Hi Diana!!
If you are in Greece, the very best resource I can recommend to you is Dr. Panos Zavos. He is a contributor to Home Made Babies and is the only doctor I know of that can supply all the necessary supplies to do sperm wash, analysis and IUI at home. There are other suppliers but, for the most part, you either have to order large quantities or kind of piece everything together.
Dr. Zavos' website is [url]http://www.zdlinc.com[/url]
Dr.Zavos does business in Greece so it would probably be the surest and easiest way to get supplies within the country. Try these links for Dr. Zavos: [url]http://www.zdlinc.net/productcart/

For vaginal speculums, dry bath heater blocks (for keeping everything at body temp during sperm wash), gloves, saline, etc, just Google medical and lab supplies. I bought all the durable equipment like heater, microscope and centrifuge from online auction sites.
Zavos labs supplies a complete at-home IUI kit including the swim up chamber for sperm wash, syringe and IUI catheter. You would also need the sperm prep solution to do the sperm wash, sterile saline and sterile gloves for the IUI. If you choose to do a sperm count you would need a counting chamber or a microscope and hemocytometer. For analysis, you can send the sample to a lab (Zavos does this, as do several other labs. See the resources link on my website at [url]http://www.babyinabasket.net/HomeMa

or do it yourself with a staining kit and microscope. For instructions on doing the analysis I recommend the book [i] Practical Laboratory Andology[/i] which you can find on Amazon. com or any other online bookstore.
I'd love to hear more of your story and what brought you to explore at-home treatment. Feel free to email me.
