IVF with donor sperm in St. Petersburg

In Russia, both egg donation and sperm donation are allowed. That is, both women and men can donate their sex cells to help other people conceive a child. Male donors donate sperm samples, which are mandatorily cryopreserved and undergo a 6-month quarantine. Before use, the sperm is thawed, cleaned and prepared assisted reproductive technology (ART) programmes.

In which programmes can donor sperm be used?

Donor sperm is used in Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

On the day of the AI, the embryologist thaws the donor sperm, cleans and prepares it to maximise the concentration of viable sperm and then draws it into a special catheter. The AI is performed on a gynaecological chair and takes 10-15 minutes. The gynaecologist inserts a special catheter with prepared sperm into the woman's uterine cavity. Artificial insemination is carried out only if the patency of the fallopian tubes is preserved and there is no pathology of the uterine cavity. It is a good option for single women without gynaecological pathology.

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

IVF involves several stages, which include hormonal stimulation followed by follicle puncture, fertilisation of the obtained eggs with donor sperm, embryo culturing and embryo transfer into the uterine cavity.

In this case, fertilisation can be carried out in different ways:

Insemination fertilisation (IVF), where a sample of cleaned sperm is mixed with eggs in a special media.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection into the egg (IVF-ICSI), in which the sperm is "manually" injected into the egg under a microscope and with special instruments.

Russia also allows double donation: donor sperm can be used in IVF programmes with donor eggs.

The exact method of infertility treatment is always selected individually and only after a consultation and comprehensive examination.

Indications

The use of donor sperm is the only chance for single women to get pregnant. Donor sperm can also be used in the following cases:

Severe abnormalities in the spermogram, azoospermia;

Ineffectiveness of IVF or ICSI programmes with partner sperm;

The partner has genetic diseases that can be passed on to the baby;

The partner has an incurable sexually transmitted disease;

High risk of developing Rh conflict

Who can become a donor

The official requirements for sperm donors are quite simple: age from 18 to 35, absence of physical and mental illnesses, normal spermogram parameters and results of clinical and laboratory examination. Also, all donors must have a normal karyotype (chromosome set) and undergo a medical and genetic examination.

Managers at Delta Fertility use stricter criteria to select sperm donors. Special attention is paid to the fact that candidates have a harmonious appearance and body build. Also, some of our donors have healthy children of their own, although this is not an official requirement.

Donation can be anonymous or non-anonymous. Only anonymous donors are represented in our database.

Donor screening

A basic donor screening includes:

Examination by a urologist, general practitioner and geneticist.

Semen analysis

Karyotype

STDs and blood tests for infections

In our clinic, all sperm donors are screened for monogenic diseases.

In most cases, we carry out CGT Essential testing in Igenomix laboratory. This allows us to exclude candidates who are carriers of monogenic genetic mutations.

If the donor meets all the criteria, the sperm samples are frozen.

After that, she is quarantined for 6 months. Then the donor comes to the clinic once again and retakes tests for infections. Only then the semen can be used for IVF or IUI.

What information can I find out about donors?

Our website provides an open database of donors, which can be consulted by anyone. The profiles include:

Childhood photos

Age

Ethnicity

Height and weight

Eye colour

Hair colour

Blood type and Rh factor

It also indicates whether the donor has been tested for genetic diseases.

To use donor sperm, please contact the manager and book the material of the selected donor.

If necessary, an extended donor questionnaire can be requested from the manager.
