Is a Self ICI any better than BD?

ICI with clomid or other ovarian stims may be slightly better than BD...

ICI vs. BD without ovarian stimulation... unclear if any difference:

Of note, we're talking about home ICI using "cups"

Well in chat we were talking about everything from the cups to the kits (we referred to them like turkey basters lol) I know I watch too much TV! lol

what does ici stand for? Maybe I need to try it?

Inter Cervical Insemination, like an IUI, but the semen is deposited at the Cervix.

how do you do that? hmmmmmm lol

They sell kits lol. But on made for TV movies, it is a turkey baster! lmao

haha MrsMiller- I was joking with my hubby the other day. I was like were going to buy a turkey baster and use the darn thing and see if it really works!!! haha but wouldnt his "man hood" inside work better than the baster??? I mean my DH has a normal sperm count and his S/A came back all normal- so what would the baster provide that his "man hood" isnt? hmmmm this is a GREAT topic! lol ;)

I think its just the idea of a (sorry this is going to be gross) lol big blob of semen being right at the cervix. I do not think anyone really does this tho....I would be afriad of getting an infection or putting it to close to the cervix & hurting it. But there are women that so self exams too, I couldnt lol. Im a germaphobe & I know my hands clean house, wipe a 3yr olds butt & everything else, so no matter how much I wash them, Im not putting anything there, but what is meant to be there, HUBBYS MANHOOD! lol & whatever a DR uses. lol

Oh i've done a 'self exam' trying to figure out if my cervix is low, high, hard, soft and I still cant figure it out.. lol Im not too much of a germaphobe. I mean Im a VERY CLEAN person but hey whatever will get my bean here is worth it right? lol

Yep, thats right lol. I dont think its about being clean, for me its about my age probably, lol. MY mom never would have discussed sex w me or anything. Im probably not as body aware as I could be. Now my kids tell me everything...& when I was put on a no sex restriction, my kids asked if that was included in my restrcitions...they both said "OMG Im glad I dont live at home anymore, Youre gonna be cranky!" lol SO Im sure its just a different time, lol.
