Frequently Asked:
Timing, Tracking & Sperm Preparation
Can I use sperm that’s been refrigerated or frozen?
Can I use sperm that’s been refrigerated or frozen?
Yes, as long as it has been properly thawed following medical guidance.
Should I inseminate before or after my LH peak?
Should I inseminate before or after my LH peak?
Best results usually come from inseminating the day of your LH surge and the day after, as these are the 1–2 days before ovulation.
How long does sperm live inside the body after insemination?
How long does sperm live inside the body after insemination?
Sperm can survive 3–5 days after insemination, but they’re most active in the first 1–2 days — which is why timing around your fertile window matters.
What if my LH tests never show a strong positive?
What if my LH tests never show a strong positive?
Some people never get a dark peak. Test twice a day in your fertile window, and look for a rise-and-drop pattern. A lighter surge can still mean ovulation.
How do I know if I’ve actually ovulated?
How do I know if I’ve actually ovulated?
A positive LH test followed by fertile cervical mucus and a small rise in basal body temperature are the best signs. Only BBT confirms ovulation after it’s happened.
Can I conceive if I have PCOS or long cycles?
Can I conceive if I have PCOS or long cycles?
Yes — many people with PCOS or irregular cycles have conceived using our kit. You’ll need to monitor ovulation more closely, but it’s possible.
How long should I wait to take a pregnancy test?
How long should I wait to take a pregnancy test?
Wait at least 12–14 days after insemination. Testing too early can lead to false negatives (or false hope).
What if my cycle is irregular?
What if my cycle is irregular?
Irregular cycles are common. Use ovulation strips, cervical mucus monitoring, and temperature tracking over a few months to find your fertile window.
How should I store sperm before insemination?
How should I store sperm before insemination?
If collecting at home, keep the container close to the body (e.g., in a pocket) and use it as soon as possible.
When is the best time to inseminate?
When is the best time to inseminate?
The ideal time is 12–24 hours after a positive ovulation test (LH surge). That’s when your egg is most likely to be present.
How do I know if I’ve actually ovulated?
How do I know if I’ve actually ovulated?
A positive LH test followed by fertile cervical mucus and a small rise in basal body temperature are the best signs. Only BBT confirms ovulation after it’s happened.
