How Do You Transport A Semen Specimen For Fertility Treatments?
Some fertility treatments require the infertile couple to transport a semen specimen to the fertility treatment center. The couple might be required to transport a semen specimen in order to have the specimen analyzed to determine the number of sperm in the specimen that is swimming well enough to achieve a pregnancy. A semen specimen might also need to be transported to the fertility treatment center as part of an intrauterine insemination (IUI) or another form of fertility treatment. Here are the things you need to know to transport a semen specimen successfully for fertility treatments. Obtain a specimen cup from your fertility treatment center. The specimen cup is designed to transport the semen specimen, and it includes a measurement system that your fertility treatment center will need to determine the volume of semen in the sample. Write your name and the exact time that the semen sample was obtained onto the specimen cup. The specimen cup has a label designed for this purpose.
