At home artifical insemination please help

The "old" method is known as the "turkey baster" method, in which the semen is placed in a turkey baster.

Another method uses a cup called the instead softcup, which is meant to be used to collect menstrual blood.

Neither of these methods has medical approval.

Conceivex has a product that is in the process of FDA approval for home sale (all of the parts are approved & you can buy the kit with a prescription) - this uses a silicon cap that is placed over the cervix, with the semen inside. The kit includes everything you need - ovulation predictor sticks, a special condom, etc - its main disadvantage is the high price (around $300 for 3 cycles). On their site, I believe they have links to relevant medical research.

Whatever you do, just like any woman trying to conceive, choose the fertile time (use an ovulation calculator and possibly an ovulation prediction kit) and stay in the same position for about 20 minutes.

Good luck,

Good luck. i can't wait to hear how it goes. I am currently on my fourth IUI using a doctor. I am getting very frustrated and it has been an emotional rollercoaster. One thing to remember during this process is to keep talking to your partner......at times you may feel that you are going through this alone but your partner needs you to keep her informed. It will make the process less emotional.

i don't know what advice to give you but i would love to know how you do afi at home??? would you tell me more about this procedure? and where did you get it from???

I know that my doc. told me to take a lot of folic acid and there is a receipe that you can mix nd drink every day... to help you become more fertile, i can't use it as for i'm allergic to some ingrediants...  so if you want it i'll post it on monday morning for you (theres one for you and you partner...)

 I also do not know what advice to give you but I also would love to know how this is done at home if anyone can help I lost a baby in July of 06 we had bee trying for two years prior to that we are now in our third year we are both older and time may be running  I am will to try just about anything Please help if you can
