Is IVF with donor sperm right for me?
IVF with donor sperm is used in the following situations:
- The male partner has azoospermia (absence of sperm) or severe oligozoospermia (severely decreased sperm count) as result of acquired (for example, cancer therapy, surgery, accident, hormone therapy) or inherited conditions.
- The male partner is unable to ejaculate.
- The male partner has a underlying genetic (chromosomal) condition.
- The male partner has an untreatable sexually transmissible infection.
- Repeated unexplained failures to fertilise the eggs by ICSI.
- Single woman or same-sex female couple wishing to conceive.
How does IVF with donor sperm work with NOW-fertility?
- You’ll first of all have a consultation with your consultant, followed by a consultation with your nurse to complete your characteristics profile form, screening tests and consent forms so that you can start treatment.
- Your NOW-fertility team will match a donor for you through a sperm donation programme at your chosen clinic. Alternatively donor sperm may be purchased from a licensed sperm bank and shipped to your chosen clinic before your treatment begins.
- We’ll also arrange for you a consultation with one of our qualified and certified counsellors who will help you to better understand the broader implications of treatment with donated sperm and to make informed decisions.
- Once a donor is chosen and agreed upon, you’ll have another consultation with your consultant to discuss your personal treatment plan.
- You are then ready to start the hormone treatment to stimulate your ovaries. The response to treatment will be assessed by ultrasound scans which can be arranged close to your home or work. You will travel to your chosen clinic when you are ready to for your egg collection.
- When you attend the clinic, your eggs will be harvested and fertilised in the laboratory with the donated sperm. Fertilised eggs are usually cultured as embryos for five to six days until they reach the blastocyst stage.
- Created embryos will either be transferred in a fresh embryo cycle or frozen to be used later in a frozen thawed embryo transfer cycle.
