Using Donor Sperm

Should I Consider Using Donor Sperm?

Donor sperm can be an option for individuals and couples facing various challenges, including:

• Male Infertility: Conditions such as low sperm count, poor motility, or other quality concerns may hinder natural conception.
• Genetic or Health Considerations: Certain health factors affecting sperm quality may warrant the use of donor sperm.
• Family Building Needs: Single women and same-sex female couples looking to build their families may benefit from donor sperm.

Our experienced fertility experts carefully evaluate your personal circumstances and medical history to help determine if donor sperm is the right option for you.

Selecting a Donor

Choosing donor sperm is a deeply personal decision, and the right advice can make all the difference. At FST, we provide clear guidance and support to help you navigate this process.

What to Consider When Choosing a Donor

Reputable sperm banks supply extensive, pre-screened donor profiles that include:

• Physical Traits: Information on height, hair color, eye color, and other physical attributes.
• Personal Background: Insights into personality, interests, education, and family history.

Additionally, some patients consider factors such as educational background (e.g., a bachelor’s degree or Ivy League attendance) or specific talents—like musical or athletic abilities—that align with their dreams for their future children.
