ADI

Insemination with donor sperm, so-called Donogenic Insemination (DI), also Artificial Donogenic Insemination (ADI)

Donor sperm is used in donogenic (heterologous) treatments. The most common reason for choosing this type of treatment is the lack of sperm in the man’s ejaculate. Failures of previous treatments or their rejection are other reasons.

In the simplest case, i.e. if there is no significant female cause of infertility, a transfer of donor sperm (insemination) into the uterine cavity can be carried out after the time of ovulation has been established or determined. Here, too, additional hormone treatment may be necessary.

Treatment requirements

The close cooperation with the Berliner Samenbank GmbH enables an optimal donor selection for the couple. The listing of various characteristics of all donors makes it possible to select the donor who most resembles the man in terms of physical characteristics (eye colour, hair colour, body weight, body height, blood group, build, head shape, hairline, etc.). In this way, it can be achieved that the child resulting from this therapy is externally similar to both so-called social parents.

Once a treatment contract with notarised signature is available, the corresponding therapy can be started.
Further information can be found at our partner Berliner Samenbank GmbH.

Monitoring / VZO (intercourse to the optimum)

Depending on the desire of the couple, the available findings and other basic conditions, it may be indicated to first follow the course of the natural cycle through more intensive examinations; in order to be able to inform you of the conception optimum (best time to achieve a pregnancy).

Hormone treatment

If the hormone examinations carried out have revealed a noteworthy hormone disorder, this can be treated specifically.

Anaesthesia

General anesthesia puts you in a sleep-like state, i.e. it switches off your consciousness and, above all, your sense of pain.

IUI

Insemination is one of the comparatively simple procedures and is performed in cases of rather mild limitations of male fertility or disorders in the cervical canal, e.g. disorders of mucus formation or condition after conization (conical section of the external cervix).

IVF

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization = test tube fertilization) is typically used when the woman has a bilateral tubal occlusion.

ICSI

If the semen quality is severely impaired or if sperm can only be obtained by means of testicular biopsy, ICSI will be necessary in addition.

Cryoconservation

It has been technically possible for many years to freeze cells of various kinds in order to subsequently thaw them out again after months to years without them having suffered any significant damage.

ADI

If no sperm at all is available, the use of sperm from a donor can also be considered. There may also be other reasons for why this appears to be indicated.

Blastocyst culture

Blastocyst culture involves cultivating the embryos up to day 5.
