Donor Sperm

Many individuals who may not have otherwise been able to conceive due to male infertility or lack of a male partner are able to achieve their dream of becoming a parent via donor sperm insemination.

At Boston IVF, we are highly experienced in donor insemination cases. We routinely provide individuals and couples with open access to all fertility treatments, regardless of sexual orientation.

OUR DONOR SPERM PROGRAM

Our IVF locations in Albany, Rochester, and Syracuse are part of a national Boston IVF network that has assisted in over 150,000 babies since 1986. Since then, we have successfully performed and treated thousands of donor sperm cases and remain at the forefront of third-party reproduction in Central NY and the USA.

Our program offers close partnerships with several of the largest, award-winning online sperm cryobanks to help you choose an appropriate donor.

Be sure to speak with our fertility experts in Albany, Rochester, or Syracuse to learn more about accessing our sperm donor resources.

DONOR SPERM PROCESS

Donor sperm can be used with IVF or IUI. The most common and first fertility option is intrauterine insemination (IUI). If sperm quality is lower, the amount of sperm available is limited, or an IUI was not successful, then the donor sperm can also be used with IVF.

If you are using a sperm donor with IVF, you will still receive fertility medications to prepare your eggs for retrieval. Once retrieved, your eggs will be combined with the donor sperm and your resulting embryos will then be transferred back to your uterus for implantation.
