Include a pre-freeze STI test?
Most fertility clinics require patients to have proof of STI testing from the time sperm was frozen. We highly recommend doing an at-home STI test, so you can use your sample at any clinic in the future.

Evidence-based recommendations for improving your fertility health, based on your lifestyle and your personal results.
Anyone planning a medical treatment that could impact fertility. Examples include testosterone therapy, gender-affirming hormone therapy, and chemotherapy. Freezing sperm now allows you to focus on your physical and mental health, and have the option to build a family in the future.
Those planning a vasectomy. A small percentage of people who opt for a vasectomy will change their minds in the future, and decide they want (more) children. A vasectomy reversal is an expensive and complex surgery with no guarantee of recovered fertility. Sperm freezing before vasectomy is a less expensive, more reliable choice.
Members of the military. Servicemembers are more likely to experience infertility than civilians, due to a higher risk of injury and chemical exposure. Plus, deployments can make it difficult for couples to conceive. Storing your healthiest sperm before deployment protects your fertility and allows you to build a family even with physical separation.
Anyone who may have kids later in life. Many people don’t realize that sperm have a “biological clock.” As you age, your sperm quality declines significantly, and your likelihood of having a child with a congenital or developmental disorder increases. If you want kids — or you might want kids — but you’re not ready right now, freezing your youngest, healthiest sperm preserves all of your options.

A different kind of life insurance
Research shows frozen sperm is as effective as “fresh” for IUI or IVF. Your sample can be stored for as long as you need — sperm frozen for 40 years has been used to create healthy babies.
Safe travels
Our kit includes a clinically tested, FDA-approved sperm transport liquid. This solution stabilizes pH, prevents bacterial growth, and maintains sperm health during overnight shipping.
Not your household freezer
Our lab uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and store your sample at -320ºF, so all biological activity is paused. That means your sperm won’t age a day in storage.
A back-up for your back-up
Every sample frozen with Legacy is split and stored at multiple cryogenic facilities for extra security, even in the case of a natural disaster.
For your use only
Your sample’s unique identifier is double-checked at every step. At Legacy, your sperm is stored for you and you alone — never donated, sold, or experimented with.
The Legacy kit makes it all possible.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
Talk to a fertility advisor
If you’re interested in sperm freezing, you’re likely wondering, “How long does frozen sperm last?” The good news: Sperm can be frozen for decades and still create a healthy pregnancy. That’s according to research which has found that sperm can essentially be frozen indefinitely as long as it’s preserved at an appropriate temperature. (Legacy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze your sample at -196ºC.)
A National Institutes of Health study reported that three different samples of frozen sperm had produced healthy pregnancies via assisted reproductive methods after 21, 28, and 40 years of freezing, respectively.
With Legacy, long-term sperm storage is more affordable than at a traditional clinic. Five years of storage costs $119 per sample, per year. The longer you store, the more you save: 25 years of storage costs $35.53 per sample, per year. That compares to about $500 per sample, per year, at a traditional clinic.
You can use your frozen sperm by transferring it to a healthcare provider or clinic for assisted reproductive methods such as IVF (in vitro fertilization) and IUI (intrauterine insemination). Transferring your sperm from Legacy to a qualified provider is easy; you can start the process with a few clicks in your client dashboard.
Each Legacy kit collects one semen sample. At our lab, each sample is divided into 4 vials of sperm — that’s up to 4 tries to get pregnant utilizing IUI or IVF. Generally speaking, it takes 2–4 rounds of assisted reproductive treatment methods to create a pregnancy. So we recommend buying one kit for each child you hope to have in the future.
If your analysis reveals that your sample isn’t viable for freezing — for example, if no sperm was found in your sample — you have a few options. You can speak to one of our male fertility specialists to understand what may be affecting your fertility, as well as some next steps you may want to take. You also may want to re-test to confirm any abnormal results.
Don’t worry: if your sample is deemed not viable for storage by our lab, we’ll refund you for the storage plan you purchased as well as any unused services, such as additional testing that could not be performed.
