How program is carried out
During the first visit, the physician will conduct a clinical examination and go through the results of previous laboratory tests and instrumental examinations. After that, you will undergo an additional examination, including complete blood count, laboratory assessment of liver and kidney function, hormonal tests. Based on the results of the examinations, the physician will make sure that there are no contraindications to hormonal stimulation and subsequent intrauterine (artificial) insemination with donor sperm.
Intrauterine (artificial) insemination with donor sperm is carried out as the day hospital procedure, without mandatory admission to the hospital. Cryopreserved sperm is used for it. Donor sperm undergoes obligatory quality control and infection control.
After hormonal stimulation of ovulation, you will have an ultrasound scan with folliculometry. With its help the physician will make sure that you have a fully-grown egg that is eligible for fertilization. Donor sperm is introduced into the uterine cavity through a thin catheter. The procedure is painless, but the physician can use a local anesthetic, if needed.
After the insemination, you will need to remain in the supine position for about 30-40 minutes.
After the completion of intrauterine (artificial) insemination with donor sperm, you will receive the medical report with detailed recommendations regarding further follow-up. You can leave the hospital on the day of your procedure. In the future, you can contact the physician for accompanying the pregnancy.
