IUI by yourself

Has anyone done an IUI by themselves? My DH is probably going to be out of town the night I will need to inseminate and I was wondering if it was even possible to do an iui on your own. I've felt my own cervix a hundred times, how hard could it be to get the catheter in the hole??

    I did mine on my own. It was tricky, but I got my bfp. I just made sure I had everything laid out and ready to go. Balancing the flashlight was the trickiest lol. I know some people use headlamps. Good luck! :)

    I have my daughter from doing an IUI on my own. Maybe practice with a mirror and your speculum looking for the cervix before go time.

    Good call on the practicing ahead of time. I got everything set up and did a trial run tonight. It was pretty hilarious but I was able to see everything.
    Thanks!

    i did mine alone and found that is was worth the $20 from amazon to get a spetulum with a light on it..i can't begin to tell you how much that helped
