Who becomes a donor?
Why do they donate?
What is the motivation?
We know that our sperm donors are driven by altruistic and generous motives.
Sperm donors are not paid, however they receive a small reimbursment intended to replace loss of income and travel expenses.
All of our donors undergo extensive medical, genetic and psychologal examinations in order to guarantee care of the highest quality.

Sperm quality
Many factors may impact sperm quality
Donor sperm must be of high quality to enable the greatest chance of having a child for the patient. Sperm quality varies from individual to individual, and it is normal that sperm quality can vary over time. Many factors may impact sperm quality, such as disease, fever, heat, smoking, drug abuse, diet, obesity and certain medications. Although it is possible for older men to have children, sperm quality decreases with age.
What we examine in sperm samples:Sperm count- the number of sperm measured in millions per ml
Motility - the proportion of sperm that moves forward
The more normal, motile sperm in the sample, the greater the chance of pregnancy.
