New Life Specialized Medical Center of Gynecology has its own in-house donor sperm bank comprised of samples from carefully selected and tested donors of spermatozoa. The tests carried out include HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Syphilis tests. Donor sperm is frozen and quarantined for a period of 180 days. Before his samples are released from quarantine, each donor is retested in order to minimize the risk of disease transmission. All approved donors are healthy young men with very high quality sperm.
As well as its own cryobank, New Life has a contract with 2 international European sperm banks. They offer a wide range of over 150 donors of various ethnicity, hair and eye colour, height, weight, blood type and educational status. As well as the transmissive diseases testing, required by Bulgarian law, the two cryobanks that we work with also test the carrier status of their donors for some of the most common genetic diseases in the European population, such as Cystic Fibrosis and Sickle Cell Anemia. Due to transportation costs and the higher standard of living in Western Europe, donor sperm from the European sperm banks is, however, more expensive.
If you are interested in an assisted reproductive procedure with donor sperm, you may come to New Life for a free consultation. During the consultation, one of our embryologists will help you chose a donor and will provide detailed information about your upcoming procedure.
