Donor sperm storage
You can set up a storage account with us to store one or more units from your chosen sperm donor.
Feel free to contact us for guidance.
Why should I store donor sperm?
By setting up a storage with us, you can ensure the availability of sperm units from your preferred donor for multiple treatment attempts. This is especially a good idea if you are undergoing treatment in our IUI department.
This way, you don’t have to worry about the donor being sold out for your next IUI treatment.
You should also consider making a storage if you want to secure the same donor for future siblings.
Order donor sperm units for storage
Follow these steps to set up storage for donor sperm units at Diers Fertility Clinic:
Choose a sperm donor
Log in to the Diers Selected sperm donor archive and select the donor whose sperm units you would like us to store.
Order sperm units and storage
Once you have found your preferred donor, click ‘Buy units’ and select ‘IUI treatment at Diers Klinik’.
Click ‘Continue’, then choose how many units you would like to purchase and how long you would like us to store them. You can select a storage duration of 3, 6 or 12 months. Click “Add to cart”.
Payment
Once you have added the units to your basket, you will see an overview of your order and the total price.
Click ‘Proceed to checkout’. On the next page, choose whether you would like your units to be stored at our clinic in Aarhus or Esbjerg.
You can pay by credit card or bank transfer.
Consider future siblings
If you become pregnant through fertility treatment and wish to have siblings using the same donor in the future, it’s advisable to secure donor units for potential future treatment.
Particularly important for IUI treatment
A sperm storage account for siblings is especially important if your pregnancy resulted from intrauterine insemination (IUI).
In cases of IVF/ICSI or egg donation treatment, any surplus fertilised eggs (blastocysts) are often stored for future sibling use.
Donors can stop donating
Sperm donors participate voluntarily and can stop donating at any time. If this happens, no new units will be produced, and the donor may quickly sell out.
Our experience shows that most women return for sibling treatment about 2-3 years after their first successful treatment. By that time, the same donors are often no longer available.
Our recommendation
We strongly recommend securing sperm units from your donor for future siblings no later than during your pregnancy. These units can be stored in a storage account until needed.
We are always happy to advise you on setting up a sperm storage account.
