Treatments > Preserve Fertility > Sperm Freezing

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?

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 at using 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

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. If you are unable to provide a sample, then surgical sperm extraction is also an option available.

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: £975

All inclusive cost for one cycle. No surprises.

Sperm freezing works for

You may wish to consider sperm freezing if you identify with the following criteria:

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

→ You have a low sperm count, or deteriorating sperm quality

→ You are experiencing difficulty producing a semen sample during fertility treatment

→ You are transitioning and wish to preserve fertility before starting hormone therapy or surgery

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

→ You intend 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.

All inclusive cost. No surprises.
