For those who are seeking sperm or egg donation. It is advisable that you also bring someone to the appointment.
We strive to get you seen in a timely manner. However, this process requires diligence as there are lots of tests and investigations. Please be prepared for this and explain to your employers that you will require some time off at the initial stages to allow you to attend for investigations.
