How long does it take to donate sperm at the various donation centers?

For the sperm donor:

Sperm donation includes a medical check-up and several sperm collections (the number of collections will depend on sperm characteristics: sperm count and motility). The center organizes appointments according to the donor's availability. The procedure can be completed in a matter of weeks or months.

For people undergoing assisted reproduction with sperm donation: The time required to receive a sperm donation varies widely across France. They depend on the stock available. It is important to make sperm donation known to as many people as possible to reduce delays. Delays can also vary according to requests for matching with recipients, for whom donors with the same physical characteristics are rarer.

In order to reduce these delays, the Agence de la biomédecine is conducting a vast national communication campaign on gamete donation to raise awareness among the public of donating age, and thus recruit new donors.
