Donor Conception
If you’re conceiving with a sperm donor, egg donor, or embryo donor, genetics is a huge part of the donor selection process. But it doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. We’re here to help support you with this important decision.
We have three options for how we can help.
On-Demand Donor Genetics Information Session
Learn the ins and outs of genetic testing when conceiving with a sperm or egg donor via this on-demand information session.
Through the course of multiple video modules you will learn:
Basic genetics concepts
The type of genetic testing donors have performed
The nuances of genetic testing that fertility clinics don’t tell you
And lots more!
Want to get genetic testing done to help guide your donor selection? After the information session you will have access to all the paperwork you need to get testing done for yourself (Canadian patients only).
Cost: $40
Who this is best for?:
You’re just getting started, or are starting to consider conceiving with a donor
You are thinking about, or need to get genetic testing (carrier screening) as part of the donor selection process
You want to learn on your own schedule, from the comfort of your home
You’re in Canada and want standard expanded carrier screening done as quickly as possible
Donor Genetic Comparison Report
You’ve had your own genetic testing done. You’ve selected a few donors that you’re considering. But how do you know which donor is safe?
Let DNAide generate a donor comparison report! We’ll compare your results to the candidate donors to ensure and clearly indicate:
Any genetic risks
Percentage chance of diseases, if known
Which donor(s) have the lowest risks
Health concerns associated with testing that may not be indicated on the report (if known)
Costs:
$199 for up to 3 donors
$49 for each additional donor
$50 urgent fee if report is needed in less than 2 days
Who is this best for?:
You or your partner have had your own carrier screening
You understand recessive inheritance and the genetic concepts involved
You feel confident in being able to choose which donor to move forward with based on the report only (without speaking to us)
