What is the procedure for retrieving semen samples?
In order to release semen samples, we require a written request signed by the semen provider or the authorized representative designated in his storage agreement. The provider or his authorized representative should call to arrange for retrieval of samples; there is a specific release form to fill out and there are fees associated with retrieval and shipping. You can either pick up the samples at TSBCs offices or make arrangements to have them shipped to your home or doctors office. Your spouse or intimate partner will also need to complete our Informed Consent for Recipient of Client Depositor Semen.
