Sperm Cryopreservation & Storage in Houston

PRESERVE YOUR FERTILITY AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

Sperm Cryopreservation & Storage in Houston

Whether you are preserving fertility before medical treatment, planning for future family building, or managing long-distance logistics, sperm cryopreservation (sperm freezing) is a reliable way to safeguard your reproductive options. At Advanced Fertility Center of Texas (AFCT), we utilize state-of-the-art cryopreservation techniques with on-site access to Omni Med Laboratory, ensuring that your sperm is frozen and remains viable for future use.

FERTILITY PRESERVATION

Why Consider Sperm Freezing?

Men choose sperm freezing for many reasons:

  • Before Cancer Treatment or Medical Procedures: Chemotherapy, radiation, or certain surgeries can permanently affect sperm production. Cryopreserving sperm in advance protects your future family-building options.
  • Before Vasectomy or Urological Surgery: If you plan a vasectomy or other surgery but want the possibility of future biological children, freezing sperm now gives you peace of mind.
  • Age, Lifestyle, & DNA Quality: While men remain fertile longer than women, sperm DNA quality can decline with age, environmental factors, or certain health conditions. Freezing sperm earlier preserves its best potential.
  • Extended Travel, Relocation, or Living Abroad: Whether you're in the military, traveling extensively for work, or living in another state or country, sperm cryopreservation ensures your fertility is protected—no matter where life takes you.
  • Backup for IVF or IUI Cycles: Many men freeze sperm ahead of treatment to ensure it's available on the day of the procedure, even if illness, travel, or timing conflicts arise.
  • Donor Sperm & Transport Needs: AFCT also receives and stores shipped sperm from FDA-approved sperm banks or known donors for short-term or long-term use in fertility treatment.

STEP BY STEP PROCESS

How Does Sperm Freezing Work?

Consultation Icon

Consultation & Screening

We review your medical history and perform required infectious disease screening for long-term storage.

Collection Icon

Sperm Collection

Most samples are collected privately at our clinic. If needed, surgical sperm retrieval (TESE/Micro-TESE) can be coordinated.

Analysis Icon

Semen Analysis & Preparation

Our andrology specialists evaluate your sample for sperm count, motility, and quality, then prepare it for freezing.

Storage Icon

Vitrification & Storage

Your sperm is frozen using high-survival cryopreservation techniques and stored in an FDA-compliant laboratory until you're ready to use it.

SPERM FREEZING DURATION

How Long Can Sperm Be Frozen?

Sperm can remain frozen for years, even decades, without losing viability when stored under proper conditions. There is no expiration date for frozen sperm, making it a reliable way to preserve your fertility.

Frozen sperm can be used for:

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
