At 27, Alyssa Garrison decided she was going to become a mother, with or without a romantic partner.
Dr. Sherry Ross, an obstetrician-gynecologist and women's health specialist, previously told
that a DivaCup or menstrual cups can definitely help someone's efforts to conceive, explaining that a menstrual cup filled with sperm allows it to move in only one direction towards the egg."Sperm has to get to the egg, one way or another," Toronto-based Dr. Sarah Cook told HuffPost Canada."The DivaCup method seems to work because of the fewer container transfers compared to other methods and the quicker sperm gets to an egg, the less margin for error .
"And, you want to make sure the sperm donor is appropriately screened for infectious or medical diseases. Only a sperm bank has authority to do this," Kashyap told HuffPost Canada. "I'm not saying it's a terrible idea but I think it requires thoughtful counselling to get perspective of all the things that can potentially happen with the donor as well."
Garrison didn't consult with a doctor for this particular method but felt fairly confident in the tools she had at her disposal: a DivaCup, doggedness and hope, and a sperm-donating friend who signed a contract giving up all parental rights.While she'd like to keep the details of the actual process private, she felt fairly comfortable executing the insemination because"it all just made sense" to her.
