The Mezzo - Insemination Kit

How to Use The Mezzo Insemination Kit

The Mezzo Kit is designed to support you through 6 at-home insemination cycles. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you make the most of each item in your kit — all rooted in real-life experience and careful planning.

Timing is everything!

Begin testing your LH (Luteinizing Hormone) levels using the included 30 ovulation test strips a few days before you expect to ovulate. For most people, that’s around Day 10 of your cycle if you have a typical 28-day cycle.

How to use:

1. Dip the strip in your urine sample collected in one of the specimen cups.

   Let it sit flat for about 5 minutes.

   A strong test line (as dark or darker than the control line) means your LH surge is happening — ovulation is likely within 12–36 hours.

   Plan to inseminate the same day and again the next day for best results.

💡 Tip: Test twice a day (mid-morning and evening) around your fertile window to catch the surge.

When you’re ready to inseminate:

1. Have your donor or partner collect a fresh semen sample into one of the sterile specimen cups.

   Let the sample sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes. This allows the semen to liquefy and makes it easier to draw into the syringe.

Using one of the 6 round-tipped syringes (gentle and easy to use):

1. Gently draw up the semen sample. Avoid introducing air bubbles by pulling slowly.

   The round tip makes the process smoother and more comfortable for insemination.

Using one of the 6 round-tipped syringes (gentle and easy to use):

1. Find a comfortable, relaxed position (we recommend lying on your back with hips slightly elevated).

   Gently insert the syringe and slowly release the semen near the cervix.

   After insemination, remain lying down for 15–30 minutes.

To help keep the semen close to the cervix and reduce leakage, you can insert:

1. A disposable Softdisc, or

   A reusable Origin disc (if you chose that option)

Insert the disc gently and ensure it’s properly placed behind the pubic bone. It can be worn for several hours post-insemination.

You’ve done the important part. Try to relax, hydrate, and take care of yourself over the next couple of weeks. No need to remove the disc early — it can be worn comfortably and discreetly.

About 10–14 days after ovulation, use one of the 6 included HCG pregnancy test strips to check for early pregnancy.

1. Use a first morning urine sample for the most accurate result.

   Dip the strip in a specimen cup and wait for 3–5 minutes.

   Two lines = potential positive. One line = not yet.
