What are the advantages of IVF using donor sperm instead of the husband's sperm?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 01/11/2017

Sperm donation is a possibility offered when the man presents problems with sperm quality, a genetic disease or abnormality, or after undergoing cancer treatments that could lead to a considerable reduction of the chances for natural pregnancy. In this sense, the main advantage of sperm donation is that it increases the success rates of an IVF cycle, provided that the woman presents no fertility issue.
