About IVF with Sperm Donation
What is IVF with Sperm Donation?
IVF with Sperm Donation is a fertility treatment which can be used to help overcome circumstances where the male partner’s sperm is of a low quality. Additionally, IVF with Sperm Donation is a popular option for solo-mothers undertaking treatment without a male partner, or lesbian couples.
Maigaard is home to one of Denmark’s largest donor banks, ensuring we can offer patients access to a wide selection of high-quality donated sperm without delay and at a price which ensures treatment is accessible.
About Maigaard's Donor Bank
Maigaard has created an internal donor bank to ensure we can offer patients everything required for their IVF treatment without delay, and without the need for costly external sperm banks.
We apply the highest level of rigour when selecting and screening our donors, meaning we can wholeheartedly recommend the donor which matches your criteria. We also provide extensive profiles of our donors, ensuring you can learn even more about your potential donor to ensure they’re the right match for you.
Maigaard’s Donor Bank brings trust, transparency and ease to the process of finding a Sperm Donor.

The IVF with Sperm Donation Process
First Appointment
Arrange a first appointment with one of our expert fertility consultants. First appointments are free of charge and available without delay both online and in-person.
Agree a Treatment Plan
Your consultant will help you find the best treatment based on your unique results and circumstances. If Donor Sperm is required, your consultant will also discuss with you the process and requirements for finding a suitable donor. = Once you’ve agreed a treatment plan you can move directly into treatment.
Donor Selection
You will work with our dedicated donation coordinator to understand the options available to you. Your coordinator will liaise closely with your doctor to understand the requirements, as well as your personal preference, to ensure we suggest the best possible matches from Maigaard’s Donor Bank.
Stimulation and Monitoring
Our nurses will help you to understand how to take “stimulation” medication, which helps your body produce more mature eggs in a single cycle.
Egg Collection
Once the eggs reach the optimal level of maturity our team will help you arrange your egg collection. This non-surgical procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, and you’re able to return home afterwards.
Embryo Creation
Your eggs and the donated sperm will be combined by our expert laboratory team to create embryos. These embryos are then developed until they reach the Blastocyst stage, with their progress being monitored at every step.
Embryo Transfer
Your consultant will help to decide on the highest quality embryo to use for transfer. Any additional embryos can then be frozen for use at a later date.
Pregnancy Test
Two weeks after your treatment you will be invited to conduct a pregnancy test, which will indicate the outcome of your treatment. Whatever the result, our team are by your side to help you with the next steps.

About IVF with Sperm Donation
Frequently asked questions about IVF with Sperm Donation
Is IVF with Sperm Donation right for me?
IVF with Sperm Donation is used in a variety of situations including; when there is a known “male-factor’ fertility issue, such as low sperm count, or for those looking to conceive without a male partner such as solo-mothers or same sex female couples.
IVF with Sperm Donation allows these people to create embryos which can then be transferred during an embryo transfer.
How long is the waiting list for Donor Sperm?
The waiting time for donated sperm depends on the donor characteristics which you are looking for. It can range from being immediately available to requiring a wait of some weeks to find the perfect donor for you. Maigaard has created a Donor Bank to ensure you have access to high-quality donated sperm without delay, and with added peace of mind that a member of the Maigaard donation team has personally screened and approved all potential donors.
How do I pick the right Sperm Donor?
You will work closely with our Donation Coordinators to pick the right sperm donor. The process will begin with you doctor who will explain to you the main requirements for your donor, and also start to understand more about your preferences including height, hair, eye and skin colour. Our Donation Coordinators will then present a potential match for you to consider. Once you have agreed a match the donated sperm will be securely reserved for your use.
What if I want to create siblings for my donor conceived child?

Who are the Sperm Donors?
Sperm donors are men who decided to donate sperm in order to help other’s create a family. Sperm donor’s are all “altruistic”, meaning they are donating out of generosity rather than for profit.
