IVF WITH DONOR SPERM

IVF WITH DONOR SPERM

IVF WITH SPERM DONATION INVOLVES USING THE SPERM CELLS OF A DONOR, RATHER THAN OF A MALE PARTNER, TO FERTILISE A WOMAN’S EGGS IN OUR LABORATORY

Sperm donation is required for the following:

• When the quality of the male partner’s sperm is insufficient to inseminate the egg.
• For same sex couples and single women. Although artificial insemination is usually the treatment of choice for single women, for same-sex couples donor sperm IVF is a more common choice by means of reciprocal IVF. This means one partner donates the egg, and the other carries the pregnancy.
• In the event cancer treatment has left a man infertile.
• For hereditary diseases: In such cases using donor sperm is advisable to avoid transmission to the child.
• In cases of zero sperm count or very low sperm concentration.
  In cases of very low sperm motility.
