Artificial insemination is an infertility treatment that involves placing sperm near the cervix or directly in the uterus. You can have this performed at a doctor’s office, or you can do it yourself at home with a needleless syringe, sometimes called the turkey baster method. Does at-home insemination really involve a turkey baster, though?

IS IT BETTER THAN SEX?
Success rates for artificial insemination are the same as having intercourse. So, it is a myth that you’ll get pregnant from a turkey baster, but it’s not a myth that you can get pregnant without having sex.
The proven way to get pregnant without having sex
When artificial insemination is done at the fertility clinic, the procedure will typically be intrauterine insemination (IUI). In IUI, sperm that has been washed and concentrated is inserted directly in the uterus. This is done at the time of ovulation, with the aim that the sperm will swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize a waiting egg.
You can opt to perform artificial insemination at home, though, placing the sperm near the cervix as opposed to in the uterus. This is called intracervical insemination, or ICI. As with IUI, it’s vital to do the procedure when you’re ovulating. You will need to purchase an at-home insemination kit, but, contrary to what popular media might imply, the syringe you’ll use is not the same as a turkey baster.
