Has anyone tried getting pregnant with the sperm in the jar theory?

This still seems like an interesting idea but I wondered if anyone had tried? Was wondering if we dtd the night before, incubated sperm overnight and inserted it early morning, say an hour before getting up for a few days around ovulation. Wouldn't be 12 hours in hour house but could probably manage 6-7. Could insert a dose of acijel after sample collection to bring ph back down and all arousal fluid should be dried up by then.

Would this work? Obviously doing diet and supplements as well but not using the lime as I understand ph goes down after that time period.

no one has tried it yet.  Last I heard people were still experimenting.  This is based on a book that said people were doing this to ttc a girl

If I was going to incubate I think I'd rather do swim up which has more research to back it up. I'm not saying the jar thing doesn't work but I'd rather try something that's been studied a little more for myself.

Yup swim up has lots of studies backing it up.  The jar has one book that i cant find and so it is hear say

Hi ,

I was thinking of doing the jar theory and then SU.  What do you think?

I did the experiment last week and the sample still had a few live sperm after 22 hours!  I haven't experimented doing it with SU yet.  That'll be next.

 

I'm the one (I think) who first mentioned the jar study. I had been borrowing the book Holistic Midwifery by Anne Frye from a friend and just returned it. The author briefly mentions the jar study. The book is very technical and detailed and well-researched in other ways, so I assume she has accurate data re: jar study.  I still have the bibliography typed out on my computer of the chapter that mentions the jar study if anyone wants it. But out of the bibliography, I don't see any reference to the jar study. Also, I emailed the author for a copy of the study but haven't heard back.  If we ever ttc again (we already have 3 and are feeling done), I would probably want to ttc g this way.

It just seems so easy compared to SU. TBM is complex enough and I suspect my attempts at that are far from perfect (keep falling asleep once splime is in). It may be worth a try but I was hoping someone else had been a guinea pig. I dug out my fathers old microscope today so I might try playing with DH's sperm one day when I have a day to check it every few hours and make a decision after that. DH just laughed when I told him but was helping me dig out the microscope so maybe he'll play along.

Keep us informed in what you find!
