Strange frost formation on my car's windshield ~2am New Year's Day '08
We had my husbands sperm frozen and we have to call in 24 hours before I pick it up for insemination, so they can thaw it out then put it in
a vile. So How long will it live after its been thawed out. Im asking because I have an hour drive to my doctor after I pick it up.
THANKS!
because he passed away in Iraq and I cant asshole.
why don't you guys just do it??????? instead of freezing his sperm and injecting it
I was curious to ask, if sperm is frozen wouldn't it die? Or does it just get heated up and poof?
I'm not sure why I was thinking about this, but it was something that crossed my mind before going to sleep last night.
it's cryogenicelly frozen so it's frozen so fast it doesn't die. Usually some do when they are thawed.
Just out of curiosity- if a guy freezes a sample of his sperm, does it "expire" (just using that term for lack of a better one) after being frozen for a certain amount of time?
Also, what temperatures can such a sample withstand?
I was seriously just bored, and wanted to learn something new. XD
Most sperm banks keep their samples at liquid nitrogen temperatures. That's 77K (or -197 C).
I've heard that specimens can be kept for a decade or more but there must be some loss every year. As a consequence, while they theoretically could last 50 years or more, the useful "life" is probably five to ten years.

Ask your fertility doctor for a recommended list of sperm banks that she considers reputable. Feel free to ask me for the list of banks that I recommend to my patients. I also ask my patients to send me the donor’s information before they purchase the vial. Having a medical doctor review your donor’s history may help you make the wisest donor choice. I generally recommend medicated cycles for patients over 30. But this is not a requirement. If you’d rather try natural cycle inseminations, you definitely can, but realize your chances of pregnancy are going to be lower with sperm that was frozen compared to fresh sperm. So if you are over 30, strongly consider taking a fertility pill like Clomid or Femara. This will potentially increase your chances of getting pregnant so you get pregnant sooner than later. Realize that this does increase your chances of twins. Fertility medications have side effects so talk to your doc about whether you would be a candidate for fertility drugs . Why would this be important? You don’t want to spend thousands of dollars only to find out that your fallopian tubes were blocked the whole time and you should have been doing IVF. Even if you don’t have any risk factors for blocked tubes (Chlamydia, Endometriosis, a history of appendicitis to name a few) doesn’t mean your tubes aren’t blocked. It’s worth checking and may even increase your chances of conceiving if you try right after your tube test. Your doctor may recommend a hysterosalpingogram or a saline infusion sonogram to check your tubes. Track your ovulation as you are getting close to your first insemination cycle. This way, you will know when you’re ovulating and how to plan your life around your treatment. If you are under 30 and your ovulation is not regular, you may want to add a fertility pill. If you are over 30...
