What We Provide
Through the most advanced assisted techniques, we help bring families to life with unmatched success rates.
Sperm donors are typically altruistic volunteers, often recruited from the local student population or from men who already have families and wish to help others. Couples may also choose to use a known donor or a relative of the husband, allowing the child to be biologically related to both parents. This is considered acceptable, provided all parties give their full consent. However, careful consideration is given to the ethical, psychological, and moral implications of using a known donor.
Using a sperm donor is generally recommended for:
Donor sperm can be used in two main ways:
Sperm donors are typically healthy men of normal intelligence and fertility, with no history of mental health disorders or genetic/inherited conditions. They should be between 21 and 30 years of age and, ideally, have children of their own.
Donors undergo a thorough physical and genital examination, which includes checks for urethral discharge, genital warts, and ulcers. The presence of any of these conditions would disqualify a potential donor.
Donors are also screened for infectious and genetic diseases, including HIV, Hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhoea, and sickle cell disease. Their blood group and Rhesus factor are also determined.
All donor sperm must be frozen and stored for a minimum of six months (quarantined), during which time the donor is retested for infectious diseases, particularly HIV, before the sperm can be used. As some sperm do not survive the freezing and thawing process, only men with a high concentration of motile sperm in their ejaculate are considered suitable donors. This means that some fertile men may still not be eligible to donate.
Counseling is a vital part of the sperm donation process. One of the key aspects discussed is that donors must relinquish all rights to the donated sperm, and the identities of both the donor and recipient will remain confidential.
