Freeze sperm before ivf

Sperm cryopreservation is a safe and standardized process. If this happens, your sperm will not be used. Sperm that are no longer needed are simply removed from the freezer and allowed to perish naturally in warmer temperatures. For instance, from the timing angle, the man can give his sperm in advance, and from the location angle, the biopsy may not have to take place at the same clinic or surgery as the one the woman must attend. Within the first six months of your death or mental incapacitation we will not accept an application to use or destroy the sperm from a named partner as we want to ensure that people have time to grieve and adjust to such a huge change in circumstances before they consider the fate of the stored samples. To start on a cycle of treatment a referral letter will be required from your GP in the first instance.
