The Béa Treament
could work for you
The Béa Fertility Treatment Kit revolutionises a fertility treatment from the 70's called Intracervical Insemination – ICI. ICI is a proven, clinical-grade fertility treatment that can help you conceive.
The Béa Cervical Cap is the most important part of the treatment – it delivers the 'intracervical insemination' part of ICI. Béa's Cervical Cap is designed to hold semen at the opening of the cervix to encourage as many sperm cells as possible to enter the uterus. The Béa Cervical Cap arrives folded and ready to deploy inside the Béa Applicator, and has a handy removal string, much like a tampon string
The cervix is located at the back of the vaginal canal, and is not easy to reach without a little help. The Béa Applicator works like a tampon applicator, precisely placing the Béa Cervical Cap at the cervix for the highest efficacy. The Béa Applicator comes fitted with a funnel, designed for pouring semen down into the Béa Cervical Cap (folded within the applicator) without spillage.
No hormone injections. No clinical visits. No complicated medical procedures. Béa's ICI is design to be used from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
There are lots of reasons people can't or don't want to have intercourse to conceive. Béa's ICI is a simple alternative that doesn't require you to have intercourse to get pregnant.
No waitlists. Fast shipping. Treatment delivered to your door. Wherever you are in your fertility journey, ICI can help you conceive right where you are: at home.
The Béa Applicator is our custom made medical device, designed to help you perform Intracervical Insemination (ICI) at-home.

Your Health and Fertility
We asked you about all of the most common conditions that can impact fertility and therefore the chance of conceiving with the Béa Treatment.
You answered yes to having at least one of the conditions listed below.
Click on the relevant condition to find out more.
Intracervical insemination can be a good treatment option for mild adenomyosis, however, due to the nature or adenomyosis and how it can affect the uterus in different ways, we cannot say with certainty that ICI will be effective in all cases of adenomyosis. If you are concerned you may have adenomyosis, speak to your GP.
Ovarian reserve is a term that is used to describe the capacity of the ovary to provide egg cells that are capable of fertilisation. Diminished Ovarian Reserve is the loss of normal reproductive potential in the ovaries due to a lower count or quality of the remaining eggs. If you suspect you may have low ovarian reserve, you may want to speak to your GP before trying to conceive. Ovarian reserve can be measured by some hormone tests, including the antimüllerian hormone (AMH), and you may need support from a fertility specialist to conceive. You can also email the Béa Care Team if you have any questions or concerns.
In short Intracervical insemination can be a good treatment option for mild endometriosis. However we have put together a fuller guide to help you understand your options and make a choice around your endometriosis:

Intracervical insemination can be a good treatment option for mild fibroids, or fibroids that have been treated in the past. However, due to the nature of fibroids and how they can grow in various parts of the uterus to different sizes, we cannot say with certainty that ICI will be effective in all cases of fibroids. If you are concerned you may have fibroids, speak to your GP.
In short Intracervical insemination can be a good treatment option for people with male factor infertility. However we have put together a fuller guide to help you understand your options and make a choice around your situation:

If you have PCOS and you know that you’re ovulating, then the Béa Treatment could be a good treatment option.

Intracervical insemination is an aid to insemination and is designed to increase your chances of getting pregnant. Increasing the likelihood of insemination is not correlated with reducing the risk of miscarriage. If you have experienced multiple miscarriages, you may be able to access investigations through your GP. We recommend you speak to your GP or a fertility specialist if you have any concerns.
The medical term for a blocked fallopian tube is a tubal occlusion. Tubal abnormalities occur when injury to the fallopian tube, usually from infection, causes the end of the fallopian to close, either partly or fully. The fallopian tubes are muscular tubes that are lined delicate hair-like structures. These “hairs” work in both directions; helping an egg to travel from the ovaries down to the womb (uterus) and helping sperm travel up from the womb. If one or both fallopian tubes are blocked or have any abnormalities then sperm might not be able to travel up in the fallopian tube(s) to reach the egg in order to fertilise it. ICI will not work if sperm cannot swim through the fallopian tubes. If you suspect you could have tubal occlusion or abnormalities, speak to your GP before trying to conceive. You can also email the Béa Care Team if you have any questions or concerns.
Vaginismus is a condition in which the vaginal canal contracts when trying to insert something into it. It is the body’s automatic reaction to some or all types of vaginal penetration. It is estimated that5-17% of women are affected by vaginismus. The Béa Applicator needs to be inserted into the vagina in order to place a cervical cap near the cervix. If you have vaginismus and/or experience pain or difficulties inserting something into your vagina, the Béa Applicator may not be suitable. Speak to your GP or email the Béa Care Team if you have any concerns.
The Béa Care Team is not a replacement for you GP. However our medical experts can help you understand more about the impact of your conditions on the Béa Treatment, help you work out if it is right for you and advise on alternative options.
Today, there just isn't enough peer-reviewed evidence on intracervical insemination (ICI) to give you an exact estimate based on your personal situation.
However evidence shows that ICI carries less risk than a clinical fertility treatment called Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), and there are multiple studies proving that ICI gives similar results.
The results of your Online Consultation tell us that Intracervical Insemination (ICI) is medically safe for you, and the Béa Treatment has a good chance of supporting you on your conception journey.
