At Home IUI
Affirming Care, From the Start
Unmedicated, low-intervention Intrauterine Insemination (IUI),
offered right in the comfort of your own home, or Connie's home office.
Families can be created in so many ways, and I enthusiastically offer one of them. I provide culturally relevant and affirming midwifery care for those who want a more individualized and intimate experience from their fertility journey.
95% of most individuals become pregnant with IUI within 4 cycles.
We can schedule as many IUI's as you would like in a cycle surrounding peak fertility. Some people also choose to do a mixture of ICI/IVI independently (I recommend the Mosie Baby kit) and IUI, which is also an option.
Intrauterine Insemination can be a good option for someone who is trying to conceive without known fertility issues, and can be a helpful resource for:
-
Single by choice individuals
-
Queer/LGBTQIA2S+ couples
-
Traditional surrogates (surrogacy that uses the surrogate's egg, which is a legal option in Wisconsin) and intended parents
-
Couples who are wanting a more statistically likely way of becoming pregnant

On Call for You:
Timing is the biggest factor in conception success rates. IUI needs to occur within 24 hours of when ovulation occurs. The cycle may be a naturally occurring ovulation cycle or can involve the use of oral medications like Clomid© or Letrozole© to stimulate egg development. With your tracking, we will decide on the best time to do IUI based on the number of IUI's you would like to do in a cycle.
During your cycle you will have access to me during daytime hours to ask questions, and at all hours if you need to let me know when ovulation occurs.

FAQ
What's the difference between IUI/ICI/IVI?
View More
-
Intravaginal Insemination (IVI): ejaculate is placed in the vaginal canal, sperm doesn’t need to be washed. Can be done by anyone with the proper tools.
-
Intracervical Insemination (ICI): ejaculate is placed in the vaginal canal in/at the cervix, sperm doesn’t need to be washed. Can be done by anyone with the proper tools.
-
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): requires washed sperm which is placed directly into the uterus with a thin/flexible sterile catheter. Although it isn’t complicated, it should not be performed by untrained medical professionals due to increased risks if not done correctly
FAQ
Does a sperm sample need to be washed?
View More
For IUI, yes. If you have acquired a frozen sample from a sperm bank, it can be washed before being sent to you, or I can wash the donor sperm. If you are using a fresh sample from a known donor, I can wash the sperm.
If planning on doing IVI or ICI, cervical mucus naturally filters sperm.
