Storage fee

An ongoing charge for keeping frozen eggs, sperm or embryos.

Clinics, laboratory & costs

Storage is billed periodically, commonly annually, and continues until you instruct otherwise. Missed payments and out-of-date contact details are a common reason people lose track of stored material, so diarise the renewal date and tell the clinic if you move or change your number.

Also known as: cryostorage fee, annual storage cost
