Can Artificial Insemination Be Done From Home Having Saved Semen In The Refrigerator?
hi, I was wondering how long can semen be home stored for it to still be fertile. My girlfriend and I are trying to do a home artificial insemination. We have a friend that is donating his sperm and Im not sure how long it can last without being sent to a sperm bank.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sperms in the semen dies with few hours after ejaculation if they are placed outside so I would recommend you not to store sperms at home. Sperm cryopreservation is done at a higher levels where sperms can be stored for many years but it requires the temperature of around -150 to -190 degree Celsius.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
