How long can you store sperm at home?

If the sperm is stored at room temperature, the sperm quality and motility decrease to a point where it is not possible to use the sperm for fertility treatment. Therefore, we do not recommend you store sperm at home, but instead, contact a sperm bank to have it frozen and stored in cryo-tanks at -196 degrees. If your sperm is stored properly at -196 degrees, it is possible to maintain the sperm cell’s ability to fertilize an egg for a long time.

Can you store sperm in your house for later use?

No, if you want to store your sperm for later use, we recommend you contact a sperm bank to have your sperm frozen by a professional and stored in cryo-tanks at -196 degrees.

Can you keep sperm in the fridge?

No, it is not possible to store sperm in a fridge. If the sperm cell’s ability to conceive must be preserved, the sperm needs to be stored at -196 degrees.
