Important Considerations
When choosing donor sperm for Partner IVF, couples have several options to consider. At Fertility Specialists of WA, you have the option to use known donor sperm or clinic recruited donor sperm available through Addam Donor Bank.
If you choose a known donor, it’s typically someone you have a personal relationship with, such as a friend or family member. Known donors undergo the same medical and psychological assessments as clinic recruited donors to ensure they meet all health and legal requirements.
For more information about using donor sperm, visit our "Using donor sperm" page.
Additionally before you agree to undergo this type of treatment, you should take time to decide which partner will contribute the egg and which partner will carry the pregnancy. Carefully consider the pros and cons of each role and talk openly with each other about your expectations for the pregnancy.
