Hi, my partner and I are TTC our 2nd babe. The problem is, we currently live separately (he lives in at work and I live with our baby and my parents). We have no time at all for sex (we managed it once on day 9 last month and I'm not pregnant, unsurprisingly) as he lives with lots of people and we can only consider having sex once our baby is in bed, and if we were staying with him baby Roo would be asleep in OHs bedroom, the only place we could have sex. Sometimes OH stays with his mother, but she's there so we can only have sex when she's away. And at my house its also impossible as Roo is still in my room (we co-sleep) so when he's in bed we can't go and DTD there either. We have a holiday coming up but I'll be on CD 16 on the day we arrive so I can't see us conceiving that month either.
Anyway, I'm rambling, I've decided to try At Home Artificial Insemination, that way OH can give me a sample and I can go and do it in the bathroom (there goes the fun bit
My question was, how long will OHs sperm sample last until I can get it inside? Will he have to produce it when he gets to me or could he do it at home? Can I preserve it by putting it in an incubator of some sort? (If so what?) What's the best receptacle to put it in? I'm really new to all ths and to be honest I'm a bit clueless.
Also, should I use a syringe to put it in and then put my legs up or should I try a mooncup/instead cups?
HELP! All advice appreciated
