Home insemination

Hi ladies
I already have a 5 year old and have tried 2 rounds of IVF to give her a sibling but have had no luck.
I’m 45 and single and have v little money left to spend in fertility treatment.
The only thing I could afford is hone insemination with donor sperm. However, the Danish sperm Banks I’ve used in the past no longer post sperm to U.K. hone addresses, only HEFA approved clinics.
Is there any way round this? Would it be possible to use sperm banks from elsewhere or have a local fertility clinic store sperm for you need it at home?
I’m wracking my brain!
Thanks

I've read that you can order from Danish Sperm bank Sellmerdiers and they will send it to a clinic in Shrewsbury (NFS- National Fertility Society); but you'll also have to pay to inseminate yourself at the clinic as far as I know. I'm not sure what the NFS costs are, you'd need to contact them (but I would think it would be less than usual private fertility clinic IUI costs since you'd do an ICI yourself?)

Sorry, I don't know of any sperm bank that will let you order to home anymore (unless you have/are a licensed medical professional that can sign the paperwork Danish Law requires for export).
