need to make the right decision for you and your family.

Sperm Bank Storage for Every Path to Parenthood

No two family-building journeys look the same, and at Fairfax Cryobank, we don’t treat them that way. Whether you’re an LGBTQ+ couple using donor sperm, navigating infertility with your partner, or building your family as a single mother by choice, our sperm bank storage services support your needs with care, transparency, and expertise built over nearly 40 years.

Why consider sperm storage?

There are many reasons people consider cryopreservation of their sperm.

To overcome the risk of infertility due to cancer-related therapies

Before you or your loved one begins cancer treatment, ask your doctor about the risks of sterility.

Treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation may impact your fertility. Opting for sperm storage prior to or in the early stages of treatment offer peace of mind that your journey to biological parenthood is preserved.

When stored properly, cryopreserved specimens remain viable for an indefinite period. Sperm stored for 20 years prior to thawing have resulted in pregnancies, so even if you don’t want children soon, sperm storage is still an option.

Here at Fairfax Cryobank, we understand that you need to begin cancer treatment as soon as possible. We reserve appointment times for oncology patients every morning.

To preserve reproductive capability following surgery

If you are scheduled to undergo testicular, prostate, or similar surgery, our easy, effective semen storage process can help protect your reproductive capability.

To get peace of mind prior to a vasectomy

Vasectomy is a popular method of birth control, but it can be difficult to reverse. Banking your sperm before this procedure gives you peace of mind that, if your circumstances change in the future, you can still satisfy your fertility needs.

To prepare for assisted reproductive technology procedures

Storing semen prior to IVF, IUI, ICSI, or a similar procedure ensures the specimen is readily available.

To preserve fertility before gender-affirming hormone replacement treatment (GAHT)

For MTF trans patients, banking specimens before hormone treatment preserves future fertility options.

To help oligozoospermia patients

If you have oligozoospermia – that is, a low sperm concentration – sperm storage can be an effective treatment. We concentrate and cryopreserve semen specimens before storage. The specimens are then pooled by the physician to increase the probability of pregnancy.

To overcome other challenges or high-risk circumstances

Many occupations put men at risk of injuring their reproductive system, including:

• Those working with environmental pollutants
• Those working in X-ray or nuclear environments
• Those prone to falls and injuries, such as firemen, policemen, and construction workers
• Athletes: Hockey, soccer, basketball, football players, etc

Men in military service may also be at a higher risk of injury. That’s why we offer a Special Program for Active-Duty Military personnel: the first year of sperm storage is free. Contact our customer service team to find out more.

For LGBTQ+ Families

Fairfax Cryobank has a long-standing commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. Our client services team is knowledgeable, affirming, and fully supportive of your choice to have children, whatever your family structure looks like. For those ready to move forward, we offer a Home Insemination Savings Package designed for LGBTQ+ individuals and families: three premium donor sperm vials, six months of complimentary storage, and one free shipping credit, for a total savings of $1,445. It’s a straightforward way to plan for multiple insemination cycles without unpredictable costs.

For Single Mothers by Choice

Choosing to grow your family on your own is a deeply personal decision, and it comes with plenty of logistical questions. Our client services team is here to walk you through everything from selecting a donor to understanding your semen storage options and next steps. With one of the largest and most diverse donor catalogs available and tools like Fairfax FaceMatch to help find a donor who resembles you, we make the process feel supported.

The Safest Sperm Storage Starts With Monitoring That Never Stops

Once your specimens are received at Fairfax Cryobank, two trained personnel independently verify and check them in before they ever enter a long-term storage tank. Those tanks are monitored around the clock, inspected daily to replenish liquid nitrogen, and operate independently of electricity. You’ll receive an inventory confirmation letter with your account number, vial count, and specimen types after your samples arrive. Our staff is on call 24 hours a day in case anything requires attention.
