Other Info:
August 2015 update: I've found someone to donate to, so at this stage I'm not looking for another recipient. I may donate again in late 2015 or early 2016.
I'm a married 39 year old with a wonderful 9 year old son who makes me so happy that I'd like to help others experience the joy of having a child of their own.
I've passed all the fertility clinic tests and had a donor counselling session together with my wife who thinks it's lovely that I'm a donor. I've previously donated sperm for one couple through Fertility Plus in Auckland and I'd like to find another couple (either heterosexual or lesbian) to donate to through a clinic.
Both my wife and I are comfortable with me meeting or having occasional contact with any children. Or if you'd rather have no contact that's also fine.
I'm a quiet and reserved person, easy-going, optimistic, intelligent (was Dux of my school & have a Masters degree), never smoked, rarely drink, born in NZ, have English & Scottish ancestors, 179 cm tall, 68 kg, dark brown hair, blue eyes, and in good physical health.
I've had genetic testing which shows I'm not a carrier of any of the mutations tested for from 53 different genetic diseases. These are disorders that you can carry without any symptoms yourself but can pass on to your children if both parents are carriers of it. For example, 1 in 25 Caucasian people are cystic fibrosis carriers, but I don't carry any of the 26 most common cystic fibrosis mutations.
My level of sperm DNA damage (SCSA DFI) is quite low at 3.9%. Values of around 10% are normal but it can range from anywhere between 3% and 90%. Sperm DNA damage is generally higher the older you get and high levels can cause miscarriage.
I spend my spare time with my family, mostly doing things my son also enjoys such as bush walks, soccer, and playing board games together.
If you're interested, contact me with a bit of information about you and I'll share more details about myself, including photos.
