Final notes on how to find a sperm donor

Please note the following.

First, if you select an ID donor, you will need to complete and return a signed ID Patient Agreement. These forms are donor-specific. Please email, mail, or fax the signed form at least one business day before you place your order.

And second, due to the high demand for certain donors, be sure to choose several donors before placing your order. We suggest selecting three or more. You can also decide on a donor far in advance, purchase specimens now, and store them until your procedure date. Read more about our Vial Buy & Store and Vial Buy Back programs.
