free sperm donations?

semerade · 02-02-2007, 05:55 PM

Are there any labs,organizations,etc that offer free sperm donations? We are about to go broke with all the fertility related expenses, and yet so desperate to have a baby. I heard about people who are so generous and kind about donating sperm/eggs in Europe. I am not sure if this is done in the U.S. My DH and I want to keep this to ourselves, so we can't ask a relative or a friend. I just wanted to see if anybody heard of this. Thank you.

I didn't think that buying a few vials of sperm is that expensive.... is it? Isn't it just a couple hundred? If you are just doing home insems and BMS there is no cost except the sperm. Now if you do IUI it is a bit more. IVF is a lot. Have you checked into prices for vials of sperm and IUI's?

We have been paying 300 per vial (2 vials per cycle). I am using every Ovulation detection device out there in the market. It has been months with no luck. It feels like we are chasing a shadow
