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.

Interventions

OTHERQuestionnaire

A questionnaire is offered to patients who meet the eligibility criteria and who have given their non-objection before the first consultation with the centre's psychologist. This questionnaire includes questions on the socio-demographic characteristics, the motivations, as well as the procreative history of the patients.
