If you’re in a relationship with a man, you may not feel that you need to bank your sperm, as that person will be able to provide the sperm when you need it.
- However, there are still some reasons that you may want to bank your sperm.
- Although it may not be important to you now, you may one day decide that you would like to contribute genetically to your family. Having banked sperm makes it more likely that you will be able to do this.
- Your partner may not be able to provide sperm when it comes time. It’s hard to predict the future, and sometimes people who are planning to have kids are not able to. Having your sperm as back-up can make sure that you and your partner can complete your family in the way that you want.
- You and your partner may decide to go your separate ways, so it is good to have your sperm banked just in case.
- These conversations can be uncomfortable. You can always contact a couple’s counsellor if you want to have some guidance on these topics.
