A member asked:

With today's ovulation kits, why is artificial insemination still needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Different problems: Insemination is used to treat low or poor quality sperm counts in a male partner, or to provide sperm for women without partners. Ovulation kits predict timing of ovulation: they do not treat the same problems.
