Summary

Donor artificial insemination (AID) practices show increased frozen semen use and insemination of unmarried women. Despite changes, donor contributions per child remain stable, with an estimated 23,400 AID infants born annually.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Infertility Treatment
  • Semen Technology

Background:

  • Donor artificial insemination (AID) is a key infertility treatment.
  • Previous surveys established baseline practices in 1978.
  • Evolving medical recommendations and societal factors influence AID practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess current donor artificial insemination (AID) practices in the United States.
  • To identify trends and changes since the 1978 survey.
  • To estimate the number of infants born via AID.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 360 practitioners performing AID.
  • An additional 100 practices from a 1978 survey were re-queried.
  • Data from 167 active AID practices were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in the use of frozen semen was observed.
  • More practitioners inseminated unmarried women compared to previous surveys.
  • The average number of children fathered per donor decreased, though maximum pregnancies per donor remained constant.
  • An estimated 23,400 infants resulted from AID in the survey year.

Conclusions:

  • AID practices have evolved, with greater reliance on frozen semen and broader patient populations.
  • Federal recommendations for cryopreserved, quarantined semen are expected to further shape future practices.
  • The study provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary donor insemination trends.
