Why to Choose Gennet for Donor Sperm Treatment?
Who Is This Treatment For?
Treatment using donated sperm is a suitable and successful option for heterosexual couples in which the man has been diagnosed with a serious fertility disorder (e.g., azoospermia – absence of sperm in the ejaculate) or is a carrier of a serious genetic disease that cannot be detected by PGT testing.
Step-by-Step: What to Expect
We strive to make the process clear, comfortable, and stress-free.
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Treatment Planning
Your journey begins with a consultation with our IVF specialist to review your medical history and determine the most suitable method--typically intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Step 2: Donor Matching
Based on your requirements (and your partner's phenotype), our specialized coordinator will select several of the most suitable anonymous donors from our database. We know the basic characteristics of the donors, such as eye color, hair color, height, weight, and blood type.
Step 3: Treatment (IUI or IVF)
-
IUI: At the time of your ovulation or just before it, carefully prepared donor sperm is inserted directly into the uterus using a thin catheter. It is a quick and painless outpatient procedure that does not require any special recovery.
-
IVF: After hormonal stimulation, egg retrieval is performed under short general anesthesia. Your eggs are fertilized in the laboratory with donor sperm, most commonly using the ICSI method, and the resulting embryos are then cultured. In most cases, one embryo is transferred at the blastocyst stage, and additional embryos can be frozen using vitrification.
Step 4: Pregnancy Test & Follow-Up
About 14 days post-treatment, you'll return for a blood test to confirm pregnancy. If successful, we're happy to provide early pregnancy care in our prenatal clinic.
Legal Framework & Donor Anonymity in the Czech Republic
Treatment with donated sperm in the Czech Republic is governed by strict legislation ensuring safety and legal clarity for all parties:
-
Mutual anonymity: Donor identity is fully anonymous. You will never know your donor's identity, nor will the donor ever know yours or your child's.
-
Legal certainty: The donor has no legal rights or responsibilities towards the child. Legal parents are the birth mother and her partner who signed consent for the treatment.
Cost of IVF Treatment with Donor Sperm
At Gennet, we provide individualised care for each couple, so the final treatment cost depends on many factors and varies for each patient couple. Special laboratory methods can significantly increase the chances of pregnancy. The most suitable treatment approach for each couple will be recommended by the doctor or embryologist. However, the final decision to use these methods is always up to the patients.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are you ready to take the next step on your journey to starting a family? Our team at Gennet Prague and Liberec is here for you.
Can I choose a donor based on a photo?
Czech law prohibits donor selection based on photographs. Matching is done using blood type and physical traits (e.g., height, eye and hair color) to ensure resemblance with you or your partner.
What is the success rate of donor sperm treatments?
Success rates are high due to the use of sperm from healthy, fertile young men. IUI has a success rate of approx. 15–20% per cycle, while IVF can reach 60–70% per embryo transfer.
How much does donor sperm cost?
The cost per sperm sample is listed in our price list. Treatment costs for IUI or IVF are additional. A personalized financial plan is discussed during your initial consultation.
How long will I wait for a suitable donor?
Thanks to our extensive donor database, waiting times are minimal. In most cases, we can match you with a donor immediately and start treatment in your next cycle.
