What our patients say
When I first decided I wanted to become a solo mum, I almost didn't believe it would be possible, but my family is now complete with my two gorgeous sons, Oscar and Casper. I can't thank Manchester Fertility enough - without them, I wouldn't have my two amazing boys.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I find out about my sperm donor?
Although sperm donors and recipient patients are anonymous to each other, you will be given lots of detailed information about your donor.
Because we get to know our donors well, we can give you some personal insight as well as the information in your sperm donor’s profile, which includes:
Physical details: Such as height, weight, hair, eye colour, ethnicity
Hobbies & career: What your donor likes to do and the job he has
Pen picture: A personal ‘about me’ written by the donor. This is where your donor will go into detail about his outlook on life, personality, family background, current family life, the type of person he is and why he decided to donate sperm.
Goodwill message: Your sperm donor also writes a goodwill message to the child you may have, which you can show them someday.
If your treatment is successful, you can also find out if your donor has helped anyone else to have a family and if your child has any donor siblings, via the HFEA.
Can I reserve sperm for sibling use?
Yes. If your treatment is successful, you can opt for a family-slot reservation, subject to sperm availability. Sperm from your donor will be reserved for you to use in future, so that your children are related.
