A guide to get you going
Your family is unique. Which is why we offer more than one way to help make your dreams of parenthood come true — as seamlessly and stress-free as possible. Here, you can discover everything you need to know about vial options, insemination choices and procedures, donor types, and more. And, of course, if you’re not sure which options are right for you, our experts are always here to help answer questions you (or your healthcare provider) may have.
The best option for every plan
When it comes to vial types and insemination, you have options. No matter how you’re planning to build your family, we’re here to help, with a variety of vial types — all from rigorously screened and qualified sperm donors. The path you and your healthcare professional choose for your family will inform the number and the type of vials you need.
ICI
IUI
IVF
ICSI
ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) uses a single live sperm that is carefully injected in the middle of an egg (which has been collected from the ovary). This creates an embryo, which is then placed in the uterus. The ICSI procedure is used only in a lab setting, with IVF.
Sperm quality and standards
Understanding donor disclosure levels
Choosing your donor disclosure type is a personal decision based on the unique needs of your family. At California Cryobank, we offer three different donor types: anonymous, open, and ID disclosure — the choice is always yours. Be sure to check each donor’s country availability, as certain disclosure types may not be available for sale in your country.
Questions? We’ve got answers.
Our experts answer some of the most common questions families have before getting started.
All vial types can be used for any insemination or procedure method. However, the volume (amount) of sperm within each vial varies by vial type (ICI, IUI, IVF, ICSI), so it’s important to purchase the appropriate number of vials for your insemination or procedure method.
Many of our donors’ profiles include adulthood photographs and can be viewed with a Level 2: Full Access subscription or as an à la carte purchase. Donors’ adulthood photos are displayed as a series of up to three photos, which may include a headshot, a full-body photo and one that demonstrates their personality or style. Adulthood photos are limited to those donors who choose to provide them and may not be requested for any donor.
