If you’re a single guy alone, identifying the person responsible for supplying the sperm is pretty straightforward — that would be you. If you have a male partner, this question becomes a bit more complicated. Does one of you already have children? Does one of you have better sperm than the other? Is one of you more invested in the whole idea of having kids? Talking through these issues to make a decision can take time, so don’t rush it. You can also mix your sperm together and let nature make the decision.

Sperm donation is simple and not very time consuming. Some centers let you donate ahead and have sperm on ice waiting for the day it’s needed. Others let you collect the sperm at home, as long as you can bring it to the center within a reasonable time frame. The center will concentrate the sperm and optimize it for fertilization.
