Sperm donation - Semen donation

Every couple wants to have their own genetic child. This is a natural instinct and desire. However, it may not always be possible, and couples may have to go for donor sperm.

BFI does not encourage donor gametes as a shortcut to success. We offer all the options a couple has and offer them a donor option as a last resort only. We counsel them pros and cons of using donor gametes and allow them to make a fully informed choice.

BFI NEVER uses donor gametes without the informed consent of BOTH the partners. Ultimately the child is of both the partners.

These are the reasons why every couple should choose the fertility clinic very cautiously, particularly when it comes to donor sperm.

When you require donor services, it is more than plain and simple science. It is also called third party ART тАУ IVF. As a third party is involved, a third dimension is also added to the whole process. It is also an emotional decision. We are here to support you & give you the desired result. We are here to help you have a healthy baby.

We know and understand that when you choose a donor to have your child, you are not buying some product from the market, but you are creating your future generation. With years of experience and experience of thousands of successful donor cycles, we deeply understand and respect your expectations, concerns, fears, and much more. When you entrust us with donor services, we select the best donor for you. Carefully matching him/her with your looks, height, weight, skin colour, eye colour, etc. Though there are no two persons exactly the same, we try to find similarities to the maximum. If a couple has any special preferences or needs, may it be for ethnicity, looks, cast, physical characteristics, education etc., we try our best to match to the perfection.

What is Sperm Donation?

Sperm donation is the use of donated sperm for achieving pregnancy through insemination, IUI or IVF ICSI.

Who Can Benefit from Sperm Donation?

No sperm in semen тАУ Azoospermia

Many men having no sperm in their semen also can father their own child through their own sperm with the modern technology of TESA PESA TESE Micro TESA. However, if it is not possible or the cost of modern technology is not affordable, one can go for sperm donation.

Poor quality or quantity of sperm

Men with less sperm count тАУ oligospermia, less sperm motility тАУ asthenospermia, less percentage of normal sperm тАУ teratospermia, can father a child through simple treatment but not always. If the above conditions are severe, or sperm are 100% non-motile, very high DNA fragmentation, poor fertilization or embryo formation in repeated IVF cycles, suffering from severe diseases or taking medicines that can reduce sperm fertility, the modern technology of IVF ICSI IMSI PICSI can certainly help. However, if it is not possible, does not succeed, or the cost of modern technology is not affordable, one can go for sperm donation.

Risk of inheritance of genetic disease from father

Some men have a risk of transmission of some hereditary disease to their children through their sperms.

Modern technology of PGS/PGD, PGT тАУ A, PGT тАУ M, PGT тАУ SR can help in preventing these transmittable diseases even before the embryos are transferred to the uterus. With this technology, even the men at risk can safely have a healthy, disease-free child. Unfortunately, this technology is expensive. It can diagnose most of the diseases but not all. Hence a few men may have to opt for donor sperms in this situation.

Single mothers – How is the sperm donation/semen donation treatment performed?

Sperm donation cycles are usually carried out with fresh or frozen semen. Sperm donor has to be unrelated and unknown. Semen donation can be made by vaginal insemination, Intra Uterine Insemination тАУ IUI, or IVF + ICSI.

What is the Success rate of IVF with sperm donation?

IVF with donor sperm generally has a higher success rate compared to using the intended father’s sperm, especially in cases severe of male factor infertility. This is because donor sperm is typically obtained from young, healthy men who have undergone thorough medical and genetic screening to ensure the quality of their sperm.

Success rates for IVF with donor sperm can vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Age of the recipient: Women under 35 have the highest success rates, with a potential of 50% or higher per cycle. These rates decline naturally with age, with women 42 and above having a less than 10% chance per cycle.
  • Quality of the embryos: The number and quality of embryos created during the IVF process significantly impact the success rate. Factors like egg health and sperm quality play a crucial role in embryo development.
  • Number of embryos transferred: Transferring more embryos can increase the chances of pregnancy, but it also carries a higher risk of multiple births.
  • Experience of the fertility clinic: Choosing a reputable clinic with experienced professionals and advanced technology can optimize the success rate.
