Hey there! Great question! We recommend starting the home insemination process at the first sign of ovulation (or within 12-18 hours after that initial signal). Then, use the second syringe with another sample 18 to 24 hours later.
It’s crucial to try to conceive before ovulation takes place. The sperm needs time to travel through your body to reach the egg, and you want those little swimmers ready and waiting when the egg is released from the Fallopian tube.

Summary
Start using the home insemination kit at the first sign of ovulation for the best chances of conception. Timing is key, and having sperm available when the egg is released can make all the difference.
