My husband (ftm) and I did our first at home attempt using donor 15467. It’s going to be hard to wait a full two weeks to find out if it worked!!

I ordered some soft cups from amazon. I got pre seed lubricant at Walgreens. I have been on prenatal for three weeks and have lost 20 pounds and quit smoking since January to prepare
pretty easy procedure. We’ll see if it worked!! We did the method where you just put the vial into the cup and insert and leave it in overnight.
DID THE ICI WORK?!!
Hello, I hope it works for you. I received my tank with vial in it today and I Inseminated today. I hope we got it right on time. I’ll find out April 11th if we are pregnant or not.. first time doing this process. Body is healthy and tubes are open.
Hi! I bought my vials and will be doing an at home ICI in the next month or so. But Cryobank doesn’t send supplies for ICI at home. I’m wondering what the straws look like and how you guys drew up the sperm. It’s such a small amount. Thanks for any help!!
i dont have any advise for you - i was wondering the same thing so i am wondering what you found out.
My wife and I decided to start the process as well during my early July ovulation window. We hadn't seen any doctors nor taken any medication. We just wanted to start on our own first before jumping into anything else, that might not even be needed. I am not sure what you mean about Cryobank not sending 'supplies'? When we got our tank, they also included little syringes that worked to just 'suck up the sperm' and then insert it directly into my vagina and that was that. They were by no means magnum size, so what it might lack in one arena, it certainly delivered in the functional part! I had started BBT tracking about a month prior so I had some data to leverage and used an OPK in June to get a baseline of timing. So, we ordered 3 vials for at-home ICI about 4 days before my expected ovulation. Luckily, I had the luxury of an 'ovulation dip' with my BBT and so that was the first day we used a vial and then one more the next day when I had my LH surge and then again the next day which was my actual ovulation. Fast forward to the afternoon of 9DPO and I took my first pregnancy test and it was POSITIVE! Very faint, but there was a line! The next morning, 10DPO, we used two different pregnancy test brands and two more +'s! For good measure, we did it again this morning, 11 DPO, with two more different types of tests, and more +'s...no turning back now! Oh, and three days after my ovulation I turned 37, so hope is out there!
My wife and I did our first IUI insemination this week. We are in the 2 week wait with 15467! It’s torture lol I hope everything worked out well with you and your husband
Did anyone here conceive with 15467?
