In an attempt to make their product more affordable, Xytex International, a sperm bank located in the United States, has reduced the price of obtaining sperm that has been provided by some of their more frequent (read: copious) donors. The 30-35% savings may help those who otherwise might find the prices for donor sperm prohibitive. Additionally, Xytex has announced a reduction of fees charged for the sperm to be used for ICSI and IVF. It is possible for them to provide the recipients using those ART procedures with a smaller quantity of sperm vs the amount needed for a cycle of IUI. Cost cutting by the other sperm banks may ensue.
