Accessing Donor Semen from Denmark

Hello babybelly people,

Has anyone had experience using the European Sperm Bank in Australia? We are 2 girlse who have found a donor we would like to use from Denmark and it seems we have to jump through quite a few hoops in Melbourne to use him.

We're thinking of going to Canberra (to get around the Victorian legal issues) if they will accept the import of this semen - there does not seem to be a lot of information out there though. So my question here is:

1 - Has anyone had experience using donor semen from Denmark?

2 - Has anyone here had experience in importing semen to an Australian clinic and if so can you please (pretty please) give me a heads up as to what is involved? (I have a feeling this question will already be answered in these threads and will be looking through them tonight when I have some time)

Any help is very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Kat

sorry, cant help you there but good luck!

Hi :)

Vic has just changed their laws, if you havent heard :) So no need to trundle off to Canberra now :D

I'd suggest looking on the clinic's website for their donor sperm programs, most clinics have a fair amount of info available. Because of the shortage of Australian donors a lot do import from overseas. You'll have to ask the clinics their policies, as they can vary a lot. Sorry that I can't help, we used an Australian sperm donor, but good luck :)
