Donor sperm
In this procedure sperm from another male one individual is donated to fertilize the harvested or retrieved eggs of the woman recipient. The resulting embryos are placed in the recipient’s uterus. The most common reasons for using donor sperm are that the recipient’s partner may be infertile or he may carry a genetic disease.
Sperm quality/type of specimen
About 25% of all infertility is caused by a sperm defect and 40 to 50% of infertility cases have a sperm defect as the main cause or a contributing cause. Sperm counts may or may not be indicative of a male fertility issue. Typically a semen analysis will be performed on the male, which includes sperm count, motility (sperm’s ability to swim and move quickly), shape and maturity of the sperm cells, volume of semen, pH balance, clumping (potential autoimmunity issues), and white and red blood cell count (potential infections).
Donor egg
In this procedure eggs are obtained from the ovaries of another woman (donor), fertilized by the sperm from the recipient’s partner, and the resulting embryos are placed in the recipient’s uterus. Older women and women who experience premature menopause are candidates for egg donation.
To help egg donors understand the egg donation/harvesting process, teaching visits are conducted by one of our trained nursing personnel to brief egg donors.
