intrauterine insemination with frozen sperm can help many couples with travel concerns continue fertility treatment. while half the sperm does not survive the freeze and thaw the sperm that does survive maintains good pregnancy rates. in studies of women under 35 using donor sperm due to lack of male partner or partner without sperm the pregnancy rate was 18. 5% per cycle (just slightly less that the 20-25% per cycle quoted as the normal rate of conception). the chance of pregnancy success declines with the age of the female partner (12% per cycle for women 35-40; 5% per cycle for women > 40).
i have fertility problems and my husband travels for work. will intrauterine insemination work with frozen sperm?
