IVF with donor sperm
IVF with donor sperm is an assisted reproductive technology in which egg fertilization occurs in vitro (outside the woman’s body) using sperm from a healthy donor who is not in a relationship with the patient.
What happens after fertilization: embryologists place the resulting embryo in an incubator, where they monitor its development for 2-5 days. After that, the blastocyst is transferred to the uterus. It is attached to the wall for further development.
The probability of successful fertilization with donor sperm reaches 70%.
Benefits of IVF with donor sperm
The use of genetic material from exclusively healthy men, which is important in the event of incompatibility with a partner or his poor health.
The procedure does not require anesthesia and is performed quickly - the transfer is carried out in a couple of minutes.
The most genetically potential blastocyst is implanted into the uterus.
The opportunity to become parents of a healthy child for people with infertility and genetic and venereal diseases in the husband.
High probability of pregnancy with a viable fetus.
Donor selection and sperm quality control
To donate ejaculate, a donor should undergo the following examinations:
- Determination of the Rh factor and blood type of a man.
- Blood test for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis.
- Testing for infections: herpes, chlamydia, cytomegalovirus, mycoplasmosis.
- Medical genetic examination is a one-time procedure.
- Examination by a therapist and urologist - annually.
When choosing a donor sperm, a woman receives information about the donor’s health and appearance. She is provided with information about her husband’s activities and education. An autobiographical story of the donor (in writing), his or her hobbies, etc. helps to better understand the personality of the person.
In addition, there are a number of requirements:
- Age over 18 and no more than 40 years – established by legal acts;
- Psychological and physical health;
- Correct facial features, body structure.

Partner's azoospermia - no sperm in the ejaculate.
For IVF with biomaterial from a third party, the husband’s consent is required.
