Hi welcome to HEALTHCAREMAGIC.
i have gone through your question.
As your husband suffers from phimosis then I would advise that it should be treated surgically with operation. As phimosis also causes urinary infection sometimes.
But it doesnot affect chances of conceiving.
No you can not do IUI intra uterine insemination at home, for that proper setup is necessary, otherwise chance of success rate decreased.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
