New York Cryo
-->
New York Cryo is the only Long Island area sperm bank licensed by the state of New York. The facility preserves and stores sperm for men with impending infertility due to vasectomy, cancer treatments or the onset of any other illness.
In general, men depositing sperm for personal use at a later time may schedule an appointment for sperm collection at any time. Men fighting cancer, however, should attempt to make deposits before beginning treatment. All men using the New York Cryo sperm banking services are encouraged to provide multiple samples for storage, particularly if the future mother is over 35 or if the man hopes to have multiple offspring. Though studies show preserved sperm are just as capable of fertilizing an egg as fresh sperm, there is no guarantee that a pregnancy will result from the use of he sperm.
In addition to banking sperm for personal use, New York Cryo also collects sperm from directed donors. These are men supplying sperm so that a specific, known female recipient may be impregnated. In all cases, sperm is collected via masturbation. If it is not to be used immediately, the sperm will then be cryopreserved and stored in the sperm bank.
The costs to preserve and store sperm vary. In general though, sperm processing will cost about $300 and storage fees for one year are about $575. In addition, the may also be fees for lab work and semen analyses. In most cases, insurance companies will only pay for sperm cryopreservation when it is a necessary step due to the onset of an infertility-evoking illness, treatment or procedure.
