Which Hospital/Department/Cost Storing/ Freezing Ones Semen

[andrewryan108]

ideally for a couple of years

any idea as to cost and whether any hospital takes credit cards - I am low on cash

any idea of a hospital that can help with gender selection of the child as well??

I am not looking for analysis of my semen for either fertility or of disease - my wife is currently pregnant (in Cambodia), just want to do this because I am really old already and hope to have a son as well.

Thank you

First of all, that you are old is no problem, even very elderly men have viable sperm. The only reason to freeze your sperm would be if for instance you were having a vasectomy. .

Secondly, no hospital can "help with gender selection". There is no way to predetermine a child's gender.

Yes, the hospitals can select gender. What they do is inseminate a few eggs, allow them to grow for a couple of days, then do DNA tests to determine the gender of each fertilized egg. Then you can choose which ones to implant into the womb.
