Donor Sperm for IVF
Choosing to use donor sperm is an important step in the family-building journey. Whether you are a single woman pursuing pregnancy, a lesbian couple growing your family, or a couple facing male infertility, selecting a sperm donor is a significant and personal decision.
There are two ways to go about using a sperm donor. You can use an anonymous donor, selected based on those qualities you hold favorable, or you can use a donor who is known to you, and has consented.

Selecting an egg or sperm donor involves many factors. You may want someone who has a similar physical appearance or ethnic background, or perhaps you have other criteria. Donors are as varied as the general population, so you’ll likely find someone who matches your requirements. Here are some other factors you should consider:

Medical History
-
Age of Donor
