● Getting the semen sample The male partner has to provide a frozen donor sperm or semen sample at the doctor's office. The sample is washed first as the non-sperm elements in semen can cause reactions in the woman's body. Moreover, using a little but a highly concentrated sample of healthy sperm can increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
