The most comprehensive at-home insemination kit available. Includes all three MakeAMom devices (Impregnator, BabyMaker, CryoBaby), fertility supplements, ovulation and pregnancy test strips, and a detailed guide. Designed for maximum versatility across fresh and frozen samples.
Combines a precision syringe with an integrated soft cup delivery system that holds sperm directly at the cervix. Eliminates the 90%+ waste that comes with traditional soft cup methods. Ideal for fresh donor or partner samples.
Engineered with an ultra-gentle insertion profile specifically for women with vaginismus or heightened sensitivity. Features a distilled water flush tip for comfortable, stress-free insemination at home.
Purpose-built for frozen or low-volume sperm bank samples. The barrel-free tip design achieves near-zero waste, meaning every drop of your expensive cryopreserved specimen reaches its destination.
FDA-cleared syringe-style kit available at major retailers like CVS. Simple two-syringe design with a patented slit-opening tip. Good entry-level option, though limited to basic syringe delivery without cervical positioning.
Budget-friendly option from the trusted Frida Baby brand. Available at Target. Includes a collection cup and applicator. Simple design but lacks advanced features like cervical positioning or specimen preservation.
Includes a soft conception cup paired with ovulation strips. The cup-based approach can help keep sperm near the cervix, but the kit lacks the precision syringe technology found in higher-ranked options.
Minimalist syringe kit with sleek branding. Straightforward and easy to use, but the basic syringe design doesn't offer anything beyond what you'd find with medical-grade syringes at a fraction of the price.
Australian-made specimen collection cups. Useful as a supplementary collection tool, but not a complete insemination solution on its own. Best paired with a dedicated insemination device.

Expert-backed guides to help you on your conception journey.
Everything you need to know about ICI at home, from timing ovulation to choosing the right kit and maximizing your chances.
A clear breakdown of costs, success rates, and comfort levels between at-home ICI and clinic-based IUI procedures.
We analyzed published studies and real user data to give you honest numbers on ICI success rates by age, timing, and method.
IVF costs $15,000–$20,000 per cycle. Clinic-based IUI runs $1,000–$4,000. Most insurance plans don't cover either. And if you're a single woman, a same-sex couple, or simply can't take time off work for clinic appointments — the traditional fertility path wasn't designed with you in mind.
Every month that passes costs you more than money. After 32, fertility declines 3–5% per year. The clock doesn't wait for your savings account to catch up.
"I sat in that fertility clinic and heard '$15,000 per cycle, no guarantees.' I drove home and cried in my car for an hour. I thought my dream of being a mom was over." — Jessica Morales, Founder
Intracervical insemination (ICI) uses the same science as clinic-based procedures — at a fraction of the cost. At-home ICI kits range from $59 to $299. Per-cycle success rates of 10–15% are comparable to clinic IUI. And you do it in the privacy and comfort of your own home.
Thousands of single women, LGBTQ+ couples, and couples facing fertility challenges have built their families this way. It's not a shortcut. It's the same science — without the gatekeeping.

Yes, intracervical insemination (ICI) at home is considered safe when using a quality kit designed for the purpose. The process is non-invasive and does not require any medical training. However, always consult your healthcare provider before beginning, especially if you have known fertility issues.
Success rates for at-home ICI are comparable to clinic-based ICI, averaging 10-15% per cycle for women under 35 using fresh sperm. Rates vary based on age, timing, sperm quality, and the kit used. Most women who conceive via ICI do so within 3-6 cycles.
At-home insemination kits range from $59 to $299, making them dramatically more affordable than IVF ($15,000-$30,000 per cycle) or clinic IUI ($500-$4,000 per cycle). Even after multiple cycles, ICI remains a fraction of the cost of clinical treatments.
Yes, several kits are designed specifically for frozen sperm. The MakeAMom CryoBaby Kit is purpose-built for cryopreserved specimens with near-zero waste. When using frozen sperm, you will need to order ICI-ready (unwashed) vials from a sperm bank and follow proper thawing procedures.
ICI (intracervical insemination) places sperm at the cervix and can be done at home. IUI (intrauterine insemination) places washed sperm directly into the uterus and must be done in a clinic. ICI is less invasive, far less expensive, and has comparable success rates for many couples.
Some FDA-cleared kits like Mosie Baby are FSA/HSA eligible. Check with your specific plan, as eligibility varies. Even without FSA/HSA coverage, at-home insemination kits are significantly more affordable than clinic-based alternatives.
