DONOR SPERM, ALSO DONOR INSEMINATION (DI)

For couples who are diagnosed as being unable to conceive without it, using donor sperm can be a relatively straightforward medical and social decision.
Who Needs It?
Couples where the man…
> has no sperm and there is no effective medical or surgical treatment possible > has an hereditary condition that has a high chance of being passed on to his children
> has sperm with severe impairment of sperm number, motility or quality
Single women who…
> have been diagnosed with clinical infertility (as determined by the Medical Director)
What is the success rate for conception?
20% following every cycle of DI.

Our clinic’s success rates are slightly higher than this.

DI may be the simplest and most successful ART option for many infertile couples. We limit DI to 2 cycles because of low availability of donor sperm. We then offer couples IVF treatment. The woman is required to undergo a test to confirm that the fallopian tubes are open prior to having DI.
