Access to Sperm Donation for Female Couples and Unmarried Women

Completed

• Conditions: Pregnancy Related
• Interventions: Other: Questionnaire

• Registration Number: NCT05552560
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse

Brief Summary

The Bioethics Law of August 2, 2021 now authorizes, in addition to heterosexual couples, access to sperm donation for female couples and unmarried women.

According to the Ministry of Health, since the opening of sperm donation to these new populations, requests at the national level (7000 during the first 6 months) have greatly exceeded the predicted figures (3000 per year). Welcoming this new patient population requires us, health professionals, to know it well. Indeed, to date, there is no reliable assessment in France of the life course, particularly reproductive, nor of the socio-demographic characteristics, nor of the psychological well-being of these patients.

This study via a pseudonymised questionnaire aims to fill this lack of information in order to help professionals build relevant care pathways.
