| An estimated ten percent of couples experience infertiliy
problems. Of those, up to 40% are due to cases of male
factor infertility. In many of these instances donor sperm
is the means by which pregnancy is achieved. For a number
of our patients artificial insemination utilizing donor
sperm is an appropriate option. In other instances donor
sperm is used in an In Vitro Fertilization cycle. In addition
to cases of male factor infertility, donor insemination
is used by single women and same sex couples.
SRM's Theraputic Donor Insemination (TDI) program was
established to streamline the process of utilizing donor
sperm while ensuring compliance with FDA guidelines.
Our caring, dedicated TDI team have helped many patients
acheived pregnancy using donor sperm.
See below for additional information on donor insemination
at SRM.
Success Rates
The success rate of TDI varies depending on patient
age. In general, the TDI pregnancy rate is around 10%
with each cycle. It is recommended that most patients
undergo at least 3-6 TDI cycles to give the treatment
an adequate opportunity to be successful, depending
on your medical situation.
Known Sperm Donors
Known sperm donors [i.e., who are known to the patient
but are not her intimate partner or an intended parent
of the resulting child(ren)] will be required to undergo
screening, sperm cryopreservation and quarantine for
at least 6 months at an established third-party sperm
bank before their samples may be used for insemination
at SRM. SRM is not a sperm bank.
