What should I do? I am in a committed relationship with another woman. We are planning on having a baby within the next year or two. I found a doctor close by who specializes in infertilty (and people in my situation) but she only works with the california cryobank. This costs a lot of money for one vial of sperm ($450) and she told me she does three inseminations per cycle, which adds up to $1350 per month just for the sperm, not to mention doctor fees and shipping! Has anyone else out there had success with another method? I know some people say if im not willing to spend that money to get pregnant, then why have a child, which is ridiculous... And, please, no one respond with "just go have sex with a man, its free..." I am married, that is just wrong. I am just concerned that I will spend so much money on trying to get pregnant when there may be a cheaper way to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I live in the Chicago area...
I have known a few same sex couples who have used "known" donors. They simply have this man, uh, perform with a cup and then using a syringe without a needle inject the ejaculate into the vagina (trying as much as possible to get it near the cervix). However, that is only one option and not one that many people are comfortable with.
I would look into other cryobanks in the US. I had a friend whose husband is sterile and she had bought a vial for about 250-350 and only had one insem and she is due to deliver any day now.
I have also heard of some women buying frozen sperm and doing it at home! The cheapest way! The sperm is already "washed" so there is no chance of infection of the uterus...it may be something you would want to research. I don't really know much about it.
On a completely different note....3 insems? It sounds like your doctor is trying to milk you for money. I really see NO need for more than 2 insems in any cycle. Even in a medicated injections cycle to stimulate the ovaries the doctors only do 2 insems at the most (and that's with a husbands sperm!!) Something just doesn't seem right with all of that.
Take a tour of California Cryobank, find out a little more about what a sperm bank does and meet some of our wonderful employees.
Fake insemination, or AI, is the routine by which the spermatazoa donor is put in to the lady so which she can turn profound by equates to alternative than intercourse.

In cases where donor spermatazoa is used, the womanlike is the genetic mother’s conceiving physically as well as the brood produced, as well as the biological father or genetic brood is the masculine which donated the spermatazoa donor.
In the process, the spermatazoa donor who has been solidified as well as thawed, or creatively ejaculated semen of the donor is put in to the uterus of women (this healing procession is well well well known as the intrauterine insemination or IUI) or neck (what is well well well known as intrauterine insemination or cervical HERE) by fake methods.
Recent techniques used in fake insemination in humans were initial done accessible to the association of dairy cattle to acquire the vast series of profound cows with semen the donor of the longhorn which had the characteristics of increasing prolongation of milk.
At California Cryobank, in vitro fertilization or IVF as well as fake insemination, healing processes which have been formed upon the series of factors, such as semen from the donor as well as as the procession prescribed by step credentials step. The spermatazoa bank which hopes to allege formulation will assistance have the routine reduction costly, reduction stressful as well as most easier.
Because fake insemination as well as in vitro fertilization requires the series of stages, patients can simply turn overwhelmed. California Cryobank is committed to creation patients feel during palliate as most as possible, in vast partial which assent of thoughts can be gained by meaningful what will start in the healing procession When the lady releases an egg. (Eggs) as well as spermatazoa in the spermatazoa donor or spermatazoa of the masculine partner of the lady is placed in the uterus or vagina. This spermatazoa can be solidified as well as thawed or creatively ejaculated. donor semen used in fake insemination is still solidified as well as quarantined prior to use. In cases where fake insemination vaginal is ostensible to occur, the spermatazoa donor is routinely placed in the vagina by regulating the syringe needle which has not. A “cat” is the prolonged blood vessel which can be continuous to the syringe to safeguard which the semen is deposited in the vagina. The lady is customarily pronounced to relax as well as distortion down for thirty mins or some-more to safeguard which semen does not come in as well as leave fertilization occurs. Another approach which fake insemination is carried out involves the investiture of partner or donor spermatazoa in the vagina of the womanlike by the singular top structured cervix.
