Success stories home insemination

[maximum123]

hello ladies, I just wondered if anyone had tried using their husbands sperm sample at home to get pregnant. If so did it work? Any tips? The pressure of trying to conceive has led my husband to not be able to produce sperm when we have sex. This is something that has been going on for months sadly. Yet he did manage to produce a sperm sample for the doctors, which amazed me and frustrated me. Anyone else struggling with this problem from their husband and did collecting their sperm in a pot help? then using a syringe to insert sperm into your vagina work?
Thanks.

Hi, I do the process pretty much straight away from my Husband handing me his pot. We will do it a few times before, during and after a positive ovulation test.

Hi, my Husband and I are both 45, and do home insemination too, I keep the syringe in whilst I use a vibratory to orgasm a couple of times and then lie down for as long as possible. We’ve got pregnant twice with this method but both ended in a miscarriage. We’re continuing to ttc this way, but are considering doing donor egg IVF in the next year.

Hi, its great to see this worked for some people, just woundering how long do you leave the sperm before inserting it? And how often do you do it during ovulation? It's our 4th month trying and loosing hope

Hi! I'm so glad I found this thread, I'm really considering getting a self insemination kit because my partner finds it hard to finish also, plus the pressure of Ttc has just gotten harder to bare! It's so nice to know I'm not alone in this!

Ttcchapter1 congratulation and hope u can give good news soon.

[Selve03]

SJChief my heartly congratulations. Can i know did u use conceive plus or preeseed?
I had my first miscarriage(did iui) last september. My symptom last time start from ovulation day until bfp i got cervical mucus which i always felt wet. This time we did home insemination for 3 times during big O and i felt cervical mucus dry now. Can u share me the any symptom after your ovulation?

[SJChief]

@ttcchapter1 no - it was on our list of things to try if month 2 didn’t work out!

[ttcchapter1]

And how long after your partner ejaculated did you use the sperm as some people say to wait 10 mins?

[ttcchapter1]

@SJChief everything is crossed for you! Sorry to hear about the CP. Hoping this one is your little miracle 😊 i have difficulty pinpointing ovulation too and opks never seem to work for me, will try them again next month though if this month doesn’t work.

Did you use preseed?

[SJChief]

@ttchapter1 - no worries! I feel incredibly lucky as I'm in my mid-thirties and this is first baby - had talked myself into expecting much longer wait.

Tried for two cycles - first cycle had CP, second cycle is sticky so far (keep fingers crossed for me!). Each cycle tried for 10-13 days, which might have been overkill but I was having difficulty pinpointing ovulation.

I always started propped up, pushed the syringe slowly, then removed after about 30 secs. Then always O (even if takes a while, and definitely no internal stuff) and then 5 mins before getting on with things...

I did so much research on it all before we started and there's so much contradictory advice, but so far it's worked for us!

[ttcchapter1]

@Selve03 this is kind of my first cycle properly trying! So hoping i do conceive this way.

@SJChief omg congratulations! So so happy for you. How long did you lie down for after it? And did you always O after, how many cycles did you try and how many times per cycle? Sorry, im so intrigued and have so many questions 🙈 i inseminated 8 times this month and now in tww.

Hi @Selve03 - I'm currently 5.5weeks, conceived by home insemination (I have vaginismus, so the usual way wasn't going to work for us!). Don't worry about leakage - I put two pillows under my hips, did the syringe, removed it, got OH to give me a big O (I read it helps, but it did make it feel less clinical!) and then gave it 5 mins before getting up.

[Selve03]

Hi thanks for your kind revert.. Did you manage to conceive use this method?

[ttcchapter1]

@Selves03

I was having a lot of leakage too, i then started leaving the syringe in place for atleast 30 mins and using two pillows to stay elevated! And it really cut down on the amount of leakage. Good luck.

[Selve03]

Hi im still trying conceive thru home insemination.. But i feel leakage while take out syringe.. And i feel hurt if use softcup.. Any suggestion? Its normal leak out during take out syringe?

[AdriannaP]

Any updates on this thread?
Did it work for you ladies?

[Banoffeepie91]

Keeping everything crossed for us both! I told OH that there were loads of people online who had similar issues and he really cheered up about it all. I think he’s pleased we’ve found an alternative way that he can still perform.

[Aomlaoy]

Yeah I totally agree- I think this is an issue for a lot of people tbh. I did it Monday & this evening so fingers crossed. I'm currently taking letrozole so hopefully that gives me a little edge! Good luck- let me know how you get on!!

[Banoffeepie91]

Just tried it this morning so will have to wait a few weeks and see! Just bought some syringes and sterile pots from amazon and did it that way. OH sometimes finds it hard finishing inside me so thought we’d try it this way. Was pretty easy to do so hoping we get the result we want. I think we’ll keep doing it this way when we can as it takes some of the pressure off actually DTD.

[Aomlaoy]

Has anyone tried home insemination kits? Has anyone had a positive result- first time trying it this month wish me luck!

[Aomlaoy]

I can see this was an old thread but I was just wondering if anyone had been successful recently with home insemination? Just curious if worth a shot or not

[DebbieLarkins]

I knew was years a go...But how you exactly did your home insimination?
I am hoping do that next week and I order a speculum today (still need order the rest of other stuffs).
My hubby and I has trying and I HAS BEEN so Sad when my AF arrived past months. I am mother of 9 years old daughter with my first husband--Now, my hubby now did a test and all looks Normal.
So..I would like to know how many times you inject the sperm inside? How far you go? (Did you inject alway inside the cevix?)
Thank you.
Sorry for my broke english:^(

[rhetorician]

maximum - wow! that's great. Congrats. Worked for us too (same scenario as dottydot); took 5 goes, then mmc, then 2 goes (DD1), this time around, 3rd time lucky (DD2 due in December).

[maximum123]

Wow in real shock home insemination worked for us first time. Just got our BfP after sixteen months of trying.and I really thought it had not worked. It was only a missed period that alerted me. Can't believe it. Really really pray it happens soon for others who read this. Thanks for advice.
