Should Unwashed Or Washed Sperm Be Used For Home Insemination?
I am interested in home insemination using donor sperm due to male factor infertility. I've read confliciting articles regarding whether the sperm should be washed or unwashed. Although washed sperm is better it doesn't live as long coming from a frozen sample. My understanding is that unwshed will live for 24 hours. What do you recommend?
Thanks

Hello, washed sperms are always better as all unwanted debris and infections are removed and good quality ones get selected
