Before becoming a sperm donor, it’s important to understand the process, requirements, and regulations. Below are the most frequently asked questions to help you get started.
Compensation & Timeline
Is there compensation for sperm donation? When will it be provided?
Yes. According to Taiwan regulations, a nutrition fee of NT$8,000 will be provided after completing the donation. The payment is issued when you return to the clinic for a follow-up blood test 6 months after sperm collection.
How long does the sperm donation process take?
The sperm donation process typically includes:
- Contact within 7 business days after submitting the application
- Medical tests completed within 7–14 days
- Government review and matching process
- Follow-up blood test at 6 months
Overall, the process usually takes 6 months or longer, depending on review and scheduling.
How many clinic visits are required for sperm donation?
Sperm donation typically requires 3–4 clinic visits, depending on individual test results and scheduling.
Medical Tests & Preparation
What medical tests are required? Do I need to pay?
All medical tests are provided free of charge at NUWA Fertility Center.
Screening includes:
- Semen analysis
- HIV and syphilis testing
- Hepatitis B and C
- Gonorrhea and chlamydia testing
- Chromosome analysis
These tests ensure donor safety and sperm quality.
What should I prepare before sperm donation?
To ensure optimal sperm quality, donors are advised to:
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle (no smoking or alcohol)
- Avoid staying up late
- Abstain from sexual activity for 2–4 days before sperm collection
Eligibility & Regulations
Can married men or men with children donate sperm?
Yes. Men who meet the eligibility criteria can donate sperm, regardless of marital status or whether they have children. Although spousal consent is not legally required, mutual understanding is recommended to avoid future disputes.
How many times can I donate sperm in my lifetime?
In Taiwan, sperm donation is generally limited to one successful donation per lifetime. Once a recipient family achieves a live birth using your donation, you are not eligible to donate again.
Safety & Privacy
How is privacy protected during sperm donation?
NUWA Fertility Center provides a private, secure, and comfortable environment for sperm collection. The entire process is conducted with strict confidentiality to protect donor privacy.
Could my sperm be used by a relative?
No. All donor and recipient information is reviewed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to ensure there is no relationship within the fourth degree of kinship before proceeding.
Is there a risk of future consanguineous marriage?
The risk is extremely low—approximately 1 in 50 million, which is lower than the chance of winning the lottery. Additional verification systems are also available through government channels to ensure safety.
