Supporting the Donor Conception Network

The Donor Concpetion Network (DCN) asked if they could share a webinar Valerie presented in collaboration with the European Fertility Society entitled ‘Dilemmas for donor sperm selection, provider information explained’. with their members. The Webinar was recorded in 2021, however, the information and content are still current. The DCN considered the session as good starting for the background to help navigate the donor bank websites covering considerations for : 

 

Characteristics available on sperm donor bank profiles 

Family medical history information 

Screening processes and genetic tests performed on donors 

Understanding expanded carrier screening (ECS) 

Diseases detectable through genetic testing 

What sample purchase options mean 

 

We hope that members will find the webinar helpful and leave questions for us via the webinar platform or DCN.
