How many families can use the same sperm donor?

Cryos International Sperm Bank follows the national quota which defines the number of families that can use a donor in a given country. You can always check if the national quota has been reached for a specific donor in the Sperm Donor Search. To do so, you must ensure that your account is set up with the correct treatment country and country of residence.

Please check with the authorities in your own country if you are interested in knowing the national quota.

For those who prefer a clearly defined upper limit on the number of families their donor can help, we offer donors with worldwide limits of 15 or 50 families. Learn more about this option here.

How many families can a sperm donor help in different countries?

In some countries, you need to purchase a quota per family, whilst other countries require you to purchase a quota for each child or per woman. An example of a national quota is Denmark, where a donor can help 12 families. The quota in Denmark is focused on families and not children, meaning that a donor may help to conceive more than 12 children.
