Donor sperm from a known donor

Annie

Has anyone used donor sperm from a known donor, such as a friend or brother in law? Currently, my husband has surgery scheduled to fix blockages. I'm just trying to prepare myself mentally for next steps in case it doesn't work. I can't find much info online, but I heard it could still take some time due to testing? Does anyone know if you can do IUI or IVF, or just IVF? Thanks so much for any input and tips!
