Having always known that she wanted to start a family before 30, and after marrying her partner Brittany in 2018, the pair became parents three years ago, with the donor they used (found via a dating-style app, JustABaby) offering to help again down the line should they so choose.The cup is inserted into the vagina and positioned near the cervix to collect and hold sperm, providing a safe and secure environment for the sperm to travel towards the egg. Ideally you want something that has a fairly wide opening, making it an easy target for the donor, but that is also not too deep to ensure absorption into the syringe goes smoothly.

Although this device may be a useful solution for some couples, where an identifiable cause of subfertility exists (such as tubal blockage), it would not be of any use.Many individual factors go into successful conception but with more affordable at-home options, more people might be able to give it a try. ICI has been shown to have 50% efficacy over six cycles of treatment, and was recently included in the Nice clinical guidelines alongside IUI and IVF.
