At the Center for Reproductive Health, we offer comprehensive donor sperm services, providing high-quality care to help families grow using this advanced reproductive option.
Who Can Benefit from Donor Sperm?
Donor sperm is ideal for:
- Male factor infertility: Couples facing infertility issues related to low sperm count, motility, or other sperm-related issues.
- Single women or LGBTQ couples: Women who wish to conceive without a male partner.
- Genetic concerns: Men who carry genetic conditions that they do not wish to pass on to their offspring
The Donor Sperm Process
Selecting a Donor
Patients can choose a sperm donor from a donor bank. All donors are thoroughly screened for health, genetic conditions, and overall suitability.
2 - Insemination Options
Donor sperm can be used in a variety of fertility treatments, including Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). In IUI, sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation, while in IVF, the sperm is used to fertilize eggs in a lab

Success Rates
The success rates of donor sperm treatment depend on various factors such as the recipient’s age, health, and the fertility treatment used. In cases of IUI, success rates range from 10-20% per cycle, while IVF with donor sperm can yield higher success rates
Ensuring Donor Quality: Rigorous Sperm Donor Screening
Sperm donors at the Center for Reproductive Health undergo a rigorous screening process to ensure the highest level of safety for future children.
This includes comprehensive reviews of the donor’s medical and family history, as well as genetic testing to identify any carrier conditions that could lead to a child being born with a genetic illness.
Additionally, donors are screened for infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. To further ensure safety, all anonymously donated sperm is frozen and quarantined for six months before it becomes available. After this period, donors are re-tested to confirm they remain free from any infectious diseases
