How can I become a donor?
All healthy men between the age of 18 and 40.5 years old can become sperm donors if they fulfill a number of physical and psychological parameters.
What happens at the screening appointment?
At the screening you will provide an initial sample for analysis and fill out a brief questionnaire. Please bring photo identification at this time.
How am I compensated for my donation?
Once you pass your physical exam you can begin giving sperm donations. While each donation must be approved by our doctors in order for you to be paid, our approval rate is more than 90%. Donors receive $130 for each approved donation.
How often can I donate?
It depends on the quality of your sample, but on average, donors offer between 6 and 10 samples per month. We request that you commit to at least one donation per week.
Do I need to abstain from sex between donations? And if so, for how long?
You should abstain for a minimum of 48 hours prior to donating in order to give a sample with an optimal sperm count. This is both for the quality of the sample as well as for your benefit because you will not get the remaining $30 if your sample is not approved.
How long does it take for you to approve sperm donors?
It usually takes two to four weeks. The process includes the initial sample screening, your physical examination, your family health history questioning, and your blood and urine testing.
Why do you ask about my height, weight, ethnicity, and occupation?
This information helps us match your donation to waiting families in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the European Union. We currently have waiting lists for those seeking certain ethnicities, in particular those from Japan, Russia, the Ukraine, and the Czech Republic. But we encourage healthy men between 18 and 40.5 from all ethnicities to consider donating.
Can men with a history of gay sexual relations donate sperm?
Yes, we work with clinics and clients around the world who are not subject to FDA regulation. Due to FDA regulation, we are unable to distribute sperm in the US donated by men that have had male-to-male sexual contact within the past five years.
What is a directed donor?
A directed donor is someone who stores sperm samples for a predetermined recipient that is not a spouse or life partner. There is also the option to store your own sperm for future use by your sexually intimate partner; this is called the Client Depositor route.
