My wife and I are atill trying to conceive,are there any tips anyone can give us?
I used a syringe and then a soft cup just to hold everything in place... best of luck x
Hi Girls,
My wife & I used a known donor. Did the insemination at home, with a normal sterile 10ml syringe and a soft cup to try and minimise loss.
We're 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow. It worked for us first try.
What I will say, is I knew my cycle like the back of my hand. I tracked my ovulation for 6months prior to trying, and I firmly believe that made the difference.
Remember, sperm lives 72hrs (can live more, but I'm giving text book) and the egg will only survive 24hrs post ovulation. So, the trick is...inseminate 2 days before ovulation, 1 day before, and on the day of ovulation for best chances.
Good luck!!
your surge is the prediction that ovulation is due, they do say you have a 48hr window in that time until ovulation.. I'm not sure that's always the case as I felt I ovulated on the night of my first LH+ day.. but even then you still have time ..I think its eight hours once the egg is released.. if you have donation on either of your surge days I would say your covering it...Hi Girls,

Once the surge arrives can the egg come out? Or is it when the surge has gone it comes out? I think we are missing it!!!
