Sperm Freezing

There are so many decisions to make when you decide to pursue IVF. Depending on your scenario, and the presence of male infertility factor(s), one of the questions may be, “should we use fresh or frozen sperm for our IVF cycle?” The good news is that – in almost all cases – pregnancy and live birth rates are the same for both fresh and frozen sperm with IVF-ICSI cycles.

Using Frozen Sperm for IVF

If the husband is unable to produce fresh sperm on the day of oocyte retrieval due to stress or situational impotence, a frozen sample might salvage the IVF cycle.

Couples using repeat IVF cycles. While IVF can be successful the first time around, most couples find it requires multiple cycles before they enjoy a successful pregnancy and live birth. Using frozen sperm, rather than fresh sperm, reduces the number of male partner procedures with each successive IVF cycle. This increases both convenience and affordability.
