Donation
One in six couples seeks medical help in order to achieve a pregnancy and for some treatment with donated sperm is their only hope of conceiving a baby.
Sperm donation has been used for over a hundred years as a form of assisted conception. Unfortunately over the last few years there has been a fall in the number of donors coming forward and as a result there is a national shortage of sperm for fertility treatment.
To help its patients Bourn Hall Clinic has established its own sperm bank and this has been successful in attracting donors and more are required to meet the needs of couples desperate for a child.
