The steps


Once ovulation has been indicated, you will schedule a time in the next 24 hours to go into your fertility doctor’s office so to complete the procedure.  First off your wonderful hubby will need to give his swimmers to the doctor’s office so they can prep them for the procedure. They have to separate the sperm from the rest of the semen because if this is not done, it can cause massive cramping in the uterus. If you live close enough to the doctor’s office they may allow this to be collected at home but if not, it can be done right there in the office.
About two hours after the semen has been collected it is now the woman’s turn. Frankly I think the guys have the easy part. The woman the will then undress from the waist down, laydown on the exam table and then her feet will be placed in a set of stirrups.  This allows for easier access. This procedure may or may not be done by the actual doctor. In fertility clinic many of the nurses are trained on how to do an insemination.
The sperm will have been placed in a sterile syringe that will have a long tube attached to it. This tube will then be inserted into the uterus were the sperm will be injected. The woman will then be required to lie on her back for about 15 min to make sure that the sperm stays in. After the waiting period, she is free to leave and instructed to take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks.
