FAQ

Here you can find answers to the questions we often get about sperm donation.

How do I get started with donating sperm?

You start by sending us an application - you can do that here

At the first interview, you will need to provide a sperm sample for assessment. If the sperm quality is approved, you will be called for a second interview. The interviews will include your background history, why you want to be a sperm donor, ongoing sperm quality tests, blood tests, review of your donor profile etc. We will take blood samples approximately every 2 or 3 months.

How old do I have to be to become a sperm donor?

To become a sperm donor, you must be between 18 and 45 years old.

What type of sperm donor can I become?

You can choose to become an open or closed sperm donor. As an open sperm donor, the donor child can contact you when they come of age.

You do not have the option to switch between open and closed donor status once you have started donating.

How many children can I have?

First and foremost, you will not have any children; you will not become a father to any children but rather assist other parents in having a child. 
Many countries have a national quota, set by law, for the number of children or families a donor may be used for. We adhere to the limits on the number of children/families per donor in Denmark (no more than 12 families) and in all other countries.

Furthermore, at Born, we have an upper limit for the number of children per donor worldwide. It is a limit based on what we believe is ethically defensible for both donors and the donor-conceived children entering the world.

What do I get as a sperm donor?

At Born, there is no discrimination. All approved sperm donors receive the same compensation. 

How often do I need to donate?

We expect that as a sperm donor you can donate at least 4 times a month. You can donate up to 3 times a week and preferably at least once a week.

What will I be examined for?

You undergo a comprehensive examination, including an assessment of your sperm quality and a medical examination where you will be checked for various diseases. You must undergo this health check before you can be approved as a sperm donor.

I have had a sexually transmitted infection - can I still become a donor?

Yes, if you have been treated, you can be a sperm donor. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to contact us.

Where can I become a sperm donor?

Our branches are located in:Aarhus , Copenhagen, Aalborg and Odense.

Is it difficult to become a sperm donor? 

Becoming a sperm donor is not difficult. That said, there are a number of tests and factors that may make someone unsuitable, such as hereditary diseases, reduced sperm quality, and similar conditions. If you’re a healthy man between 18 and 45 years old, are motivated, and have good sperm quality, the process is straightforward. We recommend talking to your family to learn whether any hereditary diseases run in your family.

Does my sexual orientation mean I can't become a sperm donor?

At Born, your sexual orientation has no impact on whether you can become a sperm donor. You simply need to meet the general health and screening requirements that apply to all potential donors.
