How much sperm do I need to order for home insemination

Cryos

Text

The recommended amount of sperm for <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/home-insemination/">home insemination</a> is a ml containing at least 10million to 19million motile sperm cells. Since Cryos straws are 0.5ml each, purchasing two straws MOT10 would accumulate to the recommended amount and motility.
Although we strongly recommend purchasing two straws MOT10 or higher, the final decision is always yours, and you are welcome o buy a single straw or ask your doctor for what they would recommend based on your specific case.
When purchasing two straws, Cryos advice is that you inseminate with the first straw around twelve hours after you get a positive test for <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/blog/learn-about-ovulation/">ovulation</a>. The second straw would be used twelve hours after the first insemination. If you are going to use home insemination, then we can recommend you to read our blog post on <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/blog/home-insemination-process/">how to make home insemination successful</a>.
For home insemination, either ICI or IUI straws are fine to purchase. Usually, ICI straws are used for home insemination and IUI is used for other fertility treatments such as IVF; however, using IUI straws is completely fine and would not have any influence on the procedure.
