Egg & Sperm Freezing
Preserve your fertility with our trusted sperm freezing and semen storage services at our Southern California fertility clinic.
There are situations in life when the depositing of sperm in a long-term storage bank offers options for future preservation and peace of mind. Sperm freezing and sperm banking offer fertility preservation solutions that many males and females find beneficial for future fertility treatments. The two primary reasons for sperm freezing are long-term preservation for later use by depositors and availability of sperm for donor insemination. Our state-of-the-art facilities located in West Hollywood, Riverside, and Glendora provide cost-effective solutions to individuals and couples looking to preserve sperm quality through cryopreservation technology.
Top Reasons Why Men Should Consider Sperm Freezing & Storage
Some of the general benefits of sperm freezing include, long-term protection of sperm quality, option for future use in fertility treatments, all while being a cost-effective solution. For may males however, there are some unique reasons that include:
Storage before undergoing cancer therapies
Cancer therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation can cause permanent sterility and infertility. Having their sperm frozen can preserve future fertility.
Preservation before having prostate or testicular cancer
Testicular surgery, prostatectomy and similar surgeries can cause sterility, or redirect the flow of semen into the urinary bladder. Sperm cryopreservation can ensure that men who have these surgeries can preserve their reproductive capabilities.
If you are considering a vasectomy
Sperm cryopreservation can preserve fertility and prevent the need for reversal surgery if personal circumstances change.
When you are involved with assisted reproductive technologies
Sperm can be stored for use with IUI, IVF, ICSI, GIFT, and other similar procedures so that it is available at a critical time. Sperm that is obtained through sperm aspiration, vibratory stimulation, or through surgery can be stored to prevent the need for additional procedures.
If you have a high-risk occupation
High risk professions with exposure to chemicals, radiation, extreme heat, etc. can cause sterility in men.
Low sperm count or low-quality sperm
Higher-quality sperm samples can be frozen for later use with IVF and ICSI. Specimens can be pooled to increase the likelihood of achieving pregnancy.
Ejaculatory Dysfunction
It is thought that sperm number and quality decreases over time when ejaculation doesn’t occur. Therefore, in cases where men can’t ejaculate, such as with spinal cord injury, preserving sperm as early as possible may increase their fertility chances.
If you are going to be absent
Sperm freezing enables the female partner to continue with her reproductive schedule even if the male partner can’t be there, due to a busy schedule, unforeseen events, etc.

Sperm Cryopreservation Procedure
The process in which a male store and banks his sperm is a relatively quick and easy process. Our experienced staff will be walking you throughout the entire process to ensure your preparation, analysis, and preservation of sperm.
When working with Reproductive Fertility Center, this is what to expect when cryopreserving your sperm:
Obtaining the Semen Sample
Semen samples are collected in a sterile container. It is recommended that patients abstain for at least three days, but not more than ten days. In patients who cannot ejaculate on their own, samples can be collected using vibratory stimulation or testicular sperm aspiration.
Semen Analysis
Once collected, semen samples are analyzed for volume, viscosity and pH levels, and microscopically evaluated to determine motility, sperm count, morphology and other important factors.
Semen/Sperm Cryopreservation
Cryoprotectant is added to the semen to control sperm damage caused by freezing. The specimen is then divided into individual cryo-vials, placed into liquid nitrogen vapor for 3 hours, and then plunged into liquid nitrogen. At a temperature of -196°C all metabolic activity is halted. Semen can thus be preserved for many years.

“Eternally Grateful”
It is amazing what a difference a year can make. Last year we were feeling depressed and anxious and unsure about whether or not this would happen for us. This year we are expecting the birth of our first child. Dr. Saadat is amazing. You will feel the difference right away between his office and any other office around. They must make it a rule there to only hire friendly, compassionate people because everyone there was so sweet – especially all the nurses. Thanks again for everything guys!
"Felt Welcome From the Start"
I wanted to say thank you to the entire staff for making us feel welcome to our first visit especially on a Saturday. We met with Dr. Sadaat and was very informative and took time with us with all of our questions. For the financial department, Melissa was very helpful with keeping in contact with us regarding any paperwork that we needed as well as with setting our appointment. We do look forward for treatment with Dr. Saadat.
"The Solution to Our Problems"
We just celebrated our son’s first birthday, and thought we should send out warm wishes to Dr. Saadat and his team as well. Without them this would not have been possible. We had “unexplained” infertility issues and the first clinic we went to was not very friendly and we felt like we were just another “cycle”. Dr. Saadat was always willing to answer questions and the nurses there were terrific. I felt like everyone in the office was on our side, and that makes a huge difference. So thank you to everyone from Anna, Michael and Alex.
"One Big Thank You"
Dr Saadat is very open and accommodating to my financial and medical concerns. He doesn’t force unnecessary tests like other places do. He’s a very nice and efficient reproductive endocrinologist.
"Helpful in Every Way"
We traveled across the world to be treated by Dr. Saadat. My wife was not able to have babies and we could not get an answer from Doctors in our country why. It is also important in our culture that our first baby be male. Dr. Saadat was able to help my wife get pregnant and make sure that we had a baby boy. They were helpful in every way and we felt comfortable even though we are not from the United States. Everyone was patient and understanding and respectful. We will be back in a few years to grow our family.
"It's Never Too Late!"
All I can say is do not give up hope! I was 43 when I got pregnant for the first time. I had honestly been trying for years. I now have 3 beautiful children, a 6 year old girl and 3 year old twins – a boy and a girl. I feel blessed every day. It can happen. Thank you Dr. Saadat.
"The Perfect Fit for the Job"
I came to Dr. Saadat’s office because I felt like the Doctor I was working with was not a good fit. It isn’t that they were doing anything wrong but I did not feel a connection. This is such a personal type of medical treatment, and I want the people helping me to make me feel cared for. Dr. Saadat’s approach is also a bit different – he does all the ultrasounds himself – which is very reassuring. His staff is great, and his bedside manner is comforting. I am thankful for everything they all did, and thankful everyday for my daughter!
