Are you hoping to get pregnant?

Have you already selected your directed donor?

Is your directed donor in a far away city? or another state!?

Wondering how you’re going to get the sperm and egg together?

No Worries

Donor Home Delivery allows your donor to ship sperm (semen) with a non-toxic preservative on a cold pack so it will remain viable for insemination.

The preservative keeps sperm viable for up to 96 hours in a refrigerator and has been used for decades by fertility clinics.  Your donor sends you a semen sample via overnight delivery, and once it arrives at your home you can easily do a vaginal self-insemination.  See FAQ page for more about what’s in the preservative, including egg yolk.

Donor Home Delivery does not prevent the transmission of disease.  Make sure your donor is tested and is a person who you trust.  Please note in our Terms and Conditions that we do not endorse nor support working with a donor whom you do not know.  By making a purchase on this site you are testifying that your donor is known to you (a “directed donor”), and not someone you’ve met on an app or on the internet, etc.  This process can be trying, but please prioritize keeping yourself and your future child safe at all times.  Please see our Safety page for suggestions and, please, consult your licensed medical professional (midwife, nurse practitioner, or doctor).


How Does This Work

  1. You or your donor orders a Donor Home Delivery kit.
  2. Donor Home Delivery kit is sent to the donor’s home.
  3. YOU AND YOUR DONOR MUST READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PAGE OF THIS SITE, IN FULL.
  4. Use an Ovulation Predictor Kit to predict the correct 24-48 hour window for insemination.
  5. Once the Ovulation Predictor Kit turns positive, ask your donor to send you a semen sample using Donor Home Delivery as soon as possible.
  6. Your donor needs to use an overnight delivery service (i.e. FedEx, UPS)
  7. Once you receive the package, follow the instructions (see instruction page) for a home vaginal self-insemination.

It’s a very simple process.

Testimonials

“My wife and I had planned on meeting up with our donor (a friend of ours) in person to get sperm. While our donor lives in NY and we live in CA, he often travels to CA for work, and we didn’t want to go through a sperm bank and didn’t want to pay for freezing and storing his sperm when we could just meet up and see if we could do it ourselves. Unfortunately, then the pandemic hit and traveling of any kind was out of the question.
We were pretty skeptical when we found the Donor Home Delivery website but decided to try it out. We had it shipped directly to our donor to store while we waited for peak ovulation. We let him know when we were ready (a day or two before peak ovulation) and told him to make the sample and get to the Fedex office as close to their last shipment time as possible (we used Fedex First Overnight) so the sperm had the least possible amount of time outside of a body. We received the shipment on time and, because we were curious, looked at it under a microscope. There they were, tiny sperm swimming around! So we went ahead and inseminated.
Our first try didn’t take so we tried again with the same process. This time the package traveled through California wildfires and arrived many hours late to our door. Two weeks after insemination we had our first positive pregnancy test, and we almost couldn’t believe our eyes. I’m now 20 weeks pregnant and am still grateful for Donor Home Delivery. I only wish more people knew this was an affordable, accessible option for people in our position. For us, not knowing whether I was even fertile, this was a great thing to try before moving onto more expensive options. We can’t wait to tell our baby about their first trip from NY to CA.”  -N.R.

“We knew we wanted to use my wife’s best friend as our donor, but he lives in AZ and we live in MI, so we figured we would have to alternate traveling with him back and forth to make this happen. We did that a couple of times, but we quickly realized that wasn’t really feasible because of time off work and travel expenses. We investigated banking his sperm and having it frozen, but that was going to cost three times what anonymous sperm from a bank would cost, our donor would have to go through rigorous testing, and the sperm would have to be quarantined for 6 months before we could even use it. We just couldn’t justify spending that much for each vial of sperm and waiting 6 months to try again, especially since I am 37 and my clock is ticking. We were almost ready to give up on using him as a donor completely until we discovered the overnight shipping method using TYB.

We ordered a few times from another company and had no luck, so we bought a sperm testing kit to see if the “little swimmers” were even viable after being shipped. To our dismay, when we received our next donation, the sperm were mostly dead, with only a few twitching and not even swimming. Again, we were about to give up on using this donor, but we decided to give it another go using TYB purchased from Donor Home Delivery.

We were still really skeptical and didn’t think this method was going to be feasible at all, but we still had a few testing slides left in our testing kit, so we ordered from Donor Home Delivery and had the kit shipped directly to our donor. I accidentally put in the wrong shipping address when I placed my order, so I emailed the company and received a prompt reply. Michelle put my mind at ease by ensuring the kit would be shipped on time (because we all know time is of the essence), and that the address would be corrected (which it was).

When we received our donation that was shipped overnight using the Donor Home Delivery kit, it was about 26 hours after our donor prepared the shipment. Still feeling really skeptical, we inseminated, and then took a couple of drops of what was left over in the container it was shipped in and placed them on the testing slide. To our complete surprise, 26 hours later, we had an extremely viable donation with LOTS of swimmers! (see video for reference)

While we aren’t pregnant yet, after seeing how viable that last donation was, we are confident we can continue using the donor we want with the method we want, in the privacy of our home. We know this process can get very expensive and can become quite clinical and impersonal using other methods, and we are so grateful to have found a more affordable option to try. Thank you, Donor Home Delivery, for giving us hope!”  -A.C.

“I just wanted to share that with a little bit of science (Donor Home Delivery kit) and a whole lot of prayer, we are expecting a baby! As an active duty military family, we had very few periods of time when we could grow our family in a traditional sense. This concept and website is such a great resource and I hope more families are able to use it!
Thank you!!”  -K.A.
