<h2>Donor sperm for IUI</h2>
IUI (Intrauterine insemination) is a relatively simple fertility treatment performed by a trained Healthcare professional. It involves placing the sperm into the uterus to increase the number of sperm cells reaching the fallopian tubes.
For <a title="Read more about IUI treatment here" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/blog/iui-treatment-how-it-works/">IUI with donor sperm</a>, we recommend using IUI straws.<a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/modal-pages/what-is-iui-straws/" target="_modal">.</a> If your clinic has confirmed that they can prepare the straws prior to the treatment, you can also choose ICI straws.<a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/modal-pages/what-is-ici-straws/" target="_modal">.</a> Read about&nbsp;<a title="ICI or IUI sperm straws" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/about-sperm/iui-or-ici-sperm-straws/" data-id="18534">the difference between IUI and ICI straws</a>.
If you order IUI straws, we recommend ordering 1 x MOT10 (or higher) straw per insemination. Read more about <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/about-sperm/sperm-quality-and-motility/">what sperm motility is needed for fertility treatment</a> here.
If you order ICI straws, that your clinic is going to prepare for IUI treatment, we recommend choosing either 4 straws with MOT5, 2 straws with MOT10 or 1 straw with MOT20.

<h2>Donor sperm for IVF</h2>
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a process where the eggs are extracted from the ovaries and combined with the sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryo(s) are then transferred into the uterus.
For IVF treatment the recommendations can vary from clinic to clinic, so we advise you to speak with your clinic before ordering.
We recommend ordering 1 x IUI straw MOT5 or higher for <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/blog/ivf-treatment/">IVF with donor sperm</a>.
<h2>Donor Sperm for ICSI</h2>
<a title="Read more about ICSI here" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/blog/what-is-icsi-treatment-learn-how-it-works-step-by-step/">ICSI treatment</a> (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialized form of IVF where a single sperm is injected into each egg. Like with IVF, one or more embryos are then placed into the uterus.
For ICSI, we also recommend speaking with the clinic before ordering as their recommendations can vary. Generally, 1 x MOT2 straw is enough to perform ICSI. Both IUI straws and ICI straws can be used.
<h2>Donor sperm for ICI</h2>
<a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/faq/fertility-treatment/what-is-ici-treatment/">ICI treatment</a>, which is short for Intra-Cervical Insemination, is the simplest fertility treatment with <a title="Read more about donor sperm here" href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/about-sperm/about-donor-sperm/">donor sperm</a>. For ICI you can use both ICI and IUI straws.
We recommend using 2 x MOT10 straws. Higher MOT or more straws can be used but this is not necessary. Note that MOT5 straws are&nbsp;not suitable&nbsp;to use for intra cervical insemination.

<h2>Frequently asked questions about the amount of donor sperm to order</h2>
<h3>How much sperm to order?</h3>
Most sperm straws contain 0,5 ML sperm which is enough for one cycle of treatment. A general recommendation is to purchase one straw at the time to see if the treatment is successful. After a few attempts without achieving pregnancy, some prefer to give it a try with sperm from another donor instead. How many attempts you will need before becoming pregnant varies a lot, but on average you should expect 5-6 attempts/cycles per pregnancy.
If you want to make sure to have enough sperm straws for the entire treatment, we recommend <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/how-to/how-to-order-donor-sperm/reservation-for-later-use/">reserving sperm straws</a> at the time of purchase or when achieving pregnancy.
