FAQs

To be a ‘Registered’ sperm donor you should:

  • Be between 18 -45 years and willing to be registered as a donor with the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), who is the UK’s independent regulator of fertility treatment and research.
  • Be in good health with no known medical disorders.
  • Not have a family history of heritable disorders.
  • Be willing to be screened for medical conditions through the course of donations.
  • Continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout the course of donations.

Heterosexual couples having fertility issues with male partners, single women wanting to be a parent or women in same-sex relationships make use of donated sperm to start a family.

A kind gesture from men from all ethnicities and backgrounds willing to give a gift of parenthood are welcome at Orian Gametes.

You will receive compensation of up to £35/- per clinic visit, as per the limit set by the HFEA. Your payments will commence after you become a ‘Registered’ donor. The amount will be split such that you will receive £20/- each time you visit the clinic for your donation, with the remaining £15/- paid all together after the final screening test when your donated samples are released for treatment.

It generally depends on the quality of the semen sample, but ideally you will be required to visit our clinic twice a week for donations.

Yes, you can remain anonymous to the recipient of your sperm; however, a donor sperm conceived child can access your identifying information from the HFEA once he/she reaches the age of 18 years.

To get a good concentration of sperm cells, we need you to abstain from sex or masturbation for a minimum of 48 hours prior to donation.

If men having male-to-male sexual contact have passed our semen analysis test, screening test, are in good health and have no genetic disorders themselves or heritable conditions in their family, then they are eligible to donate their sperm. They should also ensure that they avoid putting themselves as risk of any sexually transmittable infections once they become ‘Registered’ sperm donors.

You will not be financially or emotionally responsible for upbringing any child born from your donations. The regulatory amendment of 1st April 2005, has removed donor anonymity such that anyone conceived using donated sperm in the UK can access identifying information about their donor from the HFEA when they reach the age of 18.
