Oncofertility & Long-Term Cryostorage

Why Long-Term Cryopreservation Storage Matters

Long-term cryopreservation is important for patients about to undergo cancer care who want to have biological children after treatment. At HavenCryo, we can safely store eggs, sperm, and embryos for extended periods of time. 

• Embryo Storage

  A woman or man about to undergo cancer treatment can create embryos to save for future use. An embryo is an egg that has been fertilized by sperm that can then be implanted into the uterus of the intended carrier, hopefully resulting in a successful pregnancy. HavenCryo can safely pick up and deliver frozen embryos to and from your fertility clinic and store them in our world-class facility for as long as you need. 

• Egg Storage

  Cancer treatment can impact female reproductive organs and the quality and quantity of her eggs. Before cancer treatment, a woman can choose to freeze her eggs and preserve her fertility. When eggs are properly retrieved, frozen, and stored, they can remain viable for many years. HavenCryo offers advanced long-term storage technology to ensure the safety and security of the eggs and other reproductive tissue for the long term. 

• Sperm Storage

  Men about to undergo radiation or chemotherapy can successfully freeze and store their sperm for use after their treatment is complete. At HavenCryo, we don’t perform the freezing process ourselves, but we’ll transfer sperm from your fertility clinic and store it in our state-of-the-art facility. When you’re ready to use it, we’ll safely transfer the sample back to any clinic where you’re receiving care.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I transfer tissue to HavenCryo from my fertility clinic?

  Absolutely. HavenCryo can facilitate the safe transfer of your tissue from your fertility clinic to our world-class long-term storage facility. 

• Is it safe to store eggs, sperm, or embryos for more than 10 years?

  Yes! When frozen properly and stored in the right conditions, eggs, sperm, and embryos don’t have an expiration date. While pregnancy isn’t guaranteed, cryopreservation can give cancer patients the best chances of preserving their future facility. 

• How do long-term cryopreservation costs compare to storing at my fertility clinic?

  As treatments like IVF become more and more popular, storage space at fertility clinics is becoming increasingly limited. Prices rise as a result, which can be financially unfeasible for many patients, especially those who wish to store their reproductive tissue for a year or longer. Long-term storage facilities like HavenCryo were specifically designed to accommodate a large number of eggs, sperm, and embryos for long periods. Our storage services are more affordable than fertility clinics without sacrificing the safety and security of your tissues.

• What happens if I move or change doctors?

  Life happens, and when it does, you don’t have to worry about your reproductive materials. HavenCryo can deliver your eggs, sperm, or embryos to any clinic where you’re receiving care.

• Can HavenCryo help coordinate pickup and delivery?

  Yes! HavenCryo will work alongside your fertility clinic to safely pick up, transfer, and deliver your reproductive materials to our state-of-the-art facility. When you’re ready to use your tissue, we’ll securely transport your tissue to the fertility clinic of your choosing.
