It varies from one to multiple, or it may not work at all. It depends on a lot of factors, including the quality of the sperm and the fertility potential of the female receiving the donor sperm

Sucess ranges from 10-20% depending on if there is any other fertility factors present (tubal issues, PCOS, advanced maternal age, or diminished ovarain reserve, etc). It could take up to 6 or more cycles for success with donor sperm. This is mostly due to using frozen sperm (not as good as fresh) and only getting one exposure to sperm (where with timed intercourse can have multiple tries and sperm exposure).

The answer depends on the age of the patient, the reason for the infertility, and if IVF or IUI is being attempted. In most cases, successful conception should occur within 3 to 6 attempts.
