Donor Insemination
Donor Insemination (DI) is a fertility procedure in which frozen donor sperm is thawed and inserted into a person’s uterus directly around the time of ovulation, in order to achieve a pregnancy.
The donor sperm can be obtained from a known person or from a clinic-recruited one (unknown donor).
Single Lesbians or couples who are considering DI will have to determine which type of sperm donor is right for them. For more information visit our Donor Program page.
When the male partner has low sperm count or his sperm is of low quality, they need some other man who is willing to donate sperm which will fertilize with egg of the female partner to form an embryo.
Donated sperm is accepted to couple where there is no possibility of retrieving sperm naturally or by surgical procedure fro a man. The donor sperms are used to either inseminate the woman (IUI) or to fertilize her egg for ICSI procedure.
Female partner is given madication to develop an Egg.
Once the egg is developed adequately HCG injection is given for final maturation.
36 hrs. after HCG injection, proccesed donor semen sample is injected into the uterus.
Further process of achieveing pregnancy occurs naturally.
