Did you know that we’re one of the only fertility clinics in the country that doesn’t rely on imported foreign donor sperm to help the increasing numbers of single women who want to have a family?
Our dedicated sperm donor treatment programme is specifically designed by our fertility specialists to meet your needs, giving you access to safe, health-screened UK donor sperm from our own Semovo sperm bank, a choice of funding plans to make treatment cost-effective and counselling for emotional support during your journey.
You can start treatment straight away at Manchester Fertility; we don’t have a waiting list for our UK-based HFEA-registered sperm donors who are traceable and identifiable to your child in future.
Why use a fertility clinic for treatment with donor sperm?
With increasing numbers of co-parent ‘matching’ sites and men even advertising their sperm online, it may seem like a quick, low-cost option to pregnancy - but it carries significant risks compared to donor sperm insemination at a licensed fertility clinic.
We don’t recommend performing ‘DIY treatment’ at home because of these risks to you and your child, and because of complex legal parenthood issues that can arise through treatment outside of a licensed setting.
If you have treatment with us you’re reassured that your sperm donor is not your child’s legal parent and his sperm is safe for your use.
