Do Sperms From Two Different Donors During IUI-procedure Reduce The Chances Of Conception?

default
Posted on Wed, 3 Feb 2016
Question: Hello,
I have a fertility related question. I had an IUI procedure today using donor sperm. I also had unprotected sex three nights ago. I thought that might be a good enough idea, in terms of increasing my chances at conception, but I am reading about the risks of mixing sperm and complications with "antibodies", where sperm from different men can somehow kill each other. Is this a real concern?
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Not a concern

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about antibodies.

This concept was disproved long back. There is no such risk of sperms killing each other. I absolutely see no risk. You can be relaxed.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
