Sperm donation helps individuals and couples overcome male infertility and achieve parenthood through assisted reproductive technologies like IUI and IVF. At Sakalli IVF, we provide a safe, supportive, and professional sperm donation program.
The Sperm Donation Process
At Sakalli IVF, we adhere to the highest medical, ethical, and legal standards to ensure the safety and satisfaction of our patients. Here’s an overview of the process:
Selecting a Donor
Anonymous Donors: Patients choose sperm from our affiliated sperm banks, which offer extensive catalogs of anonymous donors.
Donor Profiles: Each profile details the donor’s physical traits, ethnic background, education, and medical history, empowering recipients to make informed decisions based on their preferences.
Screening and Processing of Donor Sperm
Donors undergo rigorous medical and genetic testing to rule out hereditary or transmissible conditions.
Tests include: – Blood group analysis – Thalassemia and cystic fibrosis screening – Infectious disease tests (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, syphilis, and more) – Karyotype analysis to confirm a 46, XY chromosomal structure.
Donor sperm is cryopreserved and quarantined for six months to ensure it is disease-free before being cleared for use in fertility treatments.
Utilizing Donor Sperm
Donor sperm is used in personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs:
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Sperm is directly placed into the uterus during the fertile window. In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves sperm fertilizing eggs in a laboratory, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A single sperm is injected directly into an egg, often used in cases of severe male infertility.
Counseling and Support
At Sakalli IVF, we understand that using donor sperm can involve emotional and psychological considerations. Counseling services are available to guide individuals and couples through the decision-making process and address any concerns related to the use of donor sperm. Topics such as future disclosure to children about their genetic origins are also discussed.
