Artificial Insemination

At Masfiv we understand that the road to parenthood can present challenges. Our team of specialists in R eproducción Asistida is here to offer you the most advanced techniques and a close accompaniment. Artificial Insemination in Donostia is one of the simplest and most effective fertility treatments in many cases, and may be the solution you are looking for.

What is Artificial Insemination (AI)?

Artificial Insemination (AI) is an assisted reproduction technique of low complexity, which consists of introducing a semen sample previously prepared in the laboratory, directly into the woman’s uterus. The objective is to facilitate the encounter between the sperm and the egg, thus increasing the chances of fertilization and pregnancy.

Although it is a fertility treatment, we seek to optimize the natural process. This procedure is performed synchronized with the time of ovulation of the woman, either in natural cycle or through a gentle controlled hormonal stimulation.

Who is Artificial Insemination indicated for?

Artificial Insemination is an excellent option in several situations. We recommend it mainly when the following situations are present:

  • Mild Male Factor: Mild difficulties in sperm quality or quantity.

  • Female Factor: Cervical alterations, mild ovulation problems, mild endometriosis.

  • Infertility of Unknown Origin (EOD): When basic tests are normal.
  • Women without a male partner: Who choose motherhood alone.
  • Female Couples: Who wish to have a child through donor insemination.

A personalized evaluation by our team in Donostia-San Sebastian is essential to determine if Artificial Insemination is the most appropriate fertility treatment for your case, ensuring tubal patency.

Types of Artificial Insemination: Conjugal AI and Donor AI

Depending on the origin of the semen used, we differentiate between two types of AI:

  1. Conjugal Artificial Insemination (CAI): The semen of the male partner is used. Conjugal AI requires that the semen sample meets minimum quality requirements after training in our laboratory in Donostia.
  2. Donor Artificial Insemination (DAI): Sperm from our bank of anonymous and rigorously selected donors is used. Donor AI is the indicated option when the partner’s sperm is not viable, in cases of women without a male partner or female couples. In Masfiv we guarantee the highest quality and safety in the selection for donor AI.

The Artificial Insemination Process

Artificial Insemination treatment follows a careful process in our clinic:

  1. First visit and diagnosis: We perform a complete study in our fertility clinic to evaluate your case and confirm if AI is the ideal technique.
  2. Ovarian Stimulation (Optional but Frequent): Administration of mild hormonal medication and ultrasound monitoring in our clinic to develop 1-2 follicles.
  3. Ovulation Induction: Injection of hCG to program ovulation.
  4. Preparation of the semen sample (Training): On the day of artificial insemination, whether for spousal AI or donor AI, we process the sample in our Andrology lab to select the best sperm.
  5. Insemination: Quick and painless procedure in our gynecological office, depositing the capacitated semen in the uterus.
  6. Luteal Phase Support: Progesterone administration.
  7. Pregnancy Test: Blood test (β-hCG) about two weeks after artificial insemination to confirm the result.
  8. First pregnancy consultation: We make a consultation to check that the pregnancy is progressing well, we usually make an appointment from week 7.
