Storage fees

Annual charges for keeping eggs, sperm or embryos frozen.

Costs and funding

Storage is billed yearly and continues until you tell the clinic otherwise, so it can quietly become a significant ongoing cost. Diarise the renewal date, keep your contact details current, and make an active decision each year rather than letting invoices decide for you.

Also known as: cryostorage fees, annual storage charge
