The number of women using donated sperm to get pregnant is rising, but many find the cost of treatment at private clinics prohibitive. This has led some women to use unlicensed donors - but are they putting their health at risk?

Victoria Derbyshire reporter Natalie Morton met Simon Watson, 41, who has been an unlicensed sperm donor for 16 years, donating once a week.

"Usually one [baby] a week pops out. I reckon I've got about 800 so far, so within four years I'd like to crack 1,000," he said.

Mr Watson charges 拢50 for his services and is tested for STDs every three months, posting his hospital certificate online.

Critics say while it is not illegal, using unregulated donors puts women at risk of sexual diseases, hereditary disorders and men interested in "no strings" unprotected sex.
