What is Donor Insemination?
by Lori Ramsey

Definition

Donor insemination is when donated sperm is implanted into a woman in order for pregnancy to be achieved.

Candidates

Women whose husband/partners suffer from male factor infertility or single women whose desire is to get pregnant.

Procedure

Once a donor has been found and screened properly the sperm specimen is frozen for further evaluation. After meeting all the requirements the frozen sperm is transferred to the clinic for insemination. When the woman is ovulating, the sperm is inserted into the uterus via a small tube - the process is known as intrauterine insemination. Occasionally the sperm is deposited at the cervix -however for an increased chance at success an intrauterine insemination is done.

Implantation of a Fertilized Egg
When trying to conceive, it’s sometimes hard not to scrutinize every sign and symptom you feel for possible signs of pregnancy. One of the most tell tale signs of pregnancy for many women is implantation, or when the fertilized egg implants into the lining of the uterus.

How Is Pregnancy Due Date Caluclated?
You may have visited your obstetrician for your first prenatal visit expecting to find out when you due date is. One of the questions she will ask you is, “What was the date of the first day of your last menstrual period?” and “How long does your cycle normally last”. She then miraculously comes up with an expected due date of your baby.
