my girlfriend and i are trying to conceive through home pregnancy, our donor lives around 20 miles away, we go and collect the sperm and bring it home to inseminate it. can you give us any advice on the survival of the sperm or any tips to ensure it is inseminated correctly?
HelloThanks for query. You have been trying artificial insemination at home. Normally sperm survival time is one hour after ejaculation. Since you are carrying your friends' semen from his place which is 20 miles away it is most likely that all sperms are dead before you reach at home. Second important aspect to be observed is that artificial insemination has to be carried out in a most sophisticated clinic under ideal antiseptic precautions by a qualified Gynecologist during a period of expected and confirmed ovulation. This is something that should not be carried by patient herself at home. Chat Doctor.
