Donor Sperm Options in Houston

At Advanced Fertility Center of Texas (AFCT), we provide compassionate, personalized fertility care for anyone needing donor sperm to achieve pregnancy. Whether you're a couple facing severe male factor infertility, a single woman choosing motherhood, or a same-sex couple building a family, we'll guide you through every step of the process.

FAMILY BUILDING OPTIONS

Who Uses Donor Sperm?

Donor sperm is an option for:

  • Male factor infertility (low sperm count, motility, or no sperm production)
  • Genetic concerns where using a partner's sperm may pass on an inherited condition
  • Single women by choice who are ready to start a family
  • Lesbian couples who want to conceive using donor sperm
No matter your situation, our team provides inclusive, judgment-free care and helps you create the best family-building plan for your needs.

Medical consultation comparing IUI and IVF treatment options

IUI with Donor Sperm

  • Simple, in-office procedure
  • More affordable, minimal medication
  • Works well for women under 35 with good ovarian reserve

IVF with Donor Sperm

  • Higher success rates per cycle
  • Allows for genetic testing of embryos (PGT-A)
  • Option for embryo freezing for future family planning
  • Preferred for women over 35 or those with additional fertility factors
Your fertility specialist will recommend the best approach based on your age, ovarian reserve, and family-building goals.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

How Are Donors Screened?

We only work with FDA-approved sperm banks that thoroughly screen all donors for:

  • Genetic conditions
  • Infectious diseases
  • Medical and family history
  • Physical health and lifestyle factors
You'll have access to detailed donor profiles, including childhood/adult photos (when available) and background information.

FAMILY BUILDING OPTIONS

Donor Sperm for LGBTQ+ Family Building

We provide comprehensive donor sperm options to help LGBTQ+ individuals and couples build their families with personalized care and support:

  • For Lesbian Couples: Donor sperm opens multiple paths to parenthood:
    • IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): One partner carries the pregnancy using carefully selected donor sperm
    • Reciprocal IVF: One partner provides the eggs while the other partner carries the pregnancy, creating a beautiful shared journey to parenthood
  • For Single Women: Donor sperm combined with IUI or IVF empowers you to start your family on your own terms, with complete control over your timeline and choices
