Hi Taytay. Not an easy one to answer I'm afraid. Some clinics have sperm stored, others have to wait. Game of patience I'm afraid. Keep in touch with the clinic to see how much longer you have to wait. Hope all goes well for you both when the day comes. Diane

We did IUI with donor sperm.

Are you on the NHS waiting list for sperm?

I’m not sure how long that takes as we bought ours, there’s no waiting list for that. Hope you move up the list soon 🤞 x

Hi.

Yes we are on the nhs list. We were told a year and then a week later told 18 months as there is a national shortage and it would be that even if we paid for it. Thank you hope your journey is going well x

If you pay direct to the sperm bank, it's pretty quick (4weeks I think). It's not cheap though £950 a pop.
