Sperm is retrieved by masturbating into a sterile container after two to three days of sexual abstinence. Longer abstinence is not desirable as it may not give the expected result. For this purpose, the clinic has a special discreet room where you can go alone or accompanied by your partner. You can also bring a sample (in a container issued by the clinic) from your home or hotel. However, you must be able to do this within an hour and hand it in yourself.
We then freeze the sperm so that it is ready to use on the day we receive the eggs from the donor.
