Storing sperm is a simple way to protect against the possibility of future fertility loss. Many of our clients have cited medical procedures such as vasectomy, cancer treatment, and the surgical or hormonal treatments associated with gender-confirming surgery as common reasons for banking sperm. There are many factors that may increase the risk of fertility loss: occupations or recreational activities that could result in injury to the spine or reproductive organs are several, but exposure to chemicals or radiation could also cause harmful genetic mutation. Common medications and chronic diseases that cause erectile dysfunction can indirectly impair fertility as well.

Physicians also recommend banking some sperm as a temporary “backup” if you are undergoing In-vitro Fertilization IVF (IVF) treatment. CAN-AM has been providing sperm freezing and banking services since 2001. Our Blood Testing request form will help you and your doctor complete the infectious disease blood testing necessary for storing your sperm. Then, either fax or email us your results.

BLOOD TESTING REQUEST FORMS

Your storage account can be set up by completing the account registration forms. Bring everything filled out to your appointment, or they can be scanned/emailed or faxed in advance to us at the address listed in our contact information.

ACCOUNT SET UP FORMS
  Call or email to book an appointment at our lab in Hamilton, ON- if you are unable to travel to our lab to make deposits, you can order our PRESERVE Sperm transport kit to collect the sample at your convenience and in the comfort of home.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT   ORDER A SPERM TRANSPORT KIT
  Collect your sperm sample for deposit at the lab or at home with the PreServe kit. Refer to our ‘Banking Fees’ section for freezing and kit costs. We will freeze, analyze, and assess the quality of the sperm. At your request, we will send a copy of this assessment report to your doctor, and based on the results, they may advise you to store more than one deposit to meet your goals.  Storage fees are flat- no matter how many deposits you choose to make, you pay the same monthly fee. Annual or multi-year storage packages can also be purchased at a reduced rate.

SPERM BANKING FEES Once you are prepared to begin fertility treatment and are ready to use the sperm, you can have your deposit shipped directly to your clinic.
