Conceive with Artificial Insemination

netty and sad · Jan 12th, 2009, 09:15 AM

Hi
i thought i would get this dicussion going as i have not found one that touches on some of the sencitive issues of artificial insemination or AI if you preffer.

me and my partner are trying to concieve through AI at the moment and after researching hundreds of sites i have many answer but also some still not answered.

maybe i could help others at the same time as answering a few of my own questions.

speak soon

My husband always produces his sample at the office. The thought of transporting stresses me out. So, we just do it at the office. We go in, he produces the sample, we go get coffee and come back for the IUI an hour later. It seems to work out well.

Different doctors have different theories though on how long you can have the sperm to transport. I would specifically ask your doctor if you are wanting to produce the sample at home and take it into the doctor.

hi we are having a private donor as we are a lesbian couple and intend to have it as personal as poss the sperm should be AI within 90 min as it can only live outside the body for that long. i have now been told by a expert to collect the fresh sperm and draw it into the syringes straight away before my journy home to AI my partner.

Are you doing an at home insemination? Where are you getting the sperm?

I know I have to answer your PM vineyard.

They already said they are having a private donor.

Nettyandsade - as I understand it, what you can do is freeze and then defreeze and use but if you want to use fresh sperm -and I can't agree any more, it is the type with the best results- then time is indeedof the essence from what I read. Maybe you can arrange for your donor to well... spend the night at your place or if he's the less romantic type, simply visit and use the bathroom.

27 mins sounds good enough, still far better odds than with frozen.

Not sure I understand the technicality with the donor, is this private but not a friend as I presumed but so to speak... unregistered? In that case have you had the donor tested and the sperm tested as well? And what are your thoughts on the potential siblings related problems down the road?
