At Alcove Fertility Center, we are always seeking responsible, compassionate individuals to join our sperm donor program. As a sperm donor, you have the opportunity to help individuals and couples build their families and fulfill their dreams of parenthood.
The sperm donation process involves providing a semen sample, which is then used to create embryos through in vitro fertilization (IVF). All sperm donors undergo rigorous screening and testing to ensure their health and suitability for donation.
If you are interested in donating sperm, our team of fertility specialists will work with you to understand your motivations and guide you through the process. Donors receive compensation for their time and commitment to the program.
Making a sperm donation is one of the most generous things you can do, as it gives others the chance to have a baby.
There are many reasons people decide to become sperm donors. Some of these include;
- Wanting to make a difference that will last a lifetime
- You or someone you know has struggled with infertility
- You have children of your own, and want to help others experience that joy
- You’d like to help someone you know who needs a sperm donor
Plus during the process you’ll get information about your personal health and fertility, including the results of a semen analysis and genetic screening for risk factors.
If you’re a healthy man aged between 21 and 35, and you’re willing to donate altruistically (without payment), we’d love to hear from you.
Our experienced donor team will be happy to talk you through the process in more detail.
The step-by-step process involved in sperm donation is also outlined below:
Step 1 – An appointment will be made for you to meet with one of our Fertility Specialists, who will record your medical history, including both your physical and mental health.
Step 2 – You will have sessions with a counsellor to discuss the social, ethical and legal implications of sperm donation. During this time you will complete a profile about yourself, provide a family medical history, and will also sign consent forms for donation. If you have a current partner, they must also attend these sessions to ensure you are both comfortable and clear about the process involved
Step 3 – Our donor coordinators will contact you when counselling is completed to organize an appointment for a semen analysis and screening of your blood for infectious diseases and some genetic conditions
Step 4 – Once all the test results are back, we will notify you of them and plan visits to our clinic for your donation appointments.
Step 5 – Your sperm is quarantined for three or six months, after which time we ask you to attend for a further blood test, for a final screen for infectious diseases. Once complete, your sperm can be cleared for use. It will then be released to our recipients for IVF treatment, to help them conceive their baby.
