Cryopreservation of human sperm (Sperm Banking) was initially
employed as an aid to circumvent certain forms of infertility. More recently banking of
human sperm has been employed for a number of different reasons. Although this technique
has been utilized in humans for more than two decades in the U.S, the potential
expectations for the users are not all clear. It is the purpose of this website to give
you general information about it and help you make an informed decision if you elect to
use sperm banking.
Bear in mind that the present information is only a guide based
on estimations obtained from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). This
does not constitute a guarantee that you are going to achieve a pregnancy with the
cryopreserved semen specimens. Basically you are going to weigh your estimated potential
to fertilize and produce a pregnancy against the estimated efficiency of the different
existing alternatives to conceive and its costs.
