To become a sperm donor, contact local sperm banks and undergo a medical examination. Donors must be in good health, have a clear family medical history, and be between 18 and 44 years old. After providing the required number of donations, semen samples are quarantined for six months before payment is made.
It is quite easy to become a sperm donor if you are in good health and have a clear family medical history. To become a sperm donor, start by contacting local sperm banks and asking to apply as a donor. Most sperm banks want donors to be in a convenient location, such as within an hour of travel. In most cases, you must be between the ages of 18 and 44 to become a sperm donor.
If you want to become a sperm donor, you should be prepared to have your background thoroughly explored. Most sperm banks do not accept adopted sperm donors. This is because they would not be able to thoroughly check your family’s medical and mental background if you were adopted. A sperm bank will want to make sure there is no history of any hereditary diseases or conditions before you can donate. This includes mental conditions.
Before you can donate sperm, you must also undergo a medical examination. This is intended to ensure that you are completely free from serious illnesses and that you are in good general health. You will be given blood and urine tests. As part of the process, you will also be tested for sexually transmitted infections.
Typically you will need to provide an initial semen sample during the screening process. You will be asked to provide your semen sample in the privacy of a collection room. To ensure your comfort, you will be provided with magazines and videos and will be left alone in this room to deliver your sample. Your sperm sample will then be tested by the sperm bank’s laboratory to assess sperm count and sperm quality. The lab will also test how well your sperm responds to freezing.
Once the test is complete and everything looks good, you will be eligible to provide sperm donations. In most cases, potential donors are asked to sign contracts. These contracts require them to provide sperm donations for a period of six months, usually once or twice a week. However, each sperm bank has its own unique requirements for how often a donor sends sperm samples.
Once you have given the required number of sperm donations, your job is not done. Your semen samples will be quarantined for six months; this is to ensure that your blood was indeed free of infection at the time you provided the donations. Because some infections and diseases have an incubation period during which the test may not be entirely accurate, this new six-month test is intended to protect the woman who will receive your sperm donation and any babies who may be born from it. Once you have the second blood test and prove you are disease free, you will be paid; payment amounts vary according to the sperm bank. However, most donors receive between $35 and $50 US Dollars (USD) for each sample.
