Our guest this week is Tess Cosad, Co-founder and CEO of Béa Fertility, a fertility care startup that's developing safe, affordable treatments that can be carried out at home. Now in this episode there are a lot of acronyms so let's break it down: ICI - Intracervical Insemination: Intracervical insemination is a form of artificial insemination that involves keeping semen held against the cervix for an extended amount of time (usually 4-12 hours). IUI - Intrauterine Insemination: ICI involves waiting in the clinic for upwards of 4 hours until a physician can remove the cervical cap for you. With IUI, you can get up and go. It’s a lot more time-efficient, which is good. It’s also a lot more invasive and expensive, which is not so good So how does this impact fertility life in practice? We learn how using technology, fertility treatment can be done in the comfort at your own home! How? Listen to this episode to learn more.
