Are you considering becoming a sperm donor?

When you choose to become a sperm donor, it's a decision for life. That's why it's important that you feel well-informed and confident in your choice. 

Here we have gathered the most important information for those who are considering donating.

Donor Categories

When you become a sperm donor, you can choose one of the following donor categories.

ID Release

To be an open donor means that the recipient does not know your identity, but the children who may result from your donations have the opportunity to get your contact information, when they become of legal age.The donor child, after proving that they are in fact a result of your donation, will be provided with your full name and your last known place of residence.

No ID-Release

To be a closed donor means that you cannot be contacted, and donor-conceived children also do not have the option to request contact when they become of legal age. Once you have chosen to be a closed donor, you cannot later change that decision. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider your choice before deciding.

Choosing whether you want to be ID release or No ID release is a choice that is entirely up to you.

Some donors prefer to be No ID release. Others may feel a moral obligation to the donor child and their right to know their genetic origins later in life and therefore choose to be open donors. This is a choice that you as a donor will have to live with for the rest of your life. Therefore, it is important that you think carefully about what feels right for you.

It is not possible to switch between closed and open donors once you have started donating.

Is there a limit to how many families you can help worldwide?

We were the first sperm bank to introduce clear, global family boundaries for all our donors. Today, we are no longer the only one, but we are proud to have been the ones who set the direction and showed that responsible sperm donation is the way forward.
 
This means that as a donor with us, you always have a set global limit of either 25 or 75 families.
 
For us, it's about taking responsibility, creating clarity and providing security - both for you as a donor and for the future families.
 
For you, this means that you know exactly how many families you can help right from the start. You can be sure that your donations are always used responsibly, and you get peace of mind because we keep track of the limits for you.

Should we test your sperm count?

If you are considering becoming a sperm donor, you can start by getting a non-binding and completely free sperm test.
 
A sperm test will tell you what your sperm quality looks like and you will also have the opportunity to learn more about what it means to be a sperm donor with us.
 
All you need to do is book an appointment at one of our locations in Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg or Copenhagen.
