For at home donor inseminations.

*Give the donor the spare room to use not the bathroom !

Donor

*Abstain from orgasm for one week prior.
*Drink plenty of water and maintain hydration.
*Abstain from alcohol and other drugs one week prior.
*Wear loose clothing especially if the weather is hot.
* Preferably collect the sample in the same location as the insemintion.
* Collect sample into container, knock on door of couple gently and hand sample through the door quietly. Go about your business and leave locking the door on your way out !

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou


Inseminator / Partner

*Prepare the room (this can be as little as drawing the curtains to going the whole hog with candles music etc. have tissues handy)
*Ensure the donation room is stocked
ie : tissues, collection container ( urine jar from chemist most commonly used ), magazines if your donor requests them.
*Get hot and heavy with your partner /inseminee.
*Go to door when donor knocks to hand over specimen.
*Draw up specimen(practice with a spare syringe in the days beforehand ). Carefully and slowly push syringe into vagina as far as you can aiming it a little downwards towards the spine.
*Gently and slowly push the plunger in while holding the syringe in place.Count to 10 , slowly remove the syringe and bin it.
*Help her achieve orgasm
*Insensitive types head for a smoke about now, but stay and chat/ snuggle with your partner, get her a drink or whatever, if you re going to leave her there on her own make sure she has everything she needs like a book to read.

Inseminee.

*Know your cycle, work out when you are ovulating.
*Go to toilet before starting (nothing worse than getting into something so important and needing to pee)
*Get undressed
*Lay on your back with hips/butt elevated on pillows.
*Get hot and heavy with your partner preferably get naturally wet !
*Guide your partner with the syringe. Lay still !
*After the deposit is made stay on your pillows and achieve orgasm with or without help.
*Stay in bed for at least 20 -30 mins afterwards
*Visualise the sperm entering the cervix, swimming across it and entering the fallopian tubes.
*Visualise the egg releasing from the ovaries, travelling down the fallopian tubes, See the sperm racing to meet the egg, penetrating it and fertilizing it.
*Visualise the embryo travelling down the fallopian tubes into the uterus, and implanting.
*look for pictures/information on conception so you know what is happening inside you. It's easier to imagine /visualise it then.
*After 30 mins getup and take it easy for a while.

The more relaxed and laid back the experience can be for everyone the better your chances.

This method actually has a higher success rate than clinic AI.

Of course there is much involved before getting to the point of insemination, but that's a whole lot of other posts LOL !
