Are At-Home Inseminations Right for You? Learn with Maureen Brown, Founder of Mosie Baby

Written By Lora Shahine, MD

Trying is supposed to be the fun part, right? Ask anyone struggling with infertility and they may share that intimacy can start to feel like a job after a while. Many fertility patients have found that at home inseminations can be an option for trying to conceive at home.

At home inseminations are not that same as intrauterine inseminations in a fertility clinic and cannot substitute for consults, testing, and guidance from a reproductive endocrinologist but they can be an option to consider at a first line treatment, those that have difficulty with intimacy, and some people using frozen donor sperm from a sperm bank.

On this episode of Baby or Bust, Dr. Lora Shahine is talking all about at-home inseminations with Mauren Brown, founder of Mosie Baby. The Mosie Baby Kit for At-Home Insemination is the first FDA-cleared insemination syringe kit, and it has helped over 100,000 people access a fertility option that can take place in the comfort of their own home. 

Dr. Shahine and Maureen discuss the inspiration of Mosie Baby, how the syringe is designed, who might benefit from this option, and the future of at-home insemination.
