What is your Family Limit?

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.

How are the semen specimens packaged and shipped?

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.

*Please see our Pricing for additional local pick-up options

What is the difference between Screening and Testing?

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.

Do you offer private storage options?

Yes. We offer several storage options for individuals wanting to privately store their specimens. Please see our Personal Sperm Banking for more information. This is a great way to protect you and your family.

Can I do insemination at home, without a Doctor?

Yes. You must first register for your free or premium membership to purchase vials. Once you are registered and have signed our Home Insemination Waiver, we'll ship your vials with our at-home insemination kit so you can perform the insemination independently at home. 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.

How does Cryobank America process semen and why?

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.
