What it is, how it works, and who it is for.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) with donor sperm is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment in which the patient's eggs (or those of a donor, if necessary) are fertilized in the laboratory with sperm from a donor bank.
The resulting embryo is then transferred to the woman's uterus to achieve pregnancy.
This treatment is safe and has high success rates, as the donated sperm comes from young, healthy men who have undergone thorough medical checkups.
This treatment is indicated in:
The woman receives mild hormonal treatment to develop multiple eggs in the same cycle.
Egg retrieval using an outpatient technique and under sedation.
The eggs are fertilized with sperm from a selected donor.
The embryos develop for several days in state-of-the-art incubators.
A good quality embryo is placed in the woman's uterus. It is a simple and painless procedure.
A blood test is performed 10-12 days later to confirm the pregnancy.
Sperm donors undergo a rigorous selection process that includes:
The donor is assigned anonymously, ensuring the maximum phenotypic and blood group similarity with the patient or couple.
Yes. In Spain, the law guarantees the anonymity of the donor and the confidentiality of the process.
The medical team selects the donor who most closely resembles the patient or couple physically, and is compatible in blood type.
No. In some cases, artificial insemination with a donor (AID) can be performed. The choice depends on the patient's age, ovarian reserve, and medical history.
Success rates are high, especially in young women, as donors are selected for their excellent semen quality.
Yes, untransferred embryos can be frozen for future attempts.
