Donor Sperm Treatment
Fertility Plus offer donor sperm treatment only through the Sunanda IVF
Reserving Donor Sperm
1. Patients are allowed to reserve donor sperm for two treatment cycles only (four ampoules for IUI/IVF, and two ampoules for ICSI).
2. Owing to reduced availability of donor sperm, patients may have a limited choice of donors, no choice (i.e. only one matching donor available), or be asked to postpone treatment until a suitable donor sperm becomes available.
3. We secure donor sperm through the Sunanda IVF clinic and we would ask patients to enquire about extended storage; Use for sibling sperm and suggested quantity for further use.
Alternative Options
Patients who are prevented from undergoing treatment with donor sperm due to unavailability of donor sperm from the donor banks may wish to consider the following:
The use of a ‘known donor’ where sperm is donated from a person known to the patient(s). Having sufficient samples in storage for future siblings can also be planned in advance. All known donor sperm being used for treatment requires a six-month quarantine period before use. This process requires extensive times and investigations .
