Donor selection is an important decision and is always made with personalized guidance from our specialized counseling team. We take into account physical characteristics, educational background, interests, and medical history to ensure that the selection meets your needs and values.

The basic profile of a donor includes information such as blood type and Rhesus factor, height and weight, eye and hair color, level of education, profession or field of study, and medical history. It also includes personal interests or hobbies, family history, a childhood photo, and a recorded message from the donor.

Yes, at Spermia we provide you with information about the genetic history of our donors. This information includes data from the donor’s parents and grandparents. This allows us to collect information on hereditary diseases going back up to three generations.

Once selected, Spermia will ship the sample immediately, but the exact date of transfer is determined by the Medically Assisted Reproduction Unit. Our team will provide you with detailed information about the procedures you need to follow and the delivery time.

At Spermia, we screen our donors for genetic disorders specified by law, while also performing additional screening for a large number of genetic mutations. In addition, we perform molecular tests for possible infections, ensuring the quality and safety of the samples.

By comparing your genes with those of your chosen donor, you can ensure that your child will not inherit any serious genetic diseases. That is why Spermia offers a gene matching technique.

Children born from gametes from the same third-party donor may not exceed ten or twelve, unless it is a new child born to a couple who already has a child from gametes from that donor.
For this reason, we ask recipients to inform us of the birth of their child(ren) so that the donor’s file can be kept up to date.

Sperm samples are stored in complete safety in special liquid nitrogen tanks, which keep the sperm at a temperature of -196°C. These conditions ensure that the samples remain in excellent condition and remain viable for a long time, even for years, without affecting their quality. This process is carried out with the utmost care and in accordance with the strictest safety standards to ensure the best results in assisted reproduction treatments.

Yes, we can send sperm samples to any city or country. The samples are sent in special tanks with liquid nitrogen, which make sure the samples stay at the right temperature during transport. These containers are transported by specialized biological material transport companies.

The outcome of the attempt is determined by the woman’s age, the quality of her eggs, the presence of underlying gynecological conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovaries or fibroids, the function and health of the uterus, hormonal balance, overall health and lifestyle, history of previous failed attempts, as well as possible immune disorders and sperm quality.
Personalized assessment and monitoring by specialists contribute to increasing the chances of success.

IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a medical procedure in which a woman’s eggs are fertilized with a man’s sperm in a laboratory setting, outside the body. After fertilization, the embryos are transferred to the woman’s uterus to develop and continue the pregnancy.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is a technique used in IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into the egg to achieve fertilization — it is usually used when increased control of the process is required.

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is an assisted reproduction procedure in which the man’s sperm is placed directly into the woman’s uterus during ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization. The procedure is less invasive than in vitro fertilization (IVF) and is usually used in cases of mild infertility or problems with sperm motility.

Yes, all sperm samples undergo rigorous testing for sexually transmitted diseases or genetic diseases as required by law. In addition, collection, storage, and transport procedures adhere to strict medical and health regulations. All Medically Assisted Reproduction Units are required to check the donor’s file in order to receive a sample.
