"Generally, when we need medical intervention, we look for the most effective option. If we need cancer treatment, most of us don't think twice about doing all we can to get rid of the cancer; we also take medicine to control our cholesterol or anything else that seems off balance. You may be thinking, "Well, those things are potentially life-threatening." Ok, then what about getting a cast if we break a bone rather than letting it heal on its own?"
"* IVF is expensive but donor sperm is also expensive, and multiple home insemination, or IUI attempts, can add up. * 1 in 6 people struggle with infertility, and infertility does not discriminate. Just because you need sperm does not mean that there are no other issues. Many people start home insemination, not realizing that they may have significant scar tissue in their uterus or that their tubes could be blocked"
Struggling to conceive creates stress that can impair clear decision-making. Fertility treatment choices often follow a least-invasive-first approach, unlike many other medical decisions where the most effective option is chosen. IVF and donor sperm are both expensive, and repeated home inseminations or IUI attempts can cumulatively cost as much as more advanced treatments. One in six people experience infertility, and infertility affects people regardless of background. Hidden reproductive problems such as uterine scar tissue or blocked fallopian tubes can make home insemination ineffective. Oocyte quality declines with time, so delays using less effective methods can reduce IVF success rates.
