What is Donor Sperm?
Donor sperm is sperm obtained from a screened and anonymous or known sperm donor, used to achieve pregnancy when a patient's partner is unable to provide sperm, or when a single woman or same-sex couple is pursuing parenthood. Donor sperm is available through accredited sperm banks that maintain rigorous standards for donor screening, genetic testing, and infectious disease testing.
At Southwest Fertility Center, we support all patients who choose to use donor sperm and can guide you through the process of selecting a sperm bank, choosing a donor, and determining the most appropriate treatment option for your situation.
Who Uses Donor Sperm?
- Single women pursuing pregnancy without a male partner
- Same-sex female couples building their family
- Couples in which the male partner has no sperm (azoospermia) or severely compromised sperm quality that cannot be treated
How is Donor Sperm Used?
Donor sperm can be used in conjunction with several fertility treatments, depending on the patient's individual situation:
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI is the most common method of using donor sperm. Prepared donor sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. IUI can be performed in a natural cycle or combined with ovulation induction medications.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF with donor sperm may be recommended when IUI has not been successful, when the patient has other fertility factors that require IVF, or when the patient wishes to pursue genetic testing of embryos prior to transfer.
Selecting a Sperm Donor
Donor sperm is obtained from FDA-regulated sperm banks that screen all donors for infectious diseases, chromosomal abnormalities, and hereditary genetic conditions. Patients may select donors based on physical characteristics, ethnic background, education, and other personal preferences. Our team can provide guidance on reputable sperm banks and assist with the ordering and storage process.
How Much Does Donor Sperm Treatment Cost in Phoenix, Arizona?
The cost of treatment with donor sperm includes the cost of the sperm itself, purchased through a sperm bank, as well as the cost of the fertility treatment (IUI or IVF).
