Help

A sperm bank handles sperm to sell to clinics and families who wish to have a child or children by using a sperm donor. The reason for using a sperm donor can differ from customer to customer, e.g. infertility problems or lesbian couples or singles who need sperm to get pregnant. 

Firstly, read about your options to buy sperm, whether you are a couple or single. Secondly, please read the rule and regulations from your home country regarding inseminations and donor categories. But remember, we are always here to help, so please send us an email or give us a call before you order sperm. 

You can find your donor. 

When you choose to have a child with a sperm donor, you must either choose an open donor, also known as ID release, or a closed donor, also known as a no ID release donor. If you select an ID release donor, your donor child will have the opportunity to contact the donor through the sperm bank when the donor child turns the legal age for request. It's important that you read about the different conditions in your home country before you order. Find your donor. 

No. To decrease the risk of passing on diseases with a genetic factor, our applicants must go through several medical screenings and tests. We strive to ensure that our donors are all healthy men with good values and personalities. Find your donor. 

It differs from donor to donor. We comply with national quotas. It's not possible for the donor to contact the children or their parents. Read more. Find your donor. 

We screen and test our donors carefully for many things. We meet up for several appointments so we can get to know them. The selection parameters typically include age, criminal record, application and interviews, sperm quality, and general health. We also test our active donors for STDs and run blood tests regularly. Find your donor. 

It's highly individual how many units you must order. For some, the units work right away, for others it takes longer. Various factors that you should always consider: 

Age and general health 

Method of treatment 

Number of children desired. 

One unit is required for one treatment. Depending on the treatment method, however, it varies how "far" this unit goes. With a simple IUI, which is often carried out in the natural cycle, there is a chance of fertilising the egg cell released by the body. However, with IVF or ICSI treatment, there is a chance of fertilising several retrieved egg cells. Some of these may eventually be frozen as blastocysts. So, with these treatments, one seed unit can potentially result in multiple pregnancies. Therefore, we always advise you to discuss with your fertility clinic how many units you should purchase. You will always have the option of having a sperm storage at our sperm bank, where your purchased units are kept until you request a shipment to your clinic for multiple pregnancies as potential siblings in the future. 

We sell processed and unprocessed sperm units. ICI units are raw, while IUI units are prepared for the most common forms of treatment in the fertility clinics. 

We usually only recommend IUI MOT20+ for insemination treatments. The others are, in our opinion, better suited for IVF and ICSI.

ICI MOT20+ units are well suited for vaginal insemination. The motility is given as 20+, which means that each unit contains over 20 million live sperm cells per ml. Your fertility clinic may have the option to process the sperm units, but it can result in losing many of the living sperm cells.  Please discuss this further with your fertility clinic. 

Unfortunately, we cannot reserve units until they are released for sale. 

We would like to avoid reserving units that we may not be able to release due to unforeseen problems with blood samples. Since there are often several customers waiting for the release of new units from a donor, we have made a waiting list you can sign up for. You will automatically receive a message as soon as the units are released. 

As soon as the units are available on the site, you have the option to buy them and have them stored by us. You can find more information about this here. 

It varies from country to country which donor categories are allowed. For example, for fertility treatment in Denmark, both  ID release and no ID release donors are allowed. We advise you to check up on this in your fertility country. 

Can I have units delivered to my home? 

No, home insemination isn't posible anymore. The regulations for the traceability of the sperm units have now become so strict that we can only comply with them by delivering to fertility centres and treating gynaecologists with the appropriate approval. 

Yes, it is possible to order sperm units and have them delivered to your gynaecologist. 

Of course, your gynaecologist must be licensed to offer fertility treatments and the insemination must take place in the practice. It is not enough to work as a gynaecologist in a hospital. 

You do, though, have the option of contacting us to draw up a cooperation agreement (assignment of responsibility agreement). 

For more information, please contact us. 

Infertility can be caused by several things. When it comes to the man, it can be caused by a low sperm quality. Low sperm quality can be based ons unhealthy lifestyle, genetic disorders, and many other things.

You must be at least 18 years old to buy donor sperm.

Yes and no. At Born, we don't differentiate between a heterosexual couple, a lesbian couple, or a single mother. Of course, there are different considerations to think about before you start your fertility treatment: Who shall carry the child, the other mother’s rights and so on. There may also be different rules from country to country. Therefore, it's always a good idea to follow up on  the rule regulations in your fertility country. Read more. 

Yes. Whether you are part of a couple or single, you can buy sperm from us to conceive a child. However, there may be different rules from country to country. Therefore, we advise you to follow up on rule legislation in your fertility country. We are always happy to assist you in finding you a donor. 

We recommend that you start talking to your child about this at an early age. It's better to be open about it from the beginning, as it will be easier for the children to grow up knowing the truth.
