Hi Puneet, from 38 onwards there are signs of DNA fragmentation in sperm. But it is worth contacting us to discuss this with one of our staff.

Hi Ashley, Fertility First currently has 2 local Australian donors available to choose from. Xytex does not have Australians donor’s as the sperm bank is located in America and they recruit donors who live in America regardless of their ethnicity. For more info call us on 02 9586 3311.

Hi John, we cannot say exactly what will happen but as a donor you have no legal or financial obligations whatsoever to any children conceived through IVF. They have the right to know who the donor was but that is the extent of the relationship unless both parties choose otherwise.

Hi, we do cater for gay men but you are also welcome to bring your own printed material if that would make you feel more comfortable.

What do the children conceived usually do when they get the donor’s information. I am a bit scared because I have heard stories that they want their biological father (ie the donor) to help them financially when their parents were injured , divorced etc.

Donors are able to ask us for updates and we can tell them how many women have had a pregnancy using their sperm, the number of live births, the sex and year of birth.

Hi, yes you can donate sperm! There are a few steps involved in the initial screening but your medical expenses and travel to and from the clinic will be re-reimbursed. Please contact us directly to discuss a consultation on 02 9586 3311.
