Sperm Donor Questions - Sorry if TMI

I'm not trying to offend anyone I'm actually here because I have serious questions and thought I would ask the loyal members what they have to say.

I'm late 30s and I'm yet to have my own offspring, I'm not even that worried but I feel like instead of wasting what I have why not actually help someone who actually needs it?

I've been reading but it looks like you will be denied if you have any kind of medical issue? Like that's a little discriminatory?

My issue isn't Life threatening or contagious or anything like that…

I really feel for the ladies out there who have that maternal instincts and want to have a child but without the headaches of a man, or their man has his own issues with sperm.

I'm sitting here thinking why can't I just help out some ladies? Is it even legal? Moral?

I mean I know of many women who are single mothers, mostly unfortunately the men run away leaving the woman with child.

so how is that different from sperm donorship except for the actual intercourse?

I'm not sure what women will say or think?
But I was just curious why can't I do it privately?
Help out some rather lonely women?

I mean I just don't like the idea of wasting my sperm if I can help others?

Thanks

    Do us a favour OP and keep it to yourself.

  • I think I've seen a good bull or racehorse might earn $2M per year in 'service' fees - or maybe they just use test-tubes these days - uber sperm

    I think the bible said Onan spilled his seed on the ground - was that a waste - no, if lotsa little baby Onans sprung up from that fertile soil

    I believe the US has a whole free market for fuglies who can't attract face-to-face - maybe $200 a throw

    and if you're more attractive than them - how low can you go - then they might pay you to do them - slowly …

    Done some research plenty of people out there needing help who can't afford to or want to go through IVF so I can help I will… Going to see my GP tomorrow and getting sperm analysis test done soon. For all the smart comments I'm seriously looking at helping people genuinely.

    • Believe me m8 save your dough on that test !

      • It's free mate

        • Doesn't your time have some value ?

          It’s not free. If you’re suggesting using a bulk billing GP Medicare pays - this is a completely inappropriate use of Medicare funding. It would be appropriate if you had an actual partner (or even and interested recipient) you were trying to get pregnant with and even still a test usually won’t be offered unless you’re having difficulty conceiving, particularly if you’re accessing Medicare to fund any testing.

          • @morse: My Medicare covers everything

            • +1

              @Jjj888: Medicare isn’t free it’s paid for by taxpayers.

              There’s also eligibility criteria for every item number - you wouldn’t meet the criteria for what you’re suggesting, so if your GP does use those item numbers they can be penalised for Medicare fraud.

              You still haven’t said what your ‘medical issue’ is, last time I checked there’s no ICD code for ‘troll’ - but it certainly is something you’d want to tell prospective parents about, hence you’re not eligible to donate through a reputable organisation.

              • @morse: I was just saying ive had Medicare my whole life and it's covered everything

                • +1

                  @Jjj888: There’s a lot Medicare doesn’t cover when it comes to fertility and pregnancy (eg NIPT). There would be an out of pocket expense for semen analysis.

                  • @morse: Okay I guess I'll find out what GP says

                    • +1

                      @Jjj888: Not that I’m encouraging you to see a GP about this in the middle of a pandemic - but yes please come back and tell us what the GP says.

                      If you are serious, I’d suggest genetic testing and family medical history is more pertinent than semen analysis.

                      • @morse: All I did was ring up book an appointment was pretty easy & what exactly does genetic testing entail

                        • +1

                          @Jjj888: They take blood samples and look for genetic traits you might pass on. Anyone receiving your sperm would likely want this information as some conditions are passed on when either one or both you and the recipient have certain genes. Eg cystic fibrosis, haemophilia, thalassemia. Whilst most people have babies through natural conception without any prior genetic testing, when it comes to donating sperm to someone, they are very likely to want to know your full medical history including that of your family. Some conditions that can be passed on increase the risk miscarriage and still birth, which is traumatising for the mother. Even things like knowing if you are rhesus positive or negative are important, as if the mother is neg and you are positive she would have to have anti-D injections to reduce the risk of miscarriage in future pregnancies.

                          This is all a bit of a weird process to go through when you don’t actually have a prospective recipient. It sounds like your ‘medical issue’ will be a barrier for anyone choosing you as a donor anyway. If you really want to pass on your genes, just find a partner and have kids. Maybe what you really need is a surrogate - it kinda seems like you want children but not necessarily a partner. There are actually a number of men who have done this eg Christiano Ronaldo. What’s the point of passing on your genes if you never meet the kid?

                          If you’re just trying to be altruistic to mums who want a baby, they probably won’t choose you as a donor because of this mystery medical condition you have.

                          • @morse: I'm honestly just trying to do something nice. I may need to get some more information and exactly what tests need to be done, I do have a medical issue but nobody else in my family has so I don't see it as being genetic?

                            All of my family and siblings have had multiple children with no issues no illnesses no miscarriages.

                            I've just yet to meet someone and worried I may not so was hoping i could help someone and that way still be able to have some body out there with my DNA before I get too old.

                            • @Jjj888: What’s the medical condition? It can easily be genetic and no one else in the family have it, surely you learned about recessive genes at school? Also it’s very possible you wouldn’t know if people in your family have had miscarriages. People often don’t tell others as it can be painful to talk about. Also in the past it wasn’t talked about as much, it’s a fairly recent thing that some people are more open to talking about it - women in the past suffered in silence. Not that a family history of would be a reason alone not to have kids/donate. Some people are just not a good genetic match, which is why some women with partners still use donated sperm.

                              Honestly put your effort into finding a partner if you want to pass on your genes. I think deep down you know having your own kids is what you want.

                              • @morse: Yes obviously I hope so, just haven't had much luck

                                  @Jjj888: Focus on this instead of donating sperm - definitely also don’t tell any prospective partners about wanting to be a sperm donor, it will very likely put them off.

                            • @Jjj888:

                              I'm honestly just trying to do something nice.

                              No offence, it's starting to sound like this is more about you and you trying to satisfy your ego. Something you do to tell yourself that you will go to heaven and all sins will be forgiven.

                              If you do have concerning medical/genetic issues, you won't be helping the mother or the child. You can carry the bad gene but not show any signs of the medical illness.
                              After seeing someone I know have with a baby with medical issues, not being to live like a regular kid and followed by death before 4yo, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

    • Please don’t waste a GPs time with this.

      Particularly if you’re in a lockdown area, remember than medical care is meant to be ‘essential’

      What would the process be? You jack into a container and ship it via express post to the person who wants it and they use a turkey baster?

      • People are actually doing it in person it's all over Facebook
