So nervous
If any work is not big or small
The sane way "No work is a Taboo also
With that being sad
Let me show you my journey of becoming a sperm donor
I am a sperm donor
There's no investment
Just profits
Exactly one week ago
I went to a website of a sperm donation bank
I didn't thought that a Bank in the US
who donates sperm to all european countries
Why will they accept an Indian sperm
but my application luckily got approved
Now you'll ask why sperm donation
Because many people will say that
Why I need to a third Job
SOme people can call it moonlighting also
Some people can call it that
becoming greedy
Why sperm donation?
Before that I want to remind you of my student days
When i was a student
I barely used to make enough
I used to earn $600/month
$300-400 were expenses and zero savings
At that time
Mnay friends of mine who were students
They used to donate their blood/plasma and earn $75 to $200
And apart from that
Then It reminded me of Vicky Donor that
We can do this also
But during my student days
I was afraid to take permission
I want to make babies without marriage
I want to have permission from my signinficant other
Without asking, You can spoil your personal life in future
So thats why I wanted to take permission
Anyway many students are able to donate sperm without that
The Bank in which I went
I will show you bank also
There many students from Georgia State University
Georgia tech
are donating there since long
They make a lot of money
Will give you the details later
But right now I wanted to donate sperm becasue
to help others and to help families in US and all over the world
That they're also to able to live a normal life
And there's a shortage of sperm donors right now
So with that being said friends
Lets go to a Bank near me
Sperm donation Bank
And let me show you the process
So the first day I went to donate my sperm
Before that there was a medical exam
I needed to fill a medical form
In which my family till 2nd generation
I had to give all the details
If there was any health problem in my 1sr generation
Like diabetes, heart attack etc.
I had to reveal all of them
From both my mom's side and my dad's side
till 2nd generation
I filled all the information
Filled all the form
After filling the form, I got an approval
I go for appointment
Just after going for appointment
They welcome me with much love
They offer me water, Juice & Chocolates anything
And they try to make me relax
And after that finally doctor's appointment
In which they tell
They will test my urine
They will test my blood
They will do my psychological and psychiatry test also
I will be having regular appointments
So that they can see I am normal
Andf they will do everything for free
And they will pay also
You guess how much they'll pay
I cannot reveal the exact numbers
because every bank keeps some things private
And I have signed the NDA
But the money is pretty good
based on per time you donate your sperm
Depends on count
When you donate your sperm
I don't know much medical but
Basically the first thing they check is Sperm's motility
that it should have movement
I think I said it right
And 2nd thing is that Soerm count should be enough
So thy put in small plastic testubes
that if you'll give 2-3 of that
then you'll get $150-200
If you'll give two tubes
then $100
And if less than that then $75
So per time its this and every month there's bonus also
So in short, To all the students I spoke
They're able to make $1000-$1200/month
With the process of sperm donation
It looks amazing right
But it has cons also
Then I directly go inside a room
There's a TV, same like in Vicky donor movie
They told me either take wifi password and watch on your laptop
or watch anything sort of porn on their TV
So you can see that
And I was so nervous
I was extremely nervous
I was like "What am I doing and Why I am doing it
Even though my goal was not about money
I told them not to give me money but just
let me experience the Job
I want to help others
No matter how many families
Let it be Indian or anyone from worldwide
I want to help them and see
what they're looking for
What are the terms and conditions
I can after getting the approval
or
When I go to donate first time
I was so nervous
It took me half hour to control my nervousness and keep myself calm
Inbetween I gave up and said I can't do this
Same like Vicky Donor movie
Just like Vicky I gave up in between
I said I can't do it
They said Don't worry
They again calmed me down
They again said, Eat this chocolate, whichever is your favourite
Then again I went in
They didn't forced me
I still went there and at the end of the day
For the first time I gave my sperm for analyzation
So from here first pack finishes
And most importantly in doctors appointment training
They tell you that there is shortage of sperm donation
They try to make you feel better
that you're doing something good only
It's not bad
You're helping families
And right now 1.5% of the Kids
Born worldwide are born through sperm donation
Every year 30000-60000 kids are born via sperm donation
And these talks are factually correct
which are making this industry big as well
and there are cons of every job as well
In starting, The first time you'll donate
You'll enjoy it
Like you got some interesting hobby
But second time you'll realize
Its biggest con is that
After the age of 18
The child who is born with your sperm
They can actually reach out to you
They have right to reveal your identity to the kid
For that I had no issue
because they say you don't have to give parental support
No need to spend anything
But that kid should have information about his father
In starting they keep it private
that this person is lets say
Lets say they'll make a profile of me and say that I am Alexandra
and this is my profile, height 5'8
telling all this
they'll show to the parents
but after when child will turn 18
Then they can tell my real name to the kid
And this maybe not acceptable to mnay people
And thats why they do not become sperm donors
Now lets talk some facts
You'll think that harnoor is saying that lets jerk off and make money
No, Its not as simple as that
Don't make it a joke
This is actually a helpful profession
Its not a job
On this you cannot comment
whether its legal or no Its a part time Job
But its a great way , People are able to pay their rent sometimes
or I'll tell you one more thing
that it has cons also
Lets talk about some facts now
Firstly if you're in Australia or Canada
There you don't get paid to donate sperms
There if you're donating
You're doing it from the kindness of your heart
and the same thing I am telling you for US
Even though they pay $1000-$1200
but the goal in your mind if you want to do is
From the kindness of your heart
And no.2 thing is
That every year, Like I told you
30k-60k kids are born through sperm donation
And in the last few years, 1.5% kids are born with this process
But the biggest problem of this is
because of which my mind told me to deny the process
Even though I was medically approved
That reason is 6-12 months contract
So you have to sign this contract
There are many banks, Some say 6 months and some say 12 months
On top of that, They say you have to come 3-4 Times/Month
You can come anytime and do your stuff
You don't have to take an appointment
But the problem is
You have to do it continously for 6 months
Some times you can have assignments
sometimes you can have projects
Sometimes you
Sometimes you may have to travel
So for that reasons 6 months was a lot
Huge number for me
So I thought of getting out before getting into the contract
PLus the biggest con for me was
That if you leave it before 6 months
You quit the contract
That means
That actually means
that you'll have to pay
because company pays for your health
like your vitamins
Your SCDs They keep track of it for 6 months
After 6 months you have to go through a blood test
After that they ship out your sperm
Thats why you can't back off before six months
And some other banks will say that
Lets do 3 months
and after 6 months do one blood test
SOme people negotiate like this too
Definitely possible
But because of this reason
I had to quit
Some of my friends whose
families have so much history of Diabetes and Heart attack
They got rejected too
because they don't want people with heart condition of diabetes
to be donated
because these things can happen to the next offspring also
And biggest thing
If you're doing from the kindness of your heart
So always remember
Not every sperm goes towards kids
Even thought he max no. of kids that you can give birth through this is 60
So that so many kids don't get produced from your sperm
So max is 60-70
They told me and
apart from this
If you reach out 70
and you still want to donate then what they do is
The extra test tubes
They give it to universities
In universities they want to study sperm for their classes
who are studying reproduction
So what do you think about
this kindness of your heart
Its not a Job Its not a way to make money
In majority of countries People do it for free
What do you thnk about it
Would you do it or no
Let me know in the comments below
but who are in US
Maybe if legally
After speaking to your lawyer if you can do it your F1 visa
They maybe you could do legally
So let me what you think in the comments below
