女同性戀單身和情侶的常見問題

我們需要使用精子捐贈者。我們如何購買精子？

愛達荷生殖醫學中心與多家精子庫合作。一旦您選擇了您有興趣使用的匿名捐贈者，冷凍樣本將被運送到我們的診所並儲存以備將來使用。我們建議從銀行購買 IUI（宮內人工授精）樣本。

IUI 和 ICI 冷凍精子有什麼區別？

ICI 冷凍精子只經過了非常有限的處理，仍然含有蛋白質和其他化合物，在用於宮內人工授精之前需要將其去除。因此，在使用樣品進行授精之前，我們的實驗室需要對運送的樣品進行進一步處理。在處理 ICI 精子樣本期間，與預處理樣本相比，計數減少是很常見的。 IUI 冷凍精子已在精子庫完全處理，不需要在我們的實驗室進一步處理。

如果我們認識一個想成為精子捐獻者的人怎麼辦？

我們很樂意幫助您與已知的精子捐贈者合作，但是該過程比與匿名捐贈者合作需要更多的時間。在使用已知捐贈者之前，捐贈者需要完成個人/家族病史，進行 FDA 要求的體檢，可能進行基因檢測，接受 FDA 要求的傳染病檢測，並進行正式的精液分析以做出確保它們的數量足以用於受精。然後將樣本隔離 6 個月，此後，已知的精子捐獻者在釋放精子樣本之前需要接受重複的傳染病檢測。

宮內人工授精和體外受精有什麼區別？

宮內人工授精 (IUI) 涉及使用小導管將準備好的精子樣本放入子宮。 IUI 通常是對具有功能性輸卵管的女性進行生育治療的初始步驟之一。體外受精 (IVF) 是一個更複雜的過程，但通常具有更高的成功率。有關試管嬰兒的更多信息，請點擊以下鏈接我們的試管嬰兒信息頁面。

如果我們有更多問題，應該聯繫誰？

希望與孩子建立生物學聯繫的女同性戀夫婦可以選擇使用一方的卵子與供體精子受精，然後將胚胎轉移到子宮進行植入。 ICRM 已經做了很多這樣的循環。要了解有關此過程的更多信息，請聯繫我們的辦公室以安排與我們的一位醫生的約會。

Can We Use a Known Sperm Donor?

How Does Reciprocal IVF Work for Lesbian Couples?

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.

What Is the Difference Between IUI and IVF?

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.

What Is the Difference Between IUI and ICI Frozen Sperm?

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) sperm is fully processed for direct insemination, while ICI (Intracervical Insemination) sperm requires additional processing.
