Can artificial insemination be successful done at home?

Question

curious about this as my cousin and her hubby are planning on trying this.

her mother is a nurse so everything will be very very sterile and they will be timing everything just right.

so my question i guess is, can this actually work when doing it at home? or would they be better to go a doctor?

Answer 1

Actually it can work at home.  I know a couple that did it, they got their sperm through the mail actually and then they did the insemination with a thing that basically looked like a turkey baster and sure enough they got pregnant.  

Answer 2

Yes this can work. You might suggest they consider the SoftCup technique in addition to having a nurse perform the procedure. It helps keep the sperm in contact with the cervix.

Answer 3

Yes it can work. I have friends who are a same s*x couple and they did artificial inseminatation at home. They got pregnant the very first time they tried! AMAZING!

Answer 4

I've done it at home and it worked for me.i didn't use a syringe,instead i used a soft cup.it's pretty easy do at home than going to a doctor and having a medical bill.
