Who Is Sperm Donation Recommended For?
How is Sperm Selected?
Our hospital does not accept external sperm donation. The sperm used for donation in our center are brought in special nitrogen tanks with special certificates from Denmark Cryos International, which has the largest, most reliable and widest sperm pool in the world. The sperms to be transferred are under the control of the Ministry of Health.
Sperm banks also share features such as skin color, eye color, hair color, height, weight, and ethnicity with our center. Considering these features, sperms with the most suitable features are prepared for your treatment.
What is the Sperm Donation Treatment Process?
The couples who are to receive the donated sperm are first informed by our doctor. Information about the donor is also given. If the couples want, they can get information about the donor such as physical structure, test results, body structure and blood group from the specialist. A consent form is signed by the couple, stating that the couples accept the donation voluntarily and that they are informed about the procedure before the procedure is started. The treatment to be applied after that is the methods applied in standard IVF treatment. Medication is started for the development and maturation of the egg. When the eggs reach the desired size after 10-12 days, a needle is made to crack the eggs. On the 1-2 days following this, the hatched eggs are collected. On the same day, the sperm taken for sperm donation are fertilized with eggs. The embryo formed as a result of fertilization is transferred to the uterus of the expectant mother. A pregnancy test is performed 10-12 days after this procedure. After the pregnancy has occurred, the follow-up of the pregnancy can continue as if the pregnancy had occurred naturally. The actual pregnancy is no different from a normal pregnancy, except for the method of conception.
