Brigette, You will need a collection setup. I use the soft plastic inserts for Playtex baby bottles. You will also need a pipette and a 10 cc syringe, preferably the kind with no rubber inside, as rubber can be toxic to sperm. You will most likely need the little connector between the pipette and the syringe. You will also need sterile saline solution as even the small drop of water left in the pipette can kill the sperm. Or....you could do this the easy way and email me privately with your address and I'll send you a set up. I like the supplies I have ordered from the same place that will freeze the sperm, the ICSB or something like that. If you have a microscope, or have a friend who has one, it is also a good idea to put a tiny drop of sperm on a slide and check it prior to insemination. Since you and I last saw each other, I have made myself learn all about this procedure and have gotten really popular with my boys. LOL Myra
