Choosing the Best Place to Store Your Reproductive Tissue

• What Is the Best Place to Store Embryos?

  Embryos require consistent temperature and secure identification systems. The ideal storage facility should offer 24/7 monitoring and backup systems in the case of an emergency. Patients should also consider a facility with proven success in handling embryo transfers and multi-year preservation. At HavenCryo, we provide best-in-class storage protocols and support during transfer and thawing. 

• What Is the Best Place to Store Eggs?

  Vitrified eggs are fragile and must be stored in optimal conditions. Whether a patient is preserving their own eggs or utilizing donor eggs, they need assurance that they’ll remain viable for as long as they need. HavenCryo uses advanced freezing protocols and inventory systems to safeguard every egg stored at our facility.

• What Is the Best Place to Store Sperm?

  Sperm can be frozen for decades, but longevity depends on proper maintenance and labeling. Whether a patient is storing their sperm for fertility preservation or donor use, HavenCryo offers secure, monitored storage with full transparency. 

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I move eggs/sperm/embryos from my clinic to HavenCryo?

  Yes! Once you request to transport your tissue, we’ll work closely alongside your clinic to facilitate their safe and secure transfer to our facility. We verify the temperature and integrity of every shipping tank before placing any tissue inside. After your embryologist and a second witness identify and verify your materials, we’ll safely transfer them to the shipping tank. A dedicated medical courier who specializes in transporting highly sensitive materials will then retrieve the shipping tank. The tank is either flown via a commercial airline or driven by a medical courier to its destination. 

  We track your tank from the moment it leaves your clinic until it arrives at HavenCryo. We’ll also keep you updated every step of the way so you can have peace of mind that your eggs, sperm, or embryos are safe through each stage of the transport process.

• Is HavenCryo more affordable than clinic storage?

  HavenCryo offers more affordable long-term storage than fertility clinics can. Fertility treatments like IVF are becoming increasingly popular, so storage space at most fertility clinics is limited. As a result, storage can be costly. Alternatively, HavenCryo was specially built to store a significant amount of eggs, sperm, and embryos. We offer more affordable storage options without sacrificing the safety and security of your reproductive materials.

• How do I know HavenCryo is safe?

  It’s understandably challenging to trust someone else with your eggs, sperm, or embryos. At HavenCryo, we’re committed to giving you the utmost peace of mind that your materials are in the best of hands. 

  We have a 24/7 real-time monitoring system that includes multiple redundancies for enhanced protection. We also utilize continuous temperature monitoring and live infrared video footage that allows us to visualize tank temperatures at all times, day and night. Additionally, we chose our facility’s location in a weather-neutral area, so the risk of natural disasters or power outages affecting your tissues is minimal.
