The average is eight (8) months for all age groups combined. A woman under 35 can expect an average conception time of 4 to 5 months, whereas conception for a woman approaching 40 (or over 40) may take many months, or even years, without medical intervention. If you're under 35 and don't conceive in 4 to 5 months, a fertility evaluation (and treatment, if indicated) combined with intrauterine insemination will increase the chances of pregnancy for most women.

Cryopreserved sperm have been known to fertilize oocytes and result in pregnancies, after more than ten years of storage. However, there is no way to guarantee that cryopreserved sperm will be able to fertilize an oocyte. By utilizing the highest quality freezing solutions available, computer controlled programming equipment for freezing and maintaining rigidly controlled storage conditions, NYCryo maximizes the duration of sperm survival

Sperm can be frozen indefinitely. There have been normal pregnancies from sperm stored frozen for up to 20 years.

Samples of sperm are frozen in straws and stored in a tank which contains liquid nitrogen. The samples may be kept frozen for many years like this.

Sperm can live in a woman's body for 5 sometimes 7 days, therefore a woman can get pregnant if she has sex up to 5 sometimes 7 days before ovulation.

Current research indicates that washed sperm can live 24-72 hours; however, it does lose potency after 12-24 hours. Another issue with IUI is that the sperm can keep on swimming beyond the fallopian tube, so the ideal window is really within 6-12 hours of the egg being released; with a larger margin before ovulation than after since the egg's viability is shorter. Sperm can live up to 5 days in fertile mucus, 2-3 days being common, so combining IUI with intercourse may provide better coverage.

We charge an initial registration fee of $150, which includes an introductory consultation with a licensed Medical Provider and ongoing support throughout the insemination process. A vial of frozen sperm from PRS costs anywhere from $325 to $495, depending on whether the donor is Willing To Be Known (WTBK) or Anonymous, and the type of specimen desired (ICI or IUI). There are storage and shipping costs as well as Insemination costs if PRS does your insemination.

Frozen products generally have a best before date on each packet. They last- between 12 to 18 months if stored under ideal domestic storage conditions, which is at temperatures between ?15 to ?18 degrees Celsius.

Yes, in theory it is possible for any contact between a female's genital area and male sperm to end in pregnancy.

Frozen sperm must be stored in extremely cold temperatures (minus 196 C in liquid nitrogen), the freezing process is gradual to ensure that the fewest possible sperm are damaged.

Frozen material (sperm, embryos, etc.) can be ordered through http://neuromice.org/; however, please contact nmf-mice@jax.org for availablity, costs and additional details. Recovery, shipping and handling costs will be the responsibility of the recipient. Typically, there are no "extra" mice in the NMF program for additional screens - we operate at full capacity. However, there are two ways in which qualified extramural investigators may screen mice from the program.

A patient acutely ill and in need of urgent therapy needs to bank prior to starting treatment. Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy and Surgery all have the potential of permanently impairing sperm production or the presence of sperm in the ejaculate. In addition, Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy might alter the DNA of sperm. Therefore, it is usually recommended that 1 to 2 years elapse prior to using fresh sperm for conception.

Usually the sample is collected through ejaculation by masturbation into a sterile semen collection container in a private room at the clinic. From the time the sample is received, it takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to make the sample ready for insemination. The amount of time may vary depending on the sperm quality, as special techniques may be required.

soon as one month but the first check is at 2 months, some women have become pregnant as early as the first month after the surgery

Sperm can live up to 7 days inside a woman’s vagina. If you are within 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex emergency contraception is an option. If you are more than 10 days after unprotected sex, you may want to take a pregnancy test. These are available at most Planned Parenthood clinics.

That depends on the nature of the problem and the age of the patient. In general, we would try a given therapy for up to six cycles, but the therapeutic program, including type and duration of therapies, is tailored to the needs of each patient/couple.

Sperms live in your body 78 days from the beginning of their development until they are ejaculated. It therefore takes a minimum of four months after surgery, to see significant improvement in semen analysis. Improvement can be seen for up to two years.

A.: Sperm require around three months to fully mature. Once you remove the offending condition then three months are needed for a new cycle of sperm to be released. Some men see improvements in their semen analysis sooner if the offending condition is minor. Some men take longer to improve if the size and firmness of their testicles are poor.

Please visit the Patient Information Sheet on Semen Analysis. Directions to Memphis Fertility Laboratory can be found here.

Theoretically, once frozen, embryos can be stored for hundreds of years. Healthy babies have been born from transfers of embryos stored for more than 10 years.

After getting them fresh from the barrel, they can be kept refrigerated for up to 7 days. Alternatively, they can be frozen for up to 3 months if packed and stored properly.

Knowing your time of ovulation is crucial to successful conception. Your fertile period starts about 4-5 days before ovulation, and ends about 24-48 hours after it. For more information, see Ovulation and Pregnancy.

We will extract the cells from the tooth within 24 hours of receiving it. Upon a successful extraction following our stringent procedures and within FDA guidelines, then we will cryogenically store the cells under a unique sample tracking number.

Chilling both the water and alcohol, if used, allows the first batch to freeze faster. Typically, indoors a batch will freeze in less than 30 minutes, outside on warm days, it make take up to one hour. Also, there is no waiting between batches because you add to the top reservoir when the mix-low light comes on. Most frozen drink machines on the market will re-liquefy the drink mix when a new batch is added, thus requiring your guests to have to wait for the drinks to be ready.

It depends. After 6-12 months, if not pregnant, we recommend a repeat hysterosalpingogram (dye that is injected through the uterus into the fallopian tubes) to confirm that the tubes healed open. If open which is likely, it could take up to two years after the surgery.
