Vial Exchange Program

It's OK to change your mind

Whatever the reason, to make sure you are 100% confident in your donor selection, California Cryobank offers our Vial Exchange Program. Occasionally a client will opt to change to a new donor while still having vials of an original donor remaining in storage. This is usually due to preference (a new donor appears on the catalog) or availability (their first donor has been retired and/or is in limited supply).

Vial Exchange Fees:

HOW MANY VIALS DO I NEED?

National averages range from 3-4 insemination cycles per successful pregnancy. We recommend purchasing at least 5 vials per child to guarantee your donor remains available until reaching your personal family goals. Additionally, you get 1 Year FREE storage if you purchase 4 or more vials ($475 value).

WHY SHOULD I THINK ABOUT STORING VIALS?

Our donors sell out and retire quickly! We have thousands of clients forced to choose between a new donor or not having a second child because they chose not to store vials for future use while they were available. To help you plan for your future, we offer 3 Years FREE storage if you purchase 3 Years+ vials ($1,050 value) - as well as the ability to sell back any unused vials that have not left our control.
