Helaas kun je je niet aanmelden om spermadonor te worden
Om spermadonor te worden, moet je tussen de 18 en 45 jaar oud zijn. De uiterste datum voor donatie is de dag voordat je 46 wordt. Wij verwachten dat je bereid bent om minimaal 1 jaar te doneren. Met het oog op de aanmeldingstijd accepteren wij geen aanvragen als het minder dan 18 maanden duurt voordat je 46 wordt. We verontschuldigen ons voor het ongemak.
Persoons- en contactgegevens
How it works
First visit to European sperm bank
On your first visit to the sperm bank, simply turn up at the clinic and identify yourself at the reception (please bring your ID). We will ask you how many hours it has been since your last ejaculation. It must be between 48 and 72 hours.
You will then receive a cup and be shown to a room, where you will deposit your sample. When finished, just leave your sample at the reception desk.
Within a week, you will receive an email telling you if your sperm count is good enough to become a donor. If so, you can continue with the donation process. The screening of sperm quality is not diagnostic and cannot replace a doctor’s visit.
