Has anyone done home insemination? I am planning to do it as a back-up when I do my two IUI procedures, but unsure how to prepare the donor sperm I'll be using. Do I just let it thaw out?

I think my doctor would be offended if I told him about my plans, but seeing that washed sperm has a shorter life-span and timing with ovulation is everything, I'd like to give it a try. I really beleive that I did not ovulate in time when I did my last IUIs.
