Hello I have a question to ask. Do I need a MD to purchase the ICI if I want to do it myself at home. I would be doing the ICI at home and then 1 IUI with the MD.
In general without the IUI can I still purchase ICI to be shipped to my home address?
Thank You

    Hi Tin -

    You will need to have your physivian sign the A1 regardless of where the insemination is done. Think of it like a prescription.

    We can ship to your home as long as your physician authorizes it on the A1.

    We do not recommend it, but you can use an IUI for an at-home ICI. Remember, there are potentially less sperm in the IUI vial since it is intended to be released much closer to the egg. The extra sperm and fluids in the ICI vial actually help the strong sperm along the way to the uterus.


    Best of luck,

    Scott
