Desperate couples are turning to Facebook to find sperm donors after the Covid-19 pandemic left fertility clinic stocks depleted and delayed IVF treatment.
One British donor claims he s received dozens requests in the past year - and while he donates his samples for free, he says other men are charging fees of up to £200, which is illegal.
Others request to donate their sperm naturally - via sexual intercourse.

One in six people have fertility issues and while most IVF clinics have continued to stay open during this lockdown the impact of the pandemic is still affecting many people s fertility journeys. Access to NHS services can be a postcode lottery resulting in people travelling abroad for treatment- a route that hasn t been possible with travel restrictions.
Natalie Harris from Southport has had five miscarriages in seven years and can no longer conceive naturally. Unsuccessful IVF on the NHS means Natalie and husband Matt s only option now is to pay privately. They had been planning to go abroad for treatment but the pandemic put those plans on pause and they feel powerless. Foreign Office guidance advises British nationals against all but essential international travel.
