Many of my patients conceived after self insemination. You should try 4-6 cycles of self insemination before planning for IUI, provided both of you are confident and comfortable. You should check ovulation by LH kit. When it becomes positive, do self insemination for next 48-72 hours. Please use separate clean collection container every time and discard after simgle use.
