女同性恋单身和情侣的常见问题

我们需要使用精子捐赠者。我们如何购买精子?

爱达荷生殖医学中心与多家精子库合作。一旦您选择了您有兴趣使用的匿名捐赠者,冷冻样本将被运送到我们的诊所并储存以备将来使用。我们建议从银行购买 IUI(宫内人工授精)样本。

IUI 和 ICI 冷冻精子有什么区别?

ICI 冷冻精子只经过了非常有限的处理,仍然含有蛋白质和其他化合物,在用于宫内人工授精之前需要将其去除。因此,在使用样品进行授精之前,我们的实验室需要对运送的样品进行进一步处理。在处理 ICI 精子样本期间,与预处理样本相比,计数减少是很常见的。 IUI 冷冻精子已在精子库完全处理,不需要在我们的实验室进一步处理。

如果我们认识一个想成为精子捐献者的人怎么办?

我们很乐意帮助您与已知的精子捐赠者合作,但是该过程比与匿名捐赠者合作需要更多的时间。在使用已知捐赠者之前,捐赠者需要完成个人/家族病史,进行 FDA 要求的体检,可能进行基因检测,接受 FDA 要求的传染病检测,并进行正式的精液分析以做出确保它们的数量足以用于受精。然后将样本隔离 6 个月,此后,已知的精子捐献者在释放精子样本之前需要接受重复的传染病检测。

宫内人工授精和体外受精有什么区别?

宫内人工授精 (IUI) 涉及使用小导管将准备好的精子样本放入子宫。 IUI 通常是对具有功能性输卵管的女性进行生育治疗的初始步骤之一。体外受精 (IVF) 是一个更复杂的过程,但通常具有更高的成功率。有关试管婴儿的更多信息,请点击以下链接 我们的试管婴儿信息页面。

如果我们有更多问题,应该联系谁?

希望与孩子建立生物学联系的女同性恋夫妇可以选择使用一方的卵子与供体精子受精,然后将胚胎转移到子宫进行植入。 ICRM 已经做了很多这样的循环。要了解有关此过程的更多信息,请联系我们的办公室以安排与我们的一位医生的约会。

How Do We Purchase Sperm from a Donor?

We partner with several reputable sperm banks. You can select your donor, and samples will be shipped and stored at ICRM for your future use. Explore your options for collaborating with our trusted partner sperm banks to find a sperm donor.

Absolutely! We facilitate the use of known sperm donors, managing medical histories, screening, and any necessary quarantine protocols.
In reciprocal IVF, also called “partner egg sharing,” one partner’s egg is fertilized, and the resulting embryo is implanted into the other partner’s uterus, fostering shared biological connections.
IUI places sperm directly into the uterus and is less invasive, whereas IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) involves fertilizing eggs in a lab, typically yielding higher success rates. Learn more in our article: IVF vs IUI: What to Know About Each Fertility Treatment Process.
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) sperm is fully processed for direct insemination, while ICI (Intracervical Insemination) sperm requires additional processing.
