Egg Freezing Process
Egg Freezing Process
Sperm banking, also known as semen freezing or sperm cryopreservation, is a procedure that involves the
collection, freezing, and storage of sperm. This process allows individuals to preserve their fertility for
future use, providing an opportunity to conceive through treatments such as intrauterine insemination
(IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). At Avisa IVF & Fertility Center, we offer a comprehensive approach
to sperm banking, ensuring that our clients have the best chance of achieving their family-building goals.
Semen Collection: The next step is to provide a semen sample. The most common method is through
masturbation in a private room at our fertility clinic. However, in some cases, a sample can be produced at
home and transported to the laboratory within a specified time frame.
Semen Analysis: Before freezing, the semen sample is analyzed to assess sperm count, motility, and
overall health. This information is crucial for determining the best course of treatment in the future.
Freezing and Storage: The semen is mixed with a cryoprotectant solution to protect the sperm during
freezing. It is then stored in liquid nitrogen at extremely low temperatures. This preserves the sperm's
viability for future use.
Thawing and Use: When the individual is ready to use the stored sperm, it is thawed and prepared for
fertility treatments such as IUI or IVF. The success rates of these treatments with thawed sperm are
comparable to those using fresh sperm.
Conclusion
Sperm banking is a valuable resource for individuals looking to preserve their fertility and expand their
family-building options in the future. At Avisa IVF & Fertility Center, we are committed to providing our
clients with the highest quality care and support throughout the sperm banking and egg freezing process.
