Are test tube babies give negative or positive impact?
Yes. they are real. but they are NOT called 'test tube' babies. It makes it sound like a Frankenstein experiment and many people are offended by the term.
They were called this in the 80's when little was known about them and it really was an experiment. But now, it is more than that. Its is a way for a couple to have a child, when they were previously unable to, because of a number of factors; a low sperm count, several miscarriages or a hostile womb.
They are embryos that are made with a sperm and an egg (either of these could be donated) that are artificially inseminated into a 'surrogate' who carries the child to full term and gives birth for the couple. Host surrogates do not use their own eggs whereas straight surrogates do, however, they are still not considered the mother, and the child is brought up by its IPs (Intended Parents).
If you really must nickname them, its a 'Petri-dish' baby. They are conceived in a petri dish as this provides the proper conditions for cell division. Test tubes are not used in the process.
How do you do artificial insemination at home?
Considering that you have the semen or ready access to said semen. the most utilitarian method is the Turkey Baster ( www.turkeybaster.net).
First ensuring that the semen is fresh, less than 4 hours from ejaculation, or fully thawed if aquiring from a sperm bank.
Suction the semen into the turkey baster keeping it in the tip. (It is best to keep the tip pointing down during the entire process.)
Insert the turkey baster into the vagina till it reaches the entrance to the uterus, successful impregnation is less likely to occur if you push all the way to the back of the vaginal wall. Explore the space ahead of time with the turkey baster to ensure you are familiar with the placing.
Once the head of the turkey baster is inserted against the entrance to the uterus, squeeze forcefully to implant the semen as ejaculation would.
This is a proven method of self insemination, more easily done with a partner than on one's own.
Can you artificial insemination after tubal ligition?
Yes, Tubal ligation only prevents a womans own egg from reaching her own uterus naturally. Her eggs can be retrieved by a physician and fertilized artificially (test tube fertilization)and then implanted in her uterus to obtain a normal pregnancy.A donors egg could also be used. This is of course barring any other medical problems with her reproductive system.
Can sperm be retrieved from a man once he has had a vasectomy and used for artificial insemination?
Yes, a man can. My husband had a vasectomy 7 years before I met him and we now have a four year old and we're trying for another. It just means the doctor uses a needle into the testicles and they take sperm from further up, it is a whole lot cheaper and easier than a reversal. You just go see your local IVF unit or GP.
They either have to reverse it, or go in to his testicles with a needle and remove the sperm that way.
Note: when considering the cost of each proceedure, remember that if you choose IVF, you pay to have the sperm harvested and for each attempted fertilization.
After artificial insemination how soon can you tell if your pregnant?
After two weeks, I took a digital over-the-counter pregnancy test and it read "pregnant". In addition, I physically felt different. My breast became extremely tender. Two days after my doctor confirmed that I was expecting a baby!
Is there a downside to artificial insemination?
If you are being inseminated by someones sperm that you know it can be good for instance if you don't seem to be getting pregnant thru intercourse and you use this way it is fine. The con is if you do not know the donor then the child wont have a biological father that they know, however, if there is a man in your life who is willing to be the father it can be an ok way to conceive if he can not inseminate you himself
Why would someone use artificial insemination?
A woman is given fertility drugs to help her body produce several eggs at once, rather than the usual one per month. When a sufficient number of eggs have ripened they are extracted from her body with a long puncture needle, and kept at a laboritory.
The man then hands in a dose of semen (obtained from masturbation) which is 'worked up' to have only the most mobile (quickest) sperm cells remain.
The eggs and sperm are then put together in a test tube, in order to find each other more easily as they would inside a woman's body.
If one or more eggs are successfully fertilised one or two (usually not more, in view of medical risks) will be put back into the woman's body in hopes that they might nestle there resulting in pregnancy.
Success rate of IVF is roughly 20%-25%.

What is the Sikh view on Artificial insemination by donor?
God intended that pregnancy occur within the bond of marriage between a man and a woman -- who are married to each other. God commissioned the human race in Genesis by the proclamation that Adam and Eve were to multiply and replenish the earth. Furthermore, according to the Bible, pregnancy is to occur between the man and a woman who are married to each other.
