N2 - Today the common practice for donor insemination is to use frozen-thawed semen. Semen should be quarantined while the donor is retested for sexually transmitted diseases in general and human immune deficiency virus (HIV) in particular. Semen properties are changed during the freezing-thawing procedure. Literature review and our experience concerning treatment modalities with frozen-thawed semen are presented. Donor insemination with fresh semen was practiced for years, and most of our knowledge concerning modes of treatment, insemination timing, and success rate were based upon this experience. Criteria concerning semen quality, ovulation monitoring, semen preparation, timing and frequency of insemination, methods of insemination, and success rates might all be influenced by the properties of the frozen-thawed semen.
