Heterosexual Couples

We make it easier to grow your family.

Help to Start Your Family

The path to parenthood is not always easy. Fertility issues can arise among couples for all kinds of reasons beyond our control. For cases where male infertility is a barrier to conception, couples can consider using a sperm donor.

Donor Insemination

A sperm donor can help heterosexual couples in cases where the male partner has fertility issues. Some men may have low sperm count, poor sperm motility (movement), or sperm with abnormal morphology (shape and size), which can make it difficult for them to conceive naturally with their female partner.

Some men might also have medical conditions that prevent them from producing viable sperm. The man can also be the carrier of a genetic disorder. Using donor sperm can reduce the risk of transmitting the genetic condition to the child because the couples can choose a sperm donor who does not carry the same genetic traits or mutations.

Using a Sperm Bank to Find Your Sperm Donor

Sperm donation is a regulated process, and all our donors are in good health. We as a sperm bank have strict standards for our donor selection, which is why we do full medical evaluations and genetic screening to minimise the risk of passing on inheritable diseases.

The frozen and quarantined sperm samples are only made available to individuals or couples after thorough screening and adherence to medical standards.

When chosing a sperm donor from our sperm bank, you will get access to a donor profile containing a description of physical characteristics, medical history, educational background, and even personality traits. We create complete and detailed profiles to help you match with the right sperm donor.

What You Need to Consider Using a Sperm Donor

The decision between using a no ID-release or an ID-release sperm donor is a personal one and depends on individual circumstances and preferences. If you choose an ID-release donor, your future child will be able to contact the sperm donor later in life. For some couples this is the decision they are most comfortable with, others may prefer an no ID-release donor.

Some countries or regions have restrictions or bans on using no ID-release donors due to concerns about the donor-conceived child's possibility to know their genetic background. Be sure to research the laws and regulations in your area.

Fertility Treatment With Donor Sperm

There are different fertility treatments available when you use a sperm donor. The most common ones are IUI (intrauterine insemination) and ICI (intracervical insemination). We advise that you consult with your fertility clinic or specialist before ordering your sperm units, as they can provide you with guidance on what treatment will be right for you.

We have gathered some relevant information about the two treatments here:
