Can I artificially inseminate myself at home?
Home inseminations have been discontinued for the following reasons:
- Insemination Procedure
- Traceability of donor offspring
- General lack of experience to perform the procedure
- Risk of anaphylactic shock
- Inability to treat/assist the recipient should an emergency situation develop
Artificial insemination procedures
As a recipient you can elect which insemination procedure you wish to engage with through guidance from your health care professional, or one of our consulting doctors or senior medical technologists.
The following procedures would be considered based on the advice of your fertility specialist:
Aspiration: This procedures involves removing the eggs from the ovary via a minimally invasive surgery / laparoscopically, and fertilising it with the introduction of a sperm sample outside the body in a test tube.
IVF: In-vitro fertilisation A harvested egg is fertilised with sperm under a microscope. If the incubation is successful, the fertilised egg is returned to the uterus.
ICSI: Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection A single sperm is injected into a single egg cell in order to precipitate fertilisation.
What are the success rates? Global success rates of 25% regardless of type of treatment are recorded. These success rates vary from clinic to clinic for the following reasons:
- Age of the recipient
- Individual patient profiles
- Reason for infertility
