Donor Sperm
Donor sperm offers a path to parenthood for individuals and couples who cannot or choose not to use sperm from a male partner. IVF Florida provides access to a wide network of sperm banks and supports patients through the clinical, emotional, and legal considerations of using donor sperm in treatment.
This option is commonly used by single parents, lesbian couples, and patients pursuing fertility treatment after a diagnosis of male factor infertility or genetic conditions.
