Pregnancy Even when Husband stays in Overseas ?

IVF is possible with FROZEN SPERMS if the husband stays away.

Couple was suffering from "UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY" (All reports normal, still unable to conceive). They tried several cycles of Ovulation Induction outside

we came to know that nowadays the husband stays abroad. They asked whether Infertility Treatment is possible. We offered then 2 options IUI and IVF using husband's sperms which will be kept frozen and used.

They opted for IVF. We explained the limitations and success rates of IVF. They wanted to move ahead.

So we did IVF, Transferred embryo after 3 days (Day3 FRESH TRANSFER). The result is positive. Thus the success is possible after the 1st cycle. Please pray for them.

IVF for husband staying overseas

Men are able to freeze their sperm for use in their own future treatment or to donate to someone else’s treatment. Donated sperm usually has to be quarantined for three or six months and screened for infections before it can be used by a recipient. The length of quarantine is dependent upon the type of screening tests that your clinic carries out.

IUI for husband staying overseas

Many of our patients are undergoing fertility treatment for male factor indications, and undergo insemination therapy. This may be patients who are using donor sperm from a sperm bank, or patients who are using their partner's sperm, but the sperm has been frozen (partner out of town, or other indications). We are often asked if the success rates will be affected by the use of frozen versus fresh sperm. As well, we are asked if the number of inseminations performed per cycle will affect the success rates. There is a body of studies that have been done to address these specific questions, and our clinic's interpretation of the literature is the following.

The first consideration addresses which type of insemination provides the best outcome when using frozen sperm. A number of studies have looked at this question, and when all the data from those studies are compiled and analyzed, results indicate that if an intrauterine insemination (IUI) is performed (sperm placed directly in the uterus), the odds are 2.5 times greater that a pregnancy will occur, than if an intracervical insemination (ICI) is performed (sperm placed at the entrance of the cervix) (5% vs. 14% monthly chance of pregnancy) (1, 2). When sperm are placed at the cervix, many of them are “lost” as they travel through the cervix and into the uterus, to then find their way to the fallopian tubes. This dilutes the actual numbers that make it to the egg in the fallopian tube, and therefore decreases chances of success. Performing 2 intracervical inseminations in one cycle (9% chance of pregnancy) did not bring success rates close to what one intrauterine insemination achieved (15% monthly chance of pregnancy)

Next consideration addresses if fresh sperm is better than frozen sperm. Two studies have addressed this best, and indicate that the critical components that will provide comparable pregnancy rates are the performance of an intrauterine insemination (IUI), accurate timing of the insemination (relative to the ovulation event), and adequate concentration of sperm inseminated
