Statistic Quote
"11%"  Source: lgbthealthchannel.com
  • "The conception rate through AI is similar to that through sexual intercourse. Approximately 11% of women who are trying to conceive are successful during a given menstrual cycle. Failure to conceive with AI is most often a result of fertility problems and not insemination error. There is a 20% rate of miscarriage among women who use AI and women who conceive during sexual intercourse. Age and medical history affect a woman's ability to conceive regardless of the method. It is a common misconception that more boys than girls are born of AI, but there is no data that suggests that this is true."
  • "AI can be a cost-effective alternative to adoption, which can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000. AI using banked sperm may cost $500 to $1000, depending on the number of inseminations that are needed to conceive
  • Thawed, donated sperm lives for only 1 day, so conception is harder than with fresh sperm, which can live for several days in the uterus."

  • "The popular press often cites the number of anonymous donor inseminated births per year at 30,000.  Although no industry-wide statistics are maintained, an unpublished survey conducted by the AATB suggests that a more accurate figure would be 4,000 to 5,000 donor inseminated births per year.  (This is calculated based on 1.5 vials per insemination, a 10% pregnancy rate per cycle, and a 20% spontaneous miscarriage rate.)  By extrapolating this annual figure, the total number of anonymous donor inseminated births is estimated to be less than 130,000 over the last 30 years."
