Couples using Donor Sperm Patients Suitable for Treatment Male factor problems account for 30 -40% of couples presenting with infertility. This may be due to a total of absence of sperm in the ejaculate, or to low numbers and/or poor quality of sperm. The first treatment stage is a full investigation of the male partner and we do everything possible to make treatment with the male partner's sperm possible. These steps include the use of advanced sperm recovery techniques which are successful in many cases and enable the use of IVF treatment with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). There is, sometimes, no medical or surgical treatment for these conditions and, if no sperm can be provided by the male partner, one way of achieving pregnancy is by insemination of the female partner with donor sperm. The decision to go ahead with Donor Insemination (DI) treatment is often a difficult one for the couples involved. There are many medical, ethical, religious and legal aspects that need to be considered. Patients require thorough counselling to discuss the implications of DI and any reservations they may have about the treatment. Bridge supports prospective DI patients in every way possible and we will do all we humanly can to make you feel comfortable with your decision and confident about the future. As the number of babies available for adoption is limited, DI often offers the only chance of becoming a family and we welcome new Bridge babies born as a result of IUI / DI on a regular basis. |
