WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
Hmm if you need to ask what’s in it for you then you need to think hard about this step. But if you are 90% sure and just need a little encouragement to take the first step then keep reading. You will discover that while there are a few steps, becoming a sperm donor is not a massive process. It’s kind of like giving blood really, except your helping create a life instead of saving one.
Each year thousands of Australians seek medical advice because of their inability to conceive. At least 15% of couples will experience some degree of infertility, with all its accompanying feelings and frustrations.
For some of these couples, using donated sperm may be their chance of achieving pregnancy.
Each year about 4% of all children born in Australia are the result of Artificial Reproductive Technology, including Donor Insemination.
Providing donor sperm is the most precious gift of all to the recipient women – from this they can have a child which would have been impossible otherwise.
So, what are the other main benefits?
There are many benefits to becoming a sperm donor, the most important is knowing that you have helped create a life and in doing so have made someone’s dream come true. Apart from the warm fuzzies though you will also receive;
- A general health check – including bloods & sexual health results
- A fertility assessment – find out now how fertile you are
- Reimbursement for the time and expenses you may incur providing the sperm donation
