Frequently Asked Questions

Our limit is 25 families globally. We track this by asking all recipients to complete a birth report upon each successful pregnancy and follow up with them when a pregnancy is suspected. This allows us to maintain accurate and up-to-date records.

Once a Cryobank America Sperm Donor reaches their family limit, we retire them, and they are no longer allowed to donate. We save their remaining vials for families with a confirmed birth who wish to have future siblings.

We send the specimens in liquid nitrogen "dry shipper" MVE tanks via UPS or a local courier. The specimens are guaranteed in the dry shipper tanks for seven days from the date they are shipped. Shipments within the United States are sent using a 2-day or overnight service. We offer discounted delivery and pickup* in the DFW metroplex if you are local. For pickup, we require at least a 72-hour notice.

A screening test is given to those with no symptoms of the condition. An example would be the cholesterol level measurement in people with no signs of cardiovascular disease. When a person does have symptoms, however, the picture changes, as the chance of uncovering something meaningful to health is considerably more likely once a person shows signs or is at higher risk of a condition. A doctor best determines risk when they check your physical condition and "takes a history" -- asks about your signs, symptoms, and medical history completely and thoroughly.

A diagnostic test confirms a suspected condition once initial testing has revealed its possibility. Diagnostic tests are often more expensive and risky than initial tests. However, their usefulness should far outweigh their risk before being considered.

If you are a New York resident, you must complete our Clinic Release form and Home Insemination Waiver. Please contact Cryobank America if you have additional questions.

Cryobank America uses a density gradient method for processing. While it is more time-consuming and expensive, this optimal method and research have proven that it can exclude most abnormal motile cells, thus providing the best results and reducing cramping that may arise from insemination.
