<h1>How many vials of sperm are needed for ICI (home insemination)?</h1>
At Cryos, we recommend you <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-order/how-much-sperm-to-order/">order two or more straws of MOT10</a> or higher for ICI treatment. ICI treatment is the simplest form of assisted reproduction and can be performed in your own home as <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/home-insemination/">home insemination</a> or at a fertility clinic.
When <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/blog/ordering-sperm-home-insemination/">ordering donor sperm for home insemination</a>, we recommend adding a <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-order/reserving-your-order/">reservation for extra straws</a> to make sure that you have enough sperm for the entire treatment.
<h2>What sperm quality is needed for home insemination?</h2>
For home insemination, we recommend you order two or more MOT10 sperm straws. If you are going to purchase donor sperm for home insemination, we recommend you follow the link to our blog post &ldquo;<a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/blog/home-insemination-process/">How to make home insemination successful</a>&rdquo;.
<h2>What is the success rate of ICI?</h2>
The <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/blog/benefits-to-using-home-insemination/">success rate of home insemination</a> is slightly lower than the <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/blog/iui-success-rates/">success rates of IUI treatment</a>, but ICI also comes at a lower cost. According to this <a href="https://www.verywellfamily.com/what-is-the-iui-success-rate-1960191" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a>, the success rate for IUI is around 18 % per cycle for women under 30 and the rate proportionately declines with age.
