Can Just Anyone Be A Sperm Donor?

Blog written by Laboratory Staff JM

I’m frequently asked this question. The short answer is “no”.

The explanation is more complicated. Sperm donors must meet many requirements. And sperm donation is tightly regulated. So it’s actually quite difficult to become a sperm donor. Donors must go through a lengthy application and screening process. Donors must be between 18 and 39 years old. They need to be healthy and have no significant risk factors. Donors need to have good semen quality. Donors must be tested for many genetic disorders and infectious diseases, and be available for repeat testing.

Cryogenic Laboratories, Inc. has very high standards for donors, and we accept less than 1% of all applicants who apply to our donor program.
