What type of sperm preparation do I need?
This depends on the type of procedure you will undergo (artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF) with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) )
and what your health care professional prefers. Our IUI (washed) and
ICI (standard) prepared specimens can be used for artificial insemination.
Our IUI specimens have been washed to remove the seminal plasma and
are ready for an intrauterine insemination. Our ICI specimens can be
used for an intracervical insemination or can be prepared at your physician's
office for an intrauterine insemination. The IVF as well as the ICI
can be used for in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection
and both preps will need further processing at your health care provider's
office. Before placing your order it is best to consult your physician
regarding which sperm preparation to order.
How many sperm vials do I need to order?
Typically, 1-2 vial(s) are used per procedure or cycle. However, it
is best to consult with your physician as the number you'll need may
vary.
