| | CRYOPRESERVATION (SPERM BANKING) |
 | | That is, any sperm that are produced by your testicles, even after chemotherapy or after x-ray therapy, as long as you have waited 1 year, or any sperm that are frozen and then thawed and used for insemination, will not have a higher likelihood of producing a deformed child. | | | Therefore, it is important to recognize that at the time you present to our clinic for sperm banking, your testicles may not be working as well as they might normally. | | | Almost all chemotherapeutic drugs will shut down the production of sperm to some degree while you are receiving the drugs. |
