Seven Steps to IVF

#4 Sperm Collection and Insemination

While the egg retrieval is underway, you will be notified by the andrology/embryology staff that a sperm sample is needed. The specimen will be processed in our laboratory and prepared for egg insemination. Only the identified partner's sperm will be used to inseminate the eggs obtained from the female partner. Please discuss with the embryology staff any questions or concerns you may have prior to the day of egg retrieval. It is recommended that a frozen specimen be collected in case of emergency (illness, inability to produce a specimen etc.).
