Can I Become a Sperm Donor if I'm in Europe?

This depends on where you are located and what the laws and health statutes are in your country. 

A good place to start would be the European Society of Human Reproduction & Embryology's (ESHRE) website, specifically this page that outlines the legal guidelines for the European countries that allow insemination via a donor.

Sperm Banks in Houston Texas

A potential sperm donor recently inquired about sperm banks in Houston, Texas. The only location we know of that may accept sperm donors is Baylor College of Medicine (713-798-4001).

Does SpermCenter Show Donor Photos?

No, we don't because we have no way to access baby or adult photos, since sperm banks charge a fee to get them. We can tell you, however, if the donor has a photo listed on their profile or not.

If you perform one of our donor searches you will see "Photo?" and "Yes" or "No." This may help you weed out the donors that have photos from the ones that don't.

Best of luck!

Sperm Banks Near Tulsa Arizona

We recently recieved a question from a potential sperm donor asking about sperm banks near Tulsa,  Arizona.

While there aren't any in Tulsa that we know of, you may want to look at Arizona Andrology Lab & Cryobank  in Tucson (520-885-2689) or the Arizona center for Fertility Studies in Scottsdale (480-860-4792).

Is SpermCenter a Sperm Bank?

This is a question we often recieve from those like Mahesh, below:

"I am open to donating sperm for single women craving to be mothers. I am not going to charge for this service. You can get it checked out for any medical examination any which way you want to."

Unfortunately, we are not a sperm bank. We simply pull the donor catalogues from sperm banks across the U.S. and collect them all here to save time and money.

Do I Get to Meet the Sperm Donors on SpermCenter?

This happens to be a question we've gotten several times recently; the answer is that no, you don't get to meet the donors in person. We simply list the donors from the sperm banks in the United States; but like all other sperm banks in the U.S., you don't get to meet the sperm donor you choose.

Donor Insemination Guidelines in Europe

The European Society of Human Reproduction & Embryology's (ESHRE) website offers a section that outlines the legal guidelines for the European countries that allow donor insemination.

San Antonio,TX Fertility Clinics Offering In Vitro Maturation

We recently received a question from a client asking about fertility clinics that perform in vitro maturation in San Antonio, Texas.

If you're looking for a similar service in San Antonio, your best bet is to find the nearest clinics in your area and ask them if they perform that service.

If they don't, ask if they can recommend you to someone who can. The same goes if the clinic is unwilling to perform the procedure; ask them if they can recommend someone who specializes in that area of assisted reproduction.

Study Suggests Children of Lesbians are Well-Adjusted

The results from a 25-year study on children raised in lesbian households were recently published in the journal Pediatrics and suggest some controversial conclusions: children raised in lesbian households were psychologically well-adjusted and had fewer behavioral problems than their peers.

The study tracked 68 lesbian couples who had children via donor insemination (artificial insemination using a sperm donor) and analyzed the well-being of each couple's child (ren) through a series of interviews and questionnaires.
