Initial Consultation
Understanding Your Needs
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at Ivy Surrogacy. During this initial meeting, we will take the time to understand exactly what you are looking for in a sperm donor. We consider all your preferences, including ethnicity, blood type, height, educational background, and geographic location.

After your consultation, we will present a curated selection of qualified sperm donor profiles that match your criteria. You will gain access to our secure donor database, where you can view education background, medical history, genetic screening results, and personal traits.

Making the Connection
After reviewing donor profiles and selecting a sperm donor who aligns with your preferences, the donor's medical records will be reviewed by your fertility clinic. Upon successful review, you will sign a retainer with us, confirming your match.
What Happens After Sample Collection?
After collection, the donor's sperm is processed and prepared for your chosen fertility treatment. For IUI, the sperm is washed and directly placed in the uterus. For IVF, the sperm is used to fertilize eggs in the laboratory.
The resulting embryos can be cultured, genetically tested (if desired), and either transferred fresh or frozen for future use. If you plan to use a gestational surrogate, the embryos can be transferred to your surrogate once she is medically and legally cleared.
