FAQ's
Tell me about my options for donor insemination
There are several ways in which donor insemination can take place ranging from Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI), Intra Vitro Fertilization (IVF), vaginal insemination and sexual intercourse - depending on the process you choose these procedures will be carried out privately or within a clinic. The most important advice that should be considered first in donor insemination is that appropriate health screening tests have been carried out to establish that the co-parent /donor is in good health before undertaking this process. IUI and IVF will require a referral from your GP and a considerable health testing process for the donor and recipient. Specific step by step advice is available for home insemination by clicking our link from the homepage. What medical tests should our donor and/or recipient have done? We strongly recommend that you discuss and undertake rigorous health screening checks with your potential match before entering into an agreement. Testing for general sexual health and HIV can be carried out free at your local Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) clinic or seek advice through your GP on what tests to undertake. We have listed some tests that we would recommend you consider and would also suggest that you undertake professional advice from your local GP / health clinic on additional tests that may be required as part of the screening process:
HIV Antibody (AIDS test)
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
A HIV test may not prove positive until three months after infection therefore following an initial test you may chose to have another test further down the line to identify whether your match has put themselves at risk within this time.
Do you recommend a legal contract?
This may be a difficult time for all parties involved. We would strongly recommend that you consider drawing up a legal contract of some form before embarking on this quest as it can help in the setting up of decisions that will relate to the child's upbringing. We would suggest you seek legal representation and/or counselling before you both sign up to any legal contract as there are many legal issues and problems which could arise in such arrangements which you may want to consider. Co-ParentMatch.com recommends that you consider every aspect of your agreement in full and if you are in a position to do so gain some legal advice before embarking on your journey. Some co-parents and donors sign contracts that cover many issues from the procedure of insemination through to child access. Co-ParentMatch.com also recommends that member's consider undertaking a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check on potential co-parent partners/donors. How do the payments work?
