Freeze your sperm

Take control of your fertility, preserve your sperm and improve the chances of having a baby in the future.

Who should consider sperm freezing?

Men freeze their sperm for many reasons, including for use within surrogacy and ahead of medical treatments that may affect fertility, such as chemotherapy or gender reassignment. Sperm freezing can also be chosen by men who are about to have a vasectomy, or have a low sperm count, and are undergoing our IVF + ICSI treatment.

How sperm freezing works

The method that we use for egg freezing is known as egg vitrification, with the whole process usually taking around 2 weeks to complete. This can be broken down into 4 steps:

1
Testing
Firstly, blood tests will be carried out to check for infectious diseases including HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.
2
Written consent
You will then need to provide written consent for us to store your sperm, in accordance with the law.
3
Sperm sample
Following this, you will then produce the sperm sample at one of our partner clinics.
4
Sperm frozen
Once you have provided us with a sample, your sperm will be frozen in small batches, and stored inside liquid nitrogen.

What storage is included?

Our sperm freezing package includes all treatment services required for one full sperm freezing cycle (from one sperm production episode), and storage for one year. The frozen sperm can be thawed whenever you are ready to use it.

Total cost: £920

All inclusive cost. No surprises.

Usual Patient Profile

You are a good candidate if you meet any of the following critera:

→ Men who have a vasectomy planned, but would like to have sperm available in case they change their mind about having (more) children

→ Men with a low sperm count, or deteriorating sperm quality

→ Men experiencing difficulty producing a semen sample during fertility treatment

→ Males transitioning to females, who wish to preserve fertility before starting hormone therapy or reconstructive surgery

→ Men at risk of injury or death (for example, members of the Armed Forces who are being deployed to a war zone)

→ Men intended to start treatment using a surrogate.

Usual Patient Profile

You are a good candidate if you meet any of the following critera:

→ If you have been trying to get pregnant for a year, we usually recommend fertility diagnostics. In certain situations, we may recommend them sooner than this.

→ If you have any questions on whether diagnostics are right for you, please get in touch with one of our advisors to discuss your background and fertility history.

Our approach is different

All inclusive pricing and as much at-home care as possible.

Our costs may look higher. But, you won’t get any surprises.

All-inclusive pricing means that the quoted price covers everything, including medications, monitoring, procedures, and any other necessary services.

You won't get any surprises or hidden costs later on. With other clinics, you may not include certain expenses upfront, so you could end up paying more than you expected.

Total cost: £920

All inclusive cost. No surprises.
