What is an ultrasound?

EchoTech Associates, Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions
ultrasound test is a radiology technique, which uses high- frequency sound waves to produce images of the organs and structures of the body. The sound waves are sent through body tissues with a device called a transducer. The transducer is placed directly on top of the skin, which has a gel applied to the surface. The sound waves that are sent by the transducer through the body are then reflected by internal structures as "echoes.

How is the insemination made?

Favorites
The insemination method is up to the recipient. Artificial Insemination that can be done at home is the IVI (Intravaginal insemination) method which was used by my first recipient at her home and inducing an orgasm afterwards after each insemination with positive results and is the method I have used on all the others I have helped. Other methods MUST BE doctor assisted at a clinic such as ICI (Intracervical insemination), IUI (Intrauterine insemination) and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).

How Accurate is Ultrasound?

In Dr. Biller's study (sometimes referred to as "the Ohio study"), Dr. Biller was able to diagnose cats at 10 months of age with 98% accuracy (as determined by eventual histopathology exams after natural death or euthanasia). Given the many variables in real-world testing (the skill, training and experience of the sonographer; the ultrasound equipment; etc.), my personal opinion is that the real-world accuracy will be somewhat lower -- perhaps in the 90% to 95% range.

Frequently asked questions
Ultrasound is a complementary examination to mammogram not an alternative. It is often done at the discretion of the radiologist when further information is sought about the appearance of breast tissue on mammogram. It is helpful in delineating cysts (fluid collections) from solid lumps. Only a very small number of cancers are only seen on ultrasound.

AtlantiCare Imaging Services -- Frequently Asked Questions
Ultrasound, or sonography, is an imaging process that utilizes high frequency sound waves instead of radiation as is used for X-rays. The sound waves form echo patterns that are especially valuable in producing such images as superficial body structures or a developing fetus.

What does an Ultrasound show?

Manatee Diagnostic Center - Frequently Asked Questions
Ultrasound allows us to see the soft tissues in your body. Sound waves bounce off of things. You may be familiar with the use of sonar in submarines! The Ultrasound machine converts the echoes (or bounces of sound waves) into pictures. We can tell a lot about the contents of various parts of the body by using this simple, easily tolerated test. Ultrasound does not show us your bone structure; x-rays do that very well. The gall bladder is commonly evaluated with Ultrasound as a first test.

What about Artificial Insemination and "grading up"?

Randall Cattle Frequently Asked Questions Page
Artificial Insemination is allowed to be used as a breeding tool for animals that will be included in the Randall herdbook. The Registry encourages the use of live bulls to the extent possible as a means of increasing the number of sires used and thereby protecting the diversity of the gene pool. However AI can accomplish specific breeding objectives and may be the only option for breeders who are unable to keep a bull.

How many straws should you use for one insemination?

Welcome to the Straws to Paws, LLC Website!
The number of straws required per insemination is determined by thawing a straw and rating its post thaw motility. For a frozen semen breeding you want to have a minimum of 100 million motile sperm per insemination. Each straw holds 50 million sperm but not all of them will survive the freezing process, hence the evaluation of "post thaw motility". The higher the percent post thaw motility the fewer straws are required.

What is intrauterine insemination?

HORUS IVF
The core of this method consists of facilitating the way of a sperm to the egg by injecting sperm, after special laboratory preparation, by means of a thin tube into the uterine cavity during the period of ovulation. The basic prerequisite for the application of this method is the preserved permeability of the Fallopian tubes. IUI can have a therapeutic effect in cases of disorders in male fertility, immunologically conditioned infertility and also in other indications.

Diagnostic ultrasound is the use of high frequency sound waves to visualize structures within the body. A small device called a transducer is used to send sound waves into the body, which are then reflected off of internal structures. The returning sound waves (echoes) are then sent back to the same transducer and the attached equipment electronically changes the echoes into a picture (image) of your internal structures.

How is the Ultrasound done?

You will be asked to recline on an elevated bed beside the ultrasound machine, and move some of your clothing aside. A clear gel is placed on your belly, which helps the ultrasound waves make contact with your body (ultrasound waves travel very poorly through air). An ultrasound transducer will be moved across your belly to create the needed images. Most women are quite comfortable during the procedure, which usually takes between 20 to 40 minutes.

What is Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI)?

Frequently Asked Questions with Dr. Charles MPL on IVF
Culture medium is layered on top. The specimen is left in the incubator at 37 degrees Celsius for one to two hours. The highly motile sperms will swim up into the culture medium. The enriched upper layer is then removed and sent to the clinic where it is flushed into the uterus using a flexible catheter. This procedure is performed during the time of ovulation in order to increase the chance of conception.

How long after my LH surge should I have my insemination?

My ParenTime | Features-Ovulation Predictor Kit FAQ
Most doctors will do an intra-uterine insemination (IUI) the day after the LH surge, or about 36 hours after it is detected. With a vaginal insemination, or an intra-cervical insemination (ICI) in someone with good fertile mucus, the day of the surge may be preferable. Many doctors are now doing two inseminations per cycle. Check the IUI FAQ.

What are Techniques for Alternative Insemination at Home?

FAQ
First, obtain a few 5cc syringes and specimen cups. Don't use a syringe larger than 5cc; it's not necessary. Sperm sample volumes range from .5cc to 4cc, with an average of about 1cc to 2cc. Also, in case you're wondering, don't use a needle with the syringe. It is dangerous and would likely damage the sperm, not to mention you! The syringe and specimen container should be clean and dry. If you wash and re-use them, be sure there are absolutely no water droplets left anywhere.
