FAQs
Can I use this whilst waiting for NHS fertility tests or treatment?
Of course! We understand there can be quite a delay in accessing investigations or treatment under the NHS and we designed the Béa Treatment Kit with this in mind, so that you can feel like you are doing something to optimise your chances of conceiving while you wait. As we do not use any hormones or medications the Béa Treatment will have no negative effect on any NHS fertility treatment or tests.
Are there any free fertility tests on the NHS?
Yes there are! Typically your own GP would offer tests to look at your hormone levels including Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) on days 2-5 of your menstrual cycle, along with your progesterone level around day 21 (for those with a 28 day cycle). This provides insight into whether your ovaries and uterus are preparing for ovulation and potential pregnancy effectively. Your GP can also arrange semen analysis to look at the health of your partner or donor sperm and order further investigations including prolactin levels, thyroid function and in some cases your Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) which looks at your ovarian reserve or number of eggs along with an Ultrasound Scan.
How do I use the Béa Treatment kit?
The Bea treatment kit is an easy to use and affordable self insemination kit. The kit includes instructions for use, two semen collection pots and two Béa Applicators that help get the cervical cap in place. Here's a breakdown of using the kit at home:
- Track ovulation
- Use the applicator when you have a positive ovulation test
- Use the second applicator on the following day
- Test for pregnancy
Can I get the Béa Treatment Kit from my own GP?
We are currently working on providing access to the Béa Treatment Kit via GP's in the UK. At the moment we are only able to support a small number of localities but in time we will be looking to expand out across the country, so watch this space! In the meantime why not discuss with your own GP about available nhs fertility checks and treatments in your area. You can find our helpful guide on discussing fertility options with your own GP here.
Is the Béa Applicator easy to use?
Yes! One of the things we hear most from our users is how easy their insemination kit has been to use. The Béa Applicator makes it very easy to perform diy insemination at home, and is specially designed to help you place semen onto the cervix.
Why is the Béa Treatment more expensive than a syringe?
The Béa Applicator, Insemination Kit and Treatment Program has been developed by experts and clinicians, with over 3 years of research and development going into designing the optimum insemination kit for intracervical insemination at home. Each treatment kit contains 2x Béa Applicators and semen containers, for a clinical technique called double insemination, and the entire Béa Treatment Program is supported by embryologists and doctors, available to you on email 7 days a week. All of this costs more to build and deliver than a syringe. But... our mission at Béa is making fertility care affordable, which is why you can buy 6 cycles of the Béa Treatment Kit for less than the cost of 1 cycle of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), an invasive clinical treatment with fairly similar efficacy.
