Purchasing Donor Sperm
This is one question we get quite frequently. Where do I start?
This may seem like a confusing time, but ultimately you are wanting to start or grow your family, which will be an exciting milestone in your life!
To get started, we recommend contacting a fertility clinic to begin your journey. We have lots of recommendations and will be happy to guide you in the right direction.
Additionally, you have the option to do at-home insemination, and although we do not recommend this path, it is still an option, and we have seen success with vaginal insemination.
Prior to releasing any vials, either for clinic insemination or at-home insemination, you will need to have our Clinic Release Form completed by your physician. You can find that form HERE.
Once this form is completed and returned back to us, we can release the vials for both clinic and at-home insemination.
At-Home Insemination:
A Clinic Release form is only required for home insemination if you are shipping to the state of New York. In New York, a Clinic Release will need to be completed by a physician, nurse, or midwife.
Which vial should I use?
Currently, the majority of our donors have washed vials only. Washed vials are IUI-ready sperm samples. These samples have been processed for intrauterine insemination (IUI), but it is safe and effective to use them for IVF and vaginal insemination as well. Many of our recipients have reported pregnancies from IVF and vaginal insemination using IUI-ready samples.
You will want to purchase your vial(s) at least one week prior to your scheduled insemination. By planning ahead, you will ensure your vials are ready to use when you are ready to use them.
