Starting a family can be quite the adventure, and for some, it’s a little more complex than others. If you find yourself needing some extra support, our complete donation program is here to help guide you on that journey.
Using Donors for Parenthood
At TFP Fertility, we recognize just how vital family is, and we’re committed to helping you fulfill your dreams of becoming a parent, no matter the challenges. For some, this means turning to our extensive donation program, which assists those looking to expand their family with donor eggs or sperm. We prioritize your care, confidentiality, and support, making your path to parenthood as smooth as possible.
Is Donor Conception Right for You?
Many individuals and couples rely on donors to achieve their parenting dreams. Here are a few scenarios where you might consider this option:
- You’re unable to produce your own eggs or sperm, or your gametes might not lead to a successful pregnancy.
- You identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
- You are a single individual looking to become a parent.
- You have concerns about inheriting a genetic condition.
Finding the Perfect Donor
If you’re ready to build your family with a donor, the first step is locating the right match for you.
- Explore Your Clinic’s Donation Bank: Many fertility clinics maintain their own donor banks, where you can browse through profiles of available egg and sperm donors. Be sure to check wait times, as they can vary significantly.
- Consider a Known Donor: If you have a friend or family member willing to help, that’s great! Just keep in mind that they need to undergo the same health screenings as anonymous donors. There are also regulations about donating between close relatives.
- Shop Online for Donor Gametes: You can find donor eggs or sperm from accredited online banks that will ship to your designated clinic. Just ensure that the sources are reputable and meet all required medical and legal standards. And remember to confirm any costs associated with the purchase and shipping.
We’re here to help you every step of the way. Our team is ready to assist you in understanding your options and finding the perfect donor. It’s time to start your journey towards building your family with confidence.
Fertility Treatments with Donated Gametes
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): This involves mixing healthy eggs with sperm in a lab and allowing them to develop into embryos, which are then transferred to the birth parent.
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): For those using sperm donors, IUI is a less invasive method that places sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. This NHS resource provides more information about this procedure.
- Surrogacy: If you’re considering a surrogate, you might need both donor eggs and sperm depending on your unique situation. We’ll provide guidance throughout the entire process.
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): For some patients, transferring frozen embryos may be necessary, and our advanced freezing techniques have led to high success rates.
