What are the benefits of using your husband's sperm cells to get pregnant?

By Sara Salgado B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 01/30/2017

The main benefit of using the husband's sperm instead of donated sperm is that your child will share your DNA: half his, half yours. The result would be the same as with natural insemination (i.e. sexual intercourse).

This is an advantage for the child as well: he will know about his biological origins and be able to develop an emotional attachment more easily.
