Sperm Donation

The process in which sperm is donated for couples or unpartnered patients to use, when either the patient does not have a sperm producing partner, or if the sperm producing partner has a very poor semen analysis, or a genetic problem which could be inherited. Most donor sperm is obtained from one of the many FDA approved sperm banks which are located here in the United States. One can also obtain donated sperm from a person that they know, after adequate screening and paperwork has been completed by the Fertility clinic and relevant legal representation.

 

Sperm Donation is for:

  • Older couples trying to start a family

  • Male factor infertility where the sperm is unable to fertilize healthy eggs

  • Premature menopause

  • Genetic diseases you don’t want to pass onto your child

  • Those who want pregnancy on-demand, including LGBTQIA+ couples and single women, transgender men

The process,
explained simply.

  • If you decide to use a sperm donor, our doctor and staff will go over the entire process including financials to determine if a sperm donor is right for you.

  • When it comes to choosing a donor, focus on the qualities that are important to you, such as:

    - appearance: height, hair color, eye color.

    - couples using donors tend to select ones with physical appearance similar to their own.

    - personal background: education, personality, career.

    - background: ethnic, religious

  • After your fertility assessment and sperm analysis has been conducted, a treatment plan will be determined.

    All donors will undergo extensive screening to ensure they are approved to donate sperm, including a physical exam, donor questionnaire, medical history, lab tests, and infectious disease testing.
