Hello, Hubz and I are going to inseminate at home. We are not using a catheder . Only a speculum and a needle less syringe. Should we purchase IUI vials or ICI vials. Please help. And how many hrs after a positive opk should we inseminate?

Yes, ICI. It gives you a larger sperm sample. There is a smaller sample in an IUI vial, because it is assumed that you will deposit it directly into the uterus. As far as when to inseminate, that's quite a large window. search this forum and you'll find hundreds of posts on it. It is entirely dependent on each woman and when she ovuates.

They really work just the same. They're a bit cheaper but they have less of a count in the vials.
IUI vials are supposed to be inserted into the uterus but you can use them for a regular home insemination.
As for timing, as the others have said, it all depends on you. If you have any details like a chart, share and folks will help you out!
Good luck!
