- Screening and Matching
The first step for potential sperm donors is a comprehensive screening process. Donors are tested for a wide range of infectious diseases (such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and C) and genetic conditions to ensure the health and safety of the recipient and the potential child. Additionally, donors undergo a detailed medical history assessment and a psychological evaluation to confirm that they are fit to donate.
The Gokidu app simplifies the screening process by providing step-by-step guidance, allowing donors to easily schedule tests with trusted clinics and track their results in real-time.
- Donating Sperm
Once the donor passes the screening process, they are invited to donate sperm. This is done through a private, non-invasive procedure at a fertility clinic. The sperm is collected, analyzed for quality, and then frozen for storage (also known as cryopreservation).
In many cases, sperm donations are frozen for several months before use to ensure that the donor remains healthy and free from infectious diseases during that period. The Gokidu app offers easy scheduling for donations and keeps donors informed about the status of their samples.
- Matching the Donor and Recipient
Recipients searching for a sperm donor can browse through donor profiles on platforms like Gokidu , reviewing key details such as physical characteristics, medical history, and more. The app uses advanced algorithms to help recipients find the best match based on their preferences. For anonymous donations, personal information remains confidential, while known donors may choose to establish a relationship with the recipient.
- Using Donated Sperm
Once a donor is selected, the recipient undergoes the necessary fertility treatment, either through intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). These treatments involve placing the donor’s sperm in the recipient’s uterus or fertilizing the recipient’s egg in a lab before transferring it to the uterus.
