Male fertility - it takes two to tango

by Dr Gillian Lockwood
continued from page 4
Donor sperm is donated by generous, altruistic men who have high natural fertility and who have been screened for all known genetic and infective diseases. Donor sperm inseminations can be performed in natural or stimulated cycles and success rates are 10–15% per cycle for young women under 35 and 5–10% per cycle for older women. By law in the UK, the woman's husband or partner is the legal father of a baby who is born following the use of donor sperm and his name goes on the birth certificate. Donors are 'matched' to the physical characteristics (height, skin colour, eye colour, hair colour, blood group etc) of the man who will be the baby's father and sperm donors are, at present, guaranteed anonymity.
