Donor Semen Insemination

Donor Semen Insemination (also called Therapeutic Donor Insemination – TDI) is a modern fertility treatment where donor sperm is used to help individuals or couples achieve pregnancy. This can be done through IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). It is ideal for cases of male infertility, genetic concerns, or when no male partner is involved.

Who Can Benefit?

This program is suitable for:

Men with severe male infertility (low sperm count, poor motility, or azoospermia)

Men carrying genetic conditions they do not wish to pass on

Single women or women in same-sex relationship

Men with ejaculatory problems or other medical issues affecting sperm

Couples with previous failed ICSI or IVF cycles due to poor sperm quality

How the Donor Semen Process Works

1. Donor Selection

Donors are healthy men aged 21-55

Complete medical, genetic, and infectious disease screening is performed

Recipients can choose an anonymous or known donor based on traits, ethnicity, and medical history

2. Sperm Freezing & Quarantine

Donor sperm is collected, processed, and cryopreserved

A 6-month quarantine ensures safety and rules out infectious diseases

3. Fertility Treatment Options

IUI: Processed donor sperm is inserted directly into the uterus during ovulation

IVF: Donor sperm fertilizes eggs in the lab, and embryos are transferred to the uterus

4. Pregnancy Test & Follow-Up

A blood test (Beta hCG) is done 10–14 days after insemination

If positive, the pregnancy is monitored like a natural one with regular checkups

Success Rates

IUI with donor sperm: 15–25% per cycle, increasing with multiple attempts

IVF with donor sperm: 50–70% per cycle, depending on egg quality

Benefits of Donor Semen Insemination

✅ Simple & Non-Invasive: IUI is quick, safe, and nearly painless

✅ Higher Pregnancy Success: Particularly for severe male infertility cases

✅ Healthy & Screened Sperm: Donors undergo thorough medical and genetic testing

✅ Flexible Treatment: Donor sperm can also be used in IVF or ICSI

✅ Safe & Regulated: Legal and ethical guidelines ensure safety for both parents and child

Emotional & Legal Considerations

Counseling is recommended to address emotional aspects

Some may find it challenging that there is no genetic link from the male partner

Legal rules regarding donor anonymity and parental rights vary by country