If the married couple is having a problem getting pregnant and artificial insemination is recommended by a doctor, then it is acceptable under the condition that, only the sperm and egg of the married couple are involved.
As long as both the egg in the sperm are from the same married couple, then I can see no problem with this process. After all, both the egg in the sperm belonged to the married couple and there is no intrusion of seed from outside that marriage bond. If the married couple accepts the sperm from another man (a man outside of the marriage bond with that woman), then she is inviting the intrusion of another man's seed into herself. This is an adulterous occurrence.
Christian marriage is a covenant between the husband and wife with God and people as witnesses. This covenant is taken seriously by the Lord. It should also be taken seriously by the couple. God knows all situations and circumstances and is in complete control. If a Christian couple cannot get pregnant and if the only way the wife can get pregnant is through the donation of sperm from a man outside of the marriage bond, then it is best to avoid that pregnancy. Otherwise, the couple is inviting into the woman's body the seed of another man -- which is adultery. It is better that if the couple desires to have children, they should adopt. This prevention of pregnancy could be a means by which the Lord arranges for couples to adopt, thereby, taking care of other children.
Objections Some claim that using another man's sperm to impregnate a woman is not morally wrong because there is no physical act of adultery involved and there is no intent of it adultery. Also, if the husband agrees, then how could the impregnation be adulterous? We must be very careful to not let situational ethics govern biblical principles. God has ordained that husband and wife, a married couple, be the bearers of children within that covenantal bond of marriage. Whether or not the physical act of adultery has occurred or not does not excuse the fact that the sperm of another man has entered the body of a woman to whom he is not married.

Can a 60 years old woman can still have baby through arficicial insemination?
No, she still would need an egg. She could have a baby through embryo transfer, though. This has been done, in Italy.
How old do you got to be to do insemination?
At least 18, unless you have really stupid, uncaring parents. Then you might have a shot at younger if you could find a stupid, unethical doctor.
The above, of course, refers to artificial insemination. If you go about it the old-fashioned way and choose the age of your partner carefully, there are no legal restrictions. However, the stupid part still applies if you are under 18.
Can a you use two donors for artificial insemination?
It most likely depends on your timing, sperm will live up to a week in the woman's reproductive vault waiting for ovulation. Once there, it takes "ownership" and will attempt to fight off a donation from another male - knowing this happens, both donations should be done at the same time or as close together as possible.
When two gay men use artificial insemination with a surrogate, they may both make a sperm donation - giving both of them an equal chance at being the biological father.
I have also heard of doctors telling a couple to have sex, following artificial insemination using donor sperm, if the male has a low sperm count - undoubtedly hoping the "father to be" will donate a few good swimmers to the mix giving him a chance at paternity.
How much test tube baby in landon?
The cost of a test tube baby (in vitro fertilization or IVF) in London can vary widely, typically ranging from £5,000 to £10,000 per cycle. This price may not include additional expenses such as medication, consultations, and any necessary procedures. It's important to consult specific clinics for detailed pricing and package options, as costs can differ significantly between providers. Additionally, some patients may be eligible for funding or financial assistance through the National Health Service (NHS) based on individual circumstances.
Does artificial insemination mean that artificial introduction of sperm takes place there?
In some situations, that is exactly what it means. The "artificial" in this case just means that it wasn't done using sex. If the semen cannot reach the egg cell, doctors can put it there, at least after verifying that there are sperm cells in the semen. If the man doesn't have semen with viable sperm cells, then trying to put his semen by the egg cell won't help.
In other cases, it refers to artificial fertilization. The egg and sperm cells may be taken from the body, isolated, allowed to fertilize, and introduced back into the woman's body. It is "artificial" since this requires a fertility specialist, and doesn't happen on its own. This can be helpful if a man has a very low sperm count. The sperm cells can be isolated from the semen. Then the egg can be fertilized in a lab and then implanted back in.
So the "artificial" here refers to outside intervention. After that intervention, the process is natural.
Advantages of using artificial insemination?
