Family limit options
A donor's donations can help many families across the world - all within the confines of national legislation. On average, a European Sperm Bank donor helps 25 families worldwide.
If you're interested in using a donor who has helped a smaller number of families, we have a limited range of donors with lower family limits.
Our services
Our family limits
As a licenced sperm bank, we always adhere to national legislation regarding the number of families in a given country that a donor's sperm can assist in conceiving.
On average, a donor helps 25 families worldwide. Since there is no international cap on the number of families a donor can help, we have set a worldwide cap of 75 families for our donors.
Some of our customers want to further limit the number of families that their donor helps. If you are also interested in this, you have three options. You can choose a donor who can help 15 families, a donor who can help 5 families or a donor who will only help your family.
The limit applies to families because we want to make it possible for parents to have a full sibling to the child(ren) they have already conceived using a sperm donor.
Family15 donors
Donor sperm from Family15 donors can be used by up to 15 reported families. We keep track of the number of families by closely monitoring the number of pregnancies reported by clinics. All the fertility clinics we work with are obligated to inform us of all pregnancies. When a Family15 donor has reached 15 reported families, we make the donor unavailable to new families.
In some cases, a Family15 donor will contribute to more than 15 families. This can happen if a fertility clinic using that donor's sperm makes a late pregnancy report.
When choosing a Family15 donor, you're purchasing a combined solution containing:
- Sperm straws for 5 treatments
- Free sperm storage for five years
- A pregnancy slot securing you the right to use the donor

Family5 donors
Donors with a Family5 limit can only be used by four other families apart from yours. There is no limit on the number of children you can have.
When choosing a Family5 donor, you're purchasing a combined solution containing:
- Sperm straws for 10 treatments
- Free sperm storage for 10 years

Family1 donors
Choosing a Family1 donor means that only your family can use the given donor's sperm to have a child. There is no limit on the number of children you can have.
When choosing a Family1 donor, you're purchasing a combined solution containing:
- Sperm straws for 10 treatments
