When you’re trying to get pregnant, timing is everything.
Pregnancy occurs when the sperm cell fertilises the egg. For some women, this can happen quickly while for others it can take longer. You probably already know this, and so you probably also know that this is no different when you choose to get pregnant by a sperm donor from Cryos International. The difference is that timing becomes more than just knowing your ovulation date, it is also important when you order the sperm for delivery.
The best time to get pregnant
But first, let us share a few basic facts about your “fertile window”. This is the best time to try and conceive and it’s different for every woman. The “fertile window” is in fact the only time during a woman’s menstrual cycle when pregnancy is possible and occurs within two days before your ovulation and the day of your ovulation, where the egg are released from your ovary. An egg only lives for about 12-24 hours so it needs to be fertilised by the sperm within this time. Cryos recommend taking an ovulation test which can help you identify your fertile window. Insemination with donor sperm should take place 24-36 hours after a positive ovulation test.
Reserve the sperm from your favourite donor
So now you know when you need the sperm and let us also assume that you have found your favourite sperm donor. Now what? Well, when you order donor sperm you can choose to purchase for delivery right away, or reserve the donor sperm which is then stored for you at Cryos International. This ensures that the sperm is available for possible delivery when you reach the best time to get pregnant. If you want to be sure to get sperm from your favourite donor, you should reserve immediately after you have found the donor.
Ordering donor sperm
Whether you order sperm for delivery right away, or if you have reserved the donor sperm for later use it is important that you place the order at least 2 days prior to your desired shipping date. Remember to make sure that the delivery date takes place on the day before you need the sperm for home insemination or treatment at a clinic at the latest – just to make sure that you have received the sperm in due time for your ovulation.
From all at Cryos International, we wish you the best of luck on your journey towards becoming a mummy!
