Patient's question:
Recently, I wanted to have another child and found that I have some erectile dysfunction. I'm considering artificial insemination. I've already had a sperm quality test, and the results are mostly normal. How long should I wait before going to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
The selection of artificial insemination time is a crucial factor in determining the success of artificial insemination. The current insemination time is during the female's periovulatory period, which includes the day before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and the day after ovulation. With the continuous advancement of detection technology, it is now possible to accurately determine the optimal time for artificial insemination by analyzing a combination of indicators. To improve the success rate of artificial insemination, medication-induced ovulation may be used for the female. When using an ovulation induction regimen, the artificial insemination time should be selected 34–36 hours after HCG injection. In natural cycles, the time should be chosen 16–18 hours after the LH peak appears, and the decision should also consider the other three indicators mentioned above.
