On January 30, 2024, the Bavarian State Social Court ruled that the costs of storing sperm or eggs as part of a germ cell-damaging therapy must be reimbursed by the statutory health insurance fund. This applies if you have stored sperm or eggs with us or are planning to do so.

Our standards

 

Content

We, the doctors at the Erlangen Sperm Bank, only use sperm samples from qualified and trustworthy donors, whose suitability for sperm donation has been determined by us personally, both in terms of health examinations and in terms of their character maturity and motivation.

In addition, we strictly adhere to the guidelines of the German Association for Donor Insemination, which represents all physicians and institutions in Germany involved in the collection, storage and processing of donor sperm.

Treatment with our samples can be performed either at our affiliated Kinderwunsch Erlangen or at a Center for Reproductive Medicine near your home.

Content

We are committed to the following four medical
safety levels we commit ourselves to you:

    Number: 1.

    Preliminary examinations

    Through thorough pre-screening and careful selection, only high quality semen samples from healthy and trustworthy donors are offered.

    Number: 2.

    Examination of donors

    Regular donor testing and 6-month quarantine storage of semen samples ensure that all semen samples used are free from the risk of infection with Hepatitis, AIDS, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Cytomegaly and Chlamydia.

    Number: 3.

    Hereditary disease testing

    All sperm donors are tested for transmission of the hereditary disease cystic fibrosis.

    Number: 4.

    Quality Inspection

    A random sample of each frozen sperm donation is thawed and the quality of the sperm is checked after thawing and processing. Donations that do not meet quality requirements after thawing are discarded.
