Summary
Artificial insemination with donor semen (AID) is an effective fertility treatment. Success rates indicate good outcomes within six to twelve months of treatment for many patients.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Infertility Treatments
- Semen Cryopreservation
Background:
- Donor sperm insemination is a common assisted reproductive technology.
- Semen quality and cryopreservation methods are crucial for successful outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the outcomes of artificial insemination with donor semen (AID).
- To evaluate conception rates and pregnancy complications in patients undergoing AID.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 1610 treatment cycles across 214 patients undergoing AID.
- Semen samples stored in liquid nitrogen prior to use.
- Life table analysis to determine conception rates over time.
Main Results:
- 82 pregnancies resulted from 214 patients and 1610 cycles.
- Life table conception rates were 24.3% at 6 months and 32.7% at 12 months.
- 12 miscarriages occurred; no stillbirths or neonatal deaths; one congenital abnormality.
Conclusions:
- Artificial insemination with donor semen demonstrates a viable treatment option for infertility.
- The study highlights acceptable conception rates and a low incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
