Brief Answer:
Semen cannot survive for long in room temperature

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

I understand your concern about infertility.

Semen contains sperms which cannot survive in room temperature for more than few minutes. Hence it is ftozen at minus temperatures in the laboratory only.

Unfortunately it is not possible to send it in little box in room temperature.

I hope that answers your question.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
