Mail-in sperm testing and freezing makes fertility care easy and affordable for your patients.

The process of sperm freezing is very quick with Legacy:
In theory, it can take as little as 3 days from start to finish. So, you don’t need to postpone your hormone therapy in order to accomplish your fertility preservation goals.
As long as sperm is kept frozen in a high quality cryogenic lab like Legacy’s, it can be stored indefinitely with no significant impact on its quality or the chances that it will result in a healthy pregnancy. That means you can keep your sperm frozen until you’re done with your cancer treatment and ready to think about family building.
Short answer: as many as you can afford. But the ideal number of samples to store also depends on your future plans. A few questions you might consider:
Do you have kids already? If you don’t, there may be a higher chance that you’ll want kids in the future, even if you’re sure you don’t want them right now. (Hence the vasectomy!)
How old are you? If you’re in your 20s or 30s, it’s more likely that your family plans may change in the future.
Generally speaking, one vial of sperm is used in each IUI or IVF procedure.
1 semen sample = 4 vials of frozen sperm
1 vial of frozen sperm = 1 IUI or IVF procedure
IUI pregnancy rates range from 10–25% per cycle; IVF success rates range from 5–50% per cycle. So, you may need multiple attempts to achieve pregnancy.
You can use your frozen sperm in an intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. Generally speaking, one vial of sperm is used in each IUI or IVF procedure.
1 semen sample = 4 vials of frozen sperm
1 vial of frozen sperm = 1 IUI or IVF procedure
The chances of conceiving with frozen sperm depend on several factors:
IUI pregnancy rates range from 10–25% per cycle; IVF success rates range from 5–50% per cycle. So, you may need multiple attempts to achieve pregnancy. The good news is that using frozen sperm doesn’t affect your chances of success. IUI and IVF pregnancy rates are the same for those using frozen sperm, compared to “fresh.”

Legacy offers the only clinically validated at-home option for sperm DNA fragmentation testing.
Our research, forthcoming in the American Journal of Men's Health, demonstrates that Legacy's kit protects sperm integrity, and that transit within our kit does not impact sperm DNA fragmentation index or morphology.
With Legacy, long-term sperm storage is 6x more affordable than at a traditional clinic.
That compares to about $500 per sample, per year, at a traditional clinic.
Legacy at-home semen analysis begins at $145. The cost at a traditional clinic can range from $250 to $500, and it requires a prescription from a doctor.
Like traditional clinics, testing with Legacy is covered by many health insurance plans, including Veterans' benefits, and fertility benefits providers.
