Family Limits and Pregnancy Slots
Worldwide family limit of 25 families
For many years, sperm banking has often operated without limits on how many families can use sperm from a single donor. This has raised concerns among donor-conceived individuals, parents, and donors about the long-term social and personal impact.
At Premier Sperm Bank, we take a different approach. We are committed to ethical family limits that support the wellbeing of donor-conceived individuals while helping families grow responsibly.
This allows families to have genetic siblings if they wish to expand in the future, subject to any national regulations that may apply.
Our family limit policy
Globally, we have a maximum of 25 families per donor. Pregnancy slots and worldwide family limits serve different purposes, and together they support responsible donor use within national rules and across borders.

Pregnancy slots
A pregnancy slot gives you the right to use your chosen donor within the national limits in your country of treatment. You automatically get a pregnancy slot free of charge at Premier Sperm Bank.
Pregnancy slots
A pregnancy slot gives you the right to use your chosen donor within the national pregnancy limits in your country of treatment. These limits are set by local regulations and define how many families or children a donor may be used for within a specific country.
Holding a pregnancy slot helps ensure that you can continue to use the same donor for future siblings, where permitted by national regulations.
Pregnancy slots are commonly charged as an additional fee, typically ranging from €200 to €350, whereas at Premier Sperm Bank they are included in the price.
Pregnancy slots vs. worldwide family limits
Pregnancy slots relate to national regulations, which typically limit the number of families or children per donor within a specific country.
Our worldwide family limit is separate and applies globally. At Premier Sperm Bank, we allow a maximum of 25 families per donor worldwide.
Together, these measures help ensure responsible use of donor sperm within individual countries and across borders.
