The term artificial insemination donor is the placement
of frozen thawed donor sperm in the female reproductive tract. A straw
of the matched donor sperm is thawed and rechecked under the microscope
to see that the sperm are actively motile before being used. Sperm may
be placed in the vagina (vaginal insemination), cervix (intracervical
insemination), cavity of the womb (intrauterine
insemination) or inside the pelvis near the tubes and ovaries (Intraperitoneal
insemination).
The husband or male partner is encouraged to be present
at the time of insemination.
