One of the most common methods that women choose to become pregnant with involves using a syringe to insert the sperm instead of the natural approach. This is similar to having an artificial insemination, but you are doing it on your own and avoiding the costs that are related to the traditional procedure.
A needle-less syringe may be used to insert donor or partner sperm into the vagina for intracervical inseminations (ICI). The syringe may be used by the recipient woman (self-insemination), or by a third party, often a nurse or doctor. With this type of syringe, it is necessary to wait until the semen liquifies before it can be used.
Syringes are also available which are specially designed for DIY inseminations using a donor. These consist of a funnel which is connected directly to the syringe. The donor ejaculates into the funnel allowing the semen to drop directly into the syringe. A plunger is inserted and the syringe is then placed vertically to expel the air.
The semen is pushed to the tip of the syringe which may then be inserted into the vagina. This type of syringe has the advantage over the standard needle-less syringe in that semen can be used for an insemination immediately after ejaculation, without having to wait for it to liquify.
This method can be very effective and many women have relied on it in the past. However, you should keep in mind that it doesn’t have the same effectiveness ratings as a professional artificial insemination. Usually, women who are having the procedure completed are also taking fertility drugs to increase their chances as well.
Doing this at home is fairly simple and you can do it without any medical knowledge. You simply need to purchase a small oral syringe, the type that you would give medicine to children with, from your local drugstore. Then you will collect the semen in the syringe and insert it near your cervix.
Make sure that everything that you use is sterile so that you can eliminate germs that may be in place. If you choose to collect the semen in a condom, make sure that you do not use a normal condom because there are chemical in place that will kill the sperm before it gets to the egg.
