My husband tends to struggle 'finishing' via intercourse and we tend to do this via foreplay - if you get my drift.

We are finding the pressure to have sex and finish is causing some performance issues and just adding to stress. I want the sex to be fun and enjoyable which I think means doing what we normally do.

I'm interested by tbe at home insemination/fertility cups but wondered if anyone had used them? Also looking at the instruction a lot of the cups say to insert once you've had sex to keep the sperm inside but has anyone used this method for their partner to finish into and then insert?

Thanks

Hi it's like you're talking about me and my partner! I literally posted earlier today too. We're using TwoPlus home artificial insemination - my partner finishes into the sample pot and it's a syringe type thing to then pop the sperm up into you. You can get an additional end which you leave inside for an hour which is meant to keep the sperm near the cervix for longer too if you want it (we use it because every little helps in my opinion!)

it's really simple to use and honestly I wouldn't conceive without them. I got pregnant second month of using them (sadly ended in miscarriage) but am back using them again now x

Hi,

No experience of using a kit as such however stumbled across your post as in a similar position. Have you tried the kit yet?
