insemination questions!?

janel

question!! i’m doing at home insemination this month, and i’ve already done 3 so far during this fertile period… but i have some worries getting into my head.

i’ve read SO much about how long sperm lives outside the body, and i’ve read conflicting things. in a cup i’ve heard 30 minutes, to 2 hours. in general, i’ve heard everything from a few minutes from ejaculation, to hours.

in my case, sterile cups have been used, and majority have transfers have been made 30-45 minutes before insemination. i’m worried that perhaps it won’t take because of this. or maybe i’m over worrying? am i doing everything right?
