Donor sperm IVF (sperm donation treatment) is an assisted reproductive treatment in which donor sperm is used to fertilize the eggs of the intended mother, followed by an embryo transfer into her uterus.

From Despair to Miracle – A Donor Sperm IVF Success Story
After being diagnosed with azoospermia, the couple chose donor sperm IVF and began their fertility journey. After three failed embryo transfers at another clinic, they turned to NUWA for one final attempt.
Due to previous experiences, the patient felt anxious about injections. The physician adjusted the treatment protocol to reduce discomfort. Although the fourth transfer was unsuccessful, the team continued to provide support and encouragement.
Before the fifth transfer, early test results showed a low β-hCG level. However, with continued care, the levels increased steadily. The couple eventually confirmed a fetal heartbeat—marking the beginning of a new life.
