Filling in the questionnaire
- To begin the application process, simply complete the questionnaire at the bottom of the page.
- Your form will be reviewed, and you’ll receive a response with the next steps within 48 hours.
Initial appointment
- There will then be an initial appointment to check the sperm count and motility meets the acceptance criteria.
- The results are reviewed within 2-3 days, and the donor is contacted regarding the outcome.
- If they meet acceptance criteria, they move on to next stages of screening.
Screening
- The next stage involves: filling out a medical history and legal consent forms; blood, urine tests and a physical examination to exclude any physical abnormality or STD (sexually transmitted disease).
- There is also a mandatory visit to an independent counsellor to ensure that you have come to the right decision for you.
Beginning donation
- The application and screening process can take 6-8 weeks.
- After this has been completed, donation can begin.
- Donors are given an appointment – some choose to visit on the same day and time each week, whereas others need more flexibility.
- We’ll work with you to accommodate any work commitments or requirements. It’s preferable that the donor visits once a week if possible, and we collect anything between 20-30 samples.
