One thing you'll need/want to have no matter which way you're ttc (trying to conceive) is an hpt. After that 10+ days wait you'll be glad you have one of these. You can get them at any grocery store but I recommend buying in bulk at www.early-pregnancy-test.com or on eBay. Hpts measure the amount of LH in your urine. Not all tests are created equal; they measure a different amount per test. You can find some as sensitive as 10mlU which is just barely pregnant. Doctors don't even consider you pregnant until after 5mlU. These will have to be purchased online and are fairly cheap. Remember to use fmu and the lower the hcg level tested for the sooner you can test. Wait at least ten days b4 your first test. Also keep in mind hcg levels double ever two days do unless you are using a very sensitive test wait a day or so b4 testing again.
Now for those doing in-home ici something you have to have (unless using a bank) is some form of collection container. You may use a collection condom or sample cup to hold the seamen. Most important is to make sure it is clean.
Again for in-home ici as well as ici you will need a needless syringe. This will allow you to get the sperm where it needs to be once collected or taken from the thawed vial.
Another good thing to have is a sperm safe lube. I recommend preseed. It's also raved about on many ttc and pregnancy forums. Even if not traditionally baby dancing some women prefer to suck up a little b4 and after the seamen to make sure the not to lose any in the syringe when inseming. This also works great as a normal lube even if not ttcing. You can purchase this at most drug stores as well as online.
For all of you ttcers these are good positions to bdance and/or lay in for no more than 30min unless going to sleep after. Keeping your hips up helps to insure the sperm gets to where it needs to be. For the traditional ttcers its more important to enjoy yourself and your partner during and just relax in this position after.
