Risks & What to Expect

What to Know

  • Collection Can Feel Uncomfortable or Stressful for Some Men — This connects to a real question about being unable to collect a sample at the hospital, worth acknowledging honestly rather than glossing over.
  • Not All Sperm Survives Freezing — Some loss of sperm quality or motility after thawing is expected and normal.
Your care team can talk through what to expect, and any concerns about the collection process, before your appointment.
