Members of the military before deployment.
Members of the military are 2 times more likely to experience infertility, due to a higher risk of injury or chemical exposure. Plus, deployments can make it difficult for couples to conceive on their own. Prevent future family-building challenges by storing your healthiest sperm — this means even with physical separation, you can continue your family-building timeline.
Those who are doing fertility treatment.
If you’re trying to conceive with IUI or IVF, it’s a great idea to have a back-up sample of frozen sperm that you know is healthy and viable. This ensures that your carefully timed fertility treatments can move forward, even if you’re not able to produce a “fresh” sample on the day of the procedure.
Those who may have kids later in life.
Many people don’t realize that sperm have a “biological clock,” too. As you age, your sperm quality declines significantly, and your likelihood of having a child with a congenital or developmental disorder increases. If you want kids — or you might want kids — but you’re not ready right now, freezing your youngest, healthiest sperm preserves all of your options.
