Donor Insemination is when a woman with healthy eggs receives donor sperm for fertilization. Insemination is the process of inserting washed sperm into the vagina or uterus. The sperm of the selected donor is placed near the cervix or directly into the uterus. Sperm from a sperm bank (frozen), or from a known donor can be used.

This is in contrast to egg donation, which is when a woman receives eggs from a female donor, which have been fertilized in vitro by her partner's sperm.
