International and confused

Asking13now

Hi,

I am doing this in Ireland and there is no way I would use anyone but you all. A years worth of research and investigation you are constantly recomended.

Now I plan to do the 10 vials and the 3yrs storage. However here in Ireland fertility doctors only treat couples. I have a GP who will sign my A1 form as I have had all the requist STI and pre conception tests. I working on losing the last 10 pounds and tracking my BBT.

SO how hard is home insemination?

Thanks

Hi Asking -

Thank you for choosing CCB!

While CCB clients have achieved pregnancy from at home inseminations, odds of conception are better doing IUIs with a physician. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1) You will need to purchase ICI vials (unwashed vials) for at home inseminations.

2) We don't provide a device or any medical supplies to do an at home insemination, so you will have to acquire this on your own.

3) The timing of an insemination is critical and international shipping logistics can make this difficult. Many international clients ship specimen to their fertility clinic ahead of time and the lab can place the vials in cryogenic storage until they are needed. Our shipping tanks are validated for seven days, so for example, if the specimen takes 5 days to arrive, you only have about 2 days to use the specimen. If you ovulate later or earlier than expected, you may lose out on the specimen. Also, there can be custom delays, which can cause specimen to arrive later than anticipated.

That being said, we do want to help you with your family goals. We just want to make sure that you are aware of some of these obstacles.

You may also want to check out other threads on our Bulletin Board where clients discuss their personal experiences with at home ICIs.

Regards,

Nicole
