Self Insemination??

Question

My husband has a low sperm count, thus we are having trouble conceiving. Can self insemination help increase our chances on getting pregnant?

Answer 1

We were able to use home insemination without going to expensive doctors. We went step by step by a book called "Artificial Insemination on a Budget". The book cost us under $25.00. It is an e-book. It gives great advice on a lot of things including legal forms when using an outside sperm donor. We have two boys now. One is 5 and the other is 15 months and is currently fussing. :)

Answer 2

I don't know where you are but the infertility clinic at Thomas Jefferson university hospital in Philadelphia has a procedure designed for couples who have a low sperm count, ask your obgyn if there is something like that near you - good luck

Answer 3

Have you gone to the doctors for help with this yet. I believe sex would have a better chance than self-insemination. God intended it that way. Good luck!

Answer 4

well you'd have to insert it near the cervix so you'd have to use something similar to a baster. i don't know how effective this will be.
why don't you just save a few hundred dollars and have it done professionally. it'll cost about $500.
and he should be taking a multivitamin with zinc, no tight briefs, boxers only, no hot tubs or bicycling.
i don't know how low his count is but it really only takes one and if you time sex well you may still have a good chance of getting pregnant naturally.
all the best.

Answer 5

in case if you ever want to try to apply for coverage by insurance, Health Net in California wanted the following info to apply for prior authorization:
documentation of how long patient has been trying (if no male partner, prove that patient has paid for and failed 6 previous artificial insemination);
tests within the last 6 month: FSH, estradiol, progesterone for the female, semen analysis for the male

Answer 6

I dont think so since sperm count is low, are you sure its him and not you???
