Therapeutic Insemination with Donor Sperm (TID)
TID is the placement of donor sperm directly into the uterus of the patient. In cases of severe male factor infertility, i.e., very low sperm count and/or motility, or no sperm at all, TID may be indicated. TID may also be used if the male partner carries a genetic disorder.

The procedure is the same as for IUI, but with the use of donor sperm. Donor sperm are frozen and stored for 6 months, to enable adequate screening and help prevent communicable diseases from being transmitted. Frozen donor sperm will be thawed and processed to isolate the highest quality sperm and then placed directly into the uterus via a catheter. |
