Sperm donation (donor sperm)
Sperm donation is treatment using sperm from a donor, in IUI or IVF. In India donor sperm may come only from a registered ART bank, and the ART Act sets conditions on donors. This page explains what Sperm donation involves and lists the clinics in this directory whose own websites name it.
Also known as: donor sperm, donor insemination
What Sperm donation is
When it is used
The UK fertility regulator, the HFEA, says a clinic is likely to recommend donor conception if:
- “you're not producing eggs or sperm of your own”
- “your own sperm or eggs are unlikely to result in a pregnancy”
- “you have a high risk of passing on an inherited disease”
Whether it is appropriate in a particular case is a clinical decision for the treating doctor. This directory does not make that judgement.
How donor sperm is used
Donor sperm can be used in IUI: the HFEA says IUI “may be performed with your partner's sperm or donor sperm (known as donor insemination).” It can also be used in IVF or ICSI.
On screening, the HFEA says “Donated sperm usually has to be quarantined for three or six months and screened for infections before it can be used by a recipient.”
Sperm donation, step by step
A timed sequence, visit by visit.
What it costs
Prices only as clinics publish them, with the date they published them.
Decode the number they quoted you
A clinic tells you a percentage. Whether it means anything depends on three things nobody volunteers.
Everyone whose cycle was cancelled before transfer has already been removed from the denominator.
It counts the cycles that never reached transfer, which is the risk you are actually taking.
India’s registry records who is registered, not who delivers babies. Printing a clinic’s own figure would be publishing its marketing under our name.
No public register in India publishes live-birth rates per doctor, and a figure supplied by the clinic itself cannot be checked. Rather than print a number nobody can verify, we tell you exactly what to ask for.
Risks and side effects
In the words of the regulator or health service each section cites.
What the regulator says about risks
The HFEA warns against home insemination with unscreened sperm: “If you do this and you don't get the sperm tested obviously there's a serious risk of diseases being passed onto your child, which is why we don't recommend it.”
Registration and the law
What India’s ART (Regulation) Rules and Acts say, and what the national registry records for the clinics below.
Each clinic below shows the level the national ART registry records for it, so you can see what else the clinic is registered to do. The level describes the clinic’s ART registration, not this procedure. Of the listings below, 18 are registered as Level 2, 0 as Level 1, and 7 have no level in the registry extract.
What India's ART Act says
Section 27(1): “The screening of gamete donors, the collection, screening and storage of semen; and provision of oocyte donor, shall be done only by a bank registered as an independent entity under the provisions of this Act.”
Section 27(2)(a) requires banks to “obtain semen from males between twenty-one years of age and fifty-five years of age, both inclusive”. Section 27(3): “A bank shall not supply the sperm or oocyte of a single donor to more than one commissioning couple.” Section 21 says “a clinic shall never mix semen from two individuals for the procedures specified under this Act”.
Section 27(6) requires the bank to take a written undertaking from each donor “about the confidentiality of such information.” Ask a clinic which registered ART bank it works with.
All ART procedures, as the Rules define Level 2.
IUI only, as the Rules define Level 1.
No level in the registry extract.
Where Sperm donation is listed
These counts come from reading clinic websites. Of the 4,770 listings in this directory, 910 have a website on record and 894 of those have been read; 458 named at least one treatment. The other 3,860 have no website on record, so there was nothing to read. A clinic missing from this list usually means we have not been able to look, not that it does not offer Sperm donation. Absence here is not evidence that a clinic does not offer it.
