Q: How does How Does Sperm Get to Me?

A: This depends on what you mean. If you mean do they ship to you, the answer is most sperm banks do, so don't feel a need to stay local if you like a donor better from a sperm bank on the other side of the U.S. If you mean how does it get to you from the start, here's a very brief overview: you first have to choose your donor.

Then you need check with your doctor to make sure you understand what types of vials you should buy (this depends on what kind of fertility treatment you're getting), then you go online or call the sperm bank of your choice, place an order for your donor's semen, then have it shipped to you, or most often, the doctor performing the insemination.
