Banking sperm

[Guest apostate79]

I understand that the best time for doing this is before the first dose of hormones, but would there a period of at least a few days afterwards where this would still be feasible?

The general timeline is that you need to do it by 6 months, as thats the ''average'' time you hit infertility. But, as everyone is different, you need to do it as soon as possible, both for sanity's sake and because your time might come a fair bit quicker than the average.

In my experience by the end of the first month my old sex drive was totally gone. It is possible there is some chance you're fertile up to six months after starting HRT but the sperm count or quality may be low or compromised. It's best to take care of this before HRT and it's important to be sure you can manage the cost as it can be a bit pricey. Even if you can aford it the sample can only keep for roughly 7 years. In 7 years time will you have the finances to produce and raise the child born from this?

Lots of things to consider. Its best to think about it early.

Hello,

I have saved sperm circa 2001, and per scientific literature, the longest that sperm has been in storage is 28 years and still produce a child. I gleamed this information from Cryobank of California and other internet information. I have done this since I am a m2f tg, who plans to transition via hrt and other face/body modifications. Don't know if I will have grs.

Lucia,

Here is an article that mentions the exact publication, date and how cryopreseveration of sperm can result in children.

NEW YORK -- Daxor Corporation (AMEX AMEX

See: American Stock Exchange : DXR), a medical instrumentation and biotechnology company, today announced the publication of a case report documenting two successful pregnancies following insemination insemination artificial insemination (AI) that done by artificial means. with semen cryopreserved for 21 and 28 years. The father stored his sperm in 1972 at the age of 28. This is the world record for the longest cryopreservation of semen resulting in live births. The successful pregnancies were additionally notable because they were achieved using intrauterine artificial insemination, rather than the more complex surgical procedure of in vitro fertilizationin vitro fertilization (vē`trō, vĭ`trō), technique for conception of a human embryo outside the mother's body. Several ova, or eggs, are removed from the mother's body and placed in special laboratory culture dishes (Petri dishes);

The case report was published in the October 2005 issue of Fertility and Sterility. Authors included Joseph Feldshuh, MD, and James Brassel, MD, of Idant Laboratories; Nancy Durso, MD, of the Mid-Atlantic Fertility Center in Bethesda, MD; and Allen Levine, MD, of the Orange OB/GYN Association in Middletown, NY.

The semen was stored at Idant Laboratories, a wholly owned subsidiaryWholly Owned Subsidiary

In contrast to the more commonly used rack and cane system, this method allows for retrieval of individual specimens without removing any other specimens from continuous liquid nitrogen immersion. The rack and cane system may expose specimens to room air multiple times. Even brief exposure to room temperature air may contribute to loss of sperm vitality over time. "At the present time, the FDA does not mandate proof of effectiveness of viable semen storage," said Dr. Joseph Feldschuh, president of Daxor and former laboratory director of Idant. Only a few semen storage facilities in the United States use the carousel canister system. Idant is one of a small number of semen storage facilities accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks.

The majority of patients who store their sperm do so to preserve fertility following treatment for cancer. The Lance Armstrong Foundation, founded by Lance Armstrong, a cancer survivor who successfully fathered children using cryopreserved sperm, supports mandatory insurance coverage of semen storage prior to cancer treatment. Currently, insurance coverage of this procedure varies according to individual companies and policies.
