What are the advantages of using quarantined frozen semen samples from a semen bank as opposed to fresh samples?
Safety, due to the quarantine period, is the primary advantage of using semen samples from a semen bank. Other advantages include: ease of scheduling insemination when ovulation is optimal; multiple insemination in a given ovulatory cycle with the same donor; and availability of known quality sperm over an extended period of time. It is also easier to ensure complete anonymity for the patients.
