Hello all! My partner and I will be doing our first insemination in 1 month and we are very excited and nervous. We have debated for a few months on doing an IUI with our doctor or doing at home insemination. I'm hoping to find others that have tried one or the other and their success. If you used the at home insemination did you use a kit? Did your doctor provide you will the tools you needed? We finally selected a donor today and we have just about 2 weeks to make our decision final on insemination options. This is our first try at something like this.
We also saw that doctors were doing HSG tests prior. Our doctor hasn't suggested anything in addition to tracking ovulation and prenatal. Is this common practice?
I guess we are wanting to do this right and to halt delay any further than it has been with our insurance approvals. Any and all advise is welcome!

Our main concern about doing it at the office was that we wanted it to be a special, intimate moment. The first time, I stood next to the dr and watched her do the procedure because I was fascinated with the process, and Shannon stared at the white ceiling tiles. The second time, though, I stood at Shannon's side and we held hands and looked at each other. I'd like to think that it was that eye connection that made it work the 2nd time!
