How To Select A Sperm Donor

For whatever reason you have decided that you need a sperm donor. The task of finding and selecting a donor can be very overwhelming. Determining what criteria is important to you and what criteria you should even be looking at can be confusing. Use these basic tips for getting your search underway.

The first thing that you must determine is what type of donor you are interested in. Some people prefer their donor be related to their partner and may enlist a male relative of their partner to be their donor. Some prefer to know their donor, but not have any relation genetically. In these situations most people rely on asking a close friend. When choosing to use a donor that you are already acquainted with, it would be wise to confirm the donors health through a physical prior to any insemination.

The majority of people using a sperm donor prefer to use an anonymous donor. Cryobanks provide anonymous donors for a fee. There are a few things to keep in mind when selecting a cryobank. Not all cryobanks are the same. Some cryobanks have a policy that allows your child to obtain information about your donor once they turn eighteen, while others have more stringent policies regarding the release of information. Certain banks allow you to take your donors sample home to perform your insemination on your own. Other banks may require your donor samples be delivered to a physician for insemination. All cryobanks are different, so looking into more than one is an important part of the process.

Selecting your actual donor is a really personal process. Deciding what traits are most important to you is essential. Many people prefer that their donor look similar to their spouse. So they are singling out donors with similar physical features. Other people look more closely at genetic disease like cancer and alcoholism. Making a list of priorities before you even start will help you narrow down your choices. Often cryobanks offer searchable online databases so you can go over your choices at home. Some other things to consider when choosing your donor is the popularity of the donor you choose. A more popular donor may have limited availability. Consider having back up donors incase your first choice is not available.
