Imagine giving the gift of parenthood. For the 1 in 6 couples in the UK affected by infertility, donating your eggs can be life-changing.

Why become a sperm donor?
For many individuals, couples and co-parents, the only hope of having a child is to use sperm donated by someone like you.
The decision to donate can be life-changing for not only you, but the people who receive your donated sperm, any children that are born as a result, and for your own family if you choose to have one. It's important you consider this before moving forward.

Can I donate my sperm?
To be a suitable donor, you must meet the following criteria:
Be aged between 18 - 45
Be willing to be screened for any medical conditions
Have no known serious medical disability or family history of hereditary conditions
Provide your full medical history and that of your immediate family
Commit to weekly appointments at your chosen TFP Fertility clinic over a three-month period
To help achieve a successful pregnancy, all donated sperm must be of high quality. Because of this, only a small percentage of potential donors will be eligible for donation.

5. Sperm donation
If you’ve met all the qualifying criteria for sperm donation, you’ll need to attend several sperm donation appointments (approximately 10-15). Once this has been done, a doctor will sign you off as a TFP Fertility donor and your characteristics will be logged and made available to potential recipients.
A thank you for your generous gift
We witness the incredible impact of sperm donation firsthand. For many of our donors, knowing they have helped someone create the family they have longed for is reward enough but we've found some other ways to compensate our donors for their generous gift.
