Virginia Sperm Banks
We recently received a question about Virginia sperm banks. While there are a couple sperm banks in Virginia, there are none specifically in West Virginia.
In Virgina, the largest local bank is Fairfax Cryobank.
Have you ever banked sperm?
Have you ever banked sperm? How did it go for you? I just applied at Fairfax Cryobank and am waiting to hear back.
Sperm Banks in Alamogordo, New Mexico
A visitor asked us about sperm banks in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Unfortunately, there aren't any well-known sperm banks, but there may be other options.
The nearest possibility might be the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center in Albaquerque.
Insurance for Artificial Insemination
Does your insurance cover your insemination? If so, who are you with?
Will Insurance Pay for Sperm Banking if You Have Cancer?
This is a question we received recently from a visitor who was wondering if his insurance would pay the cost of storing his sperm, since he has to undergo chemo and other cancer treatments that may adversely affect his fertility.
The answer is that it depends on the insurance company. Some health insurance plans may cover the cost of part or all of the initial services. Check with your insurance provider and doctor's office staff prior to beginning the banking process.
Los Angeles Sperm Banks
We recently recieved a question about Los Angeles sperm banks. While there are several sperm banks in California, there is only one major sperm bank in Los Angeles proper, California Cryobank.
I'm A Single Mother, By Choice - The Charlotte Observer
There was a great article awhile back in the Charlotte Observer by one of it's editors, who used SpermCenter to find her donor.
Is Trying to Conceive All You Think About?
We understand; we've been there, done that. When you're trying to get pregnant, it feels like all you can do is think, plan and try to conceive. We tend to forget to have fun and take time to breathe, which isn't necessarily a good thing.
If you feel yourself holding your breath, there are some ways you can deal with it. First, understand that no matter what you do, you will be thinking about getting pregnant when you're TTC. That's just the way it is.
Can I See Sperm Donor Photos on SpermCenter?
Unfortunately, you can't see photos of sperm donors on SpermCenter because most sperm banks don't offer photos of donors for free. It wouldn't be fair to show some photos and not others, nor would it be allowed by the majority of the sperm banks available.
This is why SpermCenter's sperm donor profiles link directly to their original profile on the sperm bank's website. It makes it easy to see your donor's original profile once you select them.
What Are Donor Sibling Registries?
Donor sibling registries are websites for individuals that have used an egg or sperm donor who want to search for donors or siblings.
For sperm donors, there are only a few bank-specific registries and one national donor registry, the "Donor Sibling Registry."
The Donor Sibling Registry is the only national registry in the U.S. Founded by Wendy Kramer and her donor-conceived son Ryan, the registry was created to connect donors and siblings searching for each other.
