Fresh Sperm?

misscherryblue

I'm curious if anyone out there has tried using fresh sperm for an insemination or knows someone who has. I got pregnant on my second IUI but then miscarried, and haven't gotten pregnant again after 5 IUIs. I'm almost 36 and none of my test show any reason that I'm not getting pregnant, so we thought perhaps bad timing (so tricky with IUIS) and the money stress might be a cause. We are about to do our first at home insemination using a friend of a friend's sperm. I haven't found any message boards that focus on that method, and I'm curious if people have had better results.
