If the male partner suffers from the complete absence of sperms or azoospermia, then the female partner may use donor sperm. IVF doctors in Mumbai can suggest undergoing a testicular biopsy to retrieve the sperms if present from the testicles.

The retrieved sperms can be used for IUI or IVF treatment. If sperm retrieval is not possible, the couple can opt for another option: the donor sperm procedure in Mumbai.

Saraogi Hospital, one of the leading IVF centre in Mumbai, provides a chance for couples who have a complete absence of sperms or single women or lesbians to conceive through donor sperm procedure in Mumbai.

How is the donor sperm procedure in Mumbai at Saraogi Hospital performed?

  • Step I: Initial Consultation and Scan: The initial step in the sperm donation process is to come to the clinic for a scan and consultation. The doctor will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on the scan findings.
  • Step II: Blood tests: In this appointment, the sperm donor will need to have blood work for detecting sexually transmitted diseases such as Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, Hepatitis B Core Antibody, Hepatitis C, HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, and CMV. The significant of them is the CMV blood test for matching with a donor. CMV patients can only be matched with CMV donors.
  • Step III: Organising the donor sperm: After undergoing all the tests, the sperm sample is collected and quarantined for six months to rule out any blood-borne diseases. Further, the sperms are checked for motility and morphology.
  • Step IV: Donor sperm insemination: 
IUI with donor sperm
IVF with donor sperm

The donor sperm can also be used in IVF treatment. The child born using donor sperm procedure has 50% of the parent’s hereditary material.
