Five reasons to donate your sperm

Are you a healthy guy aged 18-45? Then we need you! Sperm donors are in demand, you could be the exact donor someone’s been looking for and earn yourself £45 for every clinic visit you make.

Here are five great reasons why you should donate your sperm, and choose Semovo as your donor sperm bank:

Sperm donation: Rewarding for you, life-changing for others

Donating sperm is a great experience. Not just for you, but also for those whose lives you are changing. There’s nothing better than finding out a baby has been born thanks to you. When you donate your sperm, you are donating the gift of life, the hope of a child. It’s one of the most amazing and rewarding things you can ever do. And becoming a sperm donor has no risk to your health, and no impact on your own fertility.

Wide application criteria for sperm donors

The great thing about sperm donation is its wide application criteria. It doesn’t matter how educated you are, what you look like, who you are. If you’re aged 18-45 and in good health, you can apply. There’s no set ‘rule’ about the type of donors we’re looking for, as each patient’s ‘ideal donor’ is different. What we will say however is that sperm donors of ethnic backgrounds are always in high demand, there are many patients who are searching for a donor that shares the same ethnic background but not enough men from these communities coming forward to donate. Can you help?

The Semovo difference

At Semovo we make sperm donation easy and stress-free. Appointments are scheduled to suit you, at your choice of regional donation clinic, with your needs taken care of by a friendly yet professional team. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We appreciate your donation, your time and your commitment, and will always treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve. We aim to make your time with us an amazing and enjoyable experience that you can be proud of.

Rising demand for sperm donors

Sperm donors are in demand right now across the UK. More women than ever are using donated sperm to conceive: single women are choosing to have a baby on their own, same-sex couples are becoming parents and couples with male fertility issues are getting the help and guidance they need to start a family.

But whilst there’s increasing demand, there isn’t increasing supply. In many areas of the country, there’s an acute shortage of donor sperm, largely because many eligible men aren’t even aware that they’re needed. Some clinics even have to import sperm from Europe. It’s our aim to ensure people who need donor sperm can find a suitable sperm donor, from right here in the UK.

Compensation: Your sperm is valuable

When you become a sperm donor, your sperm is highly valued but not in the financial sense. You’ll receive £45 per clinic visit, money that compensates you for your time and expenses during the donation process. Donating sperm is a way to make a bit of extra money, but that’s not why men donate sperm to us. The financial reward of sperm donation might be minimal – but the emotional feel-good reward is priceless.
