Become a donor

At iTrust fertility clinics we are actively recruiting sperm and egg donors

Become a Sperm Donor

Many patients struggle to conceive and treatment with donated sperm could make their dreams a reality. We are looking for sperm donors, you can be a sperm donor regardless of your background or ethnicity.

Our Donors may already have a family of their own or they are simply looking to help someone else.

How old do I need to be a donor?

At iTrust fertility we will accept donors if they are aged between 18 and 45 and healthy.

Do I need to do any tests?

Before you can become a sperm donor you will need to have a full health check. This will include a consultation, blood tests, infectious disease screening, and a semen analysis. In the UK the law allows a donor’s sperm to be used to create up to 10 families.

At iTrust fertility you will be supported by our specialist team who can answer any questions you may have. You will also have access to a fertility counsellor who can explain each stages and the consents.

Become an egg donor

Egg donation is a very generous act which helps other people have a family.

This wouldn’t be possible without donors. By becoming an egg donor you really can make a difference. At iTrust fertility you will be given a full fertility assessment along with genetic tests, free of charge.

What is egg donation?

Egg donation is when someone donates their eggs anonymously to an infertile patient in order to help her become a parent.

Once donated, the eggs are fertilised with her partner’s sperm (or with donor sperm) in IVF treatment, the Embryo is then transferred to the recipient’s womb. Egg donation, allows the recipient to experience a pregnancy and has a strong biological link with the child.
