HOw long doing at home insems?

Katierose

I did my first at home insem last cycle and it didn't work. Unfortunately, we tried it with washed sperm even though unwashed are best, because of confusion and confusing advice.
This cycle I want to do at home with unwashed. I am having to find a new donor and have no idea who I will use.
But I am wondering if people have had good luck, and how long it took, with unwashed, at home insem.

Also, does this sperm bank tell you the counts when you are researching?

hi. i used donor 11018 with an at home ici and it worked the first time. I used a clear blue easy ovulation monitor and inseminated on my second peak day at 3am so it didn't get too late. didn't use anything fancy. just an eye dropper. aim the eye dropper where you think the man would naturally deposit sperm and press on the bulb thing slow. just make sure you have pillows under your hips! and stay there a half hour. would recommend inseminating a couple days before (one day before your peak day) for best results. I know. i sound kind of really detailed but it worked for me...
