Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

Sorry to hear that 2mums, your OH sounds lovely, esp the way she cares so much what happens to all of us crazy goons on here!

Im sorry for your loss xx
 
So sorry 2 mums!! Give your OH a big kiss & cuddle from us all! Thinking of you both, just try your best to talk about it & be there for each other! Xxxxxxx

Yes, it is a fun story - especially when you have the end result in your tummy!!!!
 
OOOOH

Now i am dying to hear!!!!!

I only know of one other couple who have two little kids and they used the turkey baster each time!
 
ok, a lil birthday story for Lucy :rofl:

Part 1
Once upon a time, about 2 years ago, two girls wanted to make a baby! We found a website, its dedicated to men and women, gay, straight, lesbian, single that want to have a family. All situations included, egg donors, sperm donors, surrogacy, co -parenting etc. So we were looking at sperm donor profiles, we looked at heaps!! Narrowed it down and e-mailed a few and got more info. One stood out! (im cutting out months of decisions, emails, and agonizing over a very important decision) He lived in the NT. He was smart, funny, wise, caring, sociable, had a social conscience, kids of his own, had a law degree, worked with aboriginal communities, is now going back for a 2nd degree, he has an air of hippy/alternative too. He had the same skin colouring as OH, similar eyes, great hair, good build, and a similar heritage/background as OH. We have his medical history back to a baby, as well as his siblings, his parents, grandparents and even great grandparents - healthy as horses his lot! I've seen his family too, genetically good looking lot!!! So we contacted him and he was happy to help, he had lesbian friends who explained the sperm donors out there were slim to none, and very few quality ones, and being quality himself he stepped up. He's helped i think 3 plus us. (all girl babies btw) As our luck would have it, and stamped our decision, he was moving about 45 min away from us by the time we wanted to start trying so... perfection!
 
Yeah, i believe it was as simple as the baster combined with a couple of decent orgasms! You go girls i said!
 
Part 2
We met with him the first time, no ttc, just a chat and get to know, and how about we try to make this less awkward. He was awesome, no awkwardness, no weirdness, just normal and calm. I remember the night he left, OH and I looked at each other, with that "omg this is going to happen" look and we screamed!! hahaha. So I tried to figure out when i ovulated and tried for 7 cycles no luck, then took a break. So fast forward to July- we call him, text or facebook and let him know about when i'll be ovulating so he can mentally and physically prepare. We then book an accommodation near to him as to not inconvenience him or his family. (his eldest daughters are aware of what he does, and thinks its great. they've met us and told us we'd be great mums, too cute right?!?) So we go for a little TTC holiday! Byron bay area, not too shabby! We pack everything he needs and we need.

TMI- COMING UP
 
Part 3 - the good bits!! :rofl: :blush:
Sterile cups for him, and toys, lube, syringes, etc for us. This time we saw him 5 times in 4 days. He comes over, we have a bit of a chat, we're good friends at this point. Then he goes into the bedroom and masturbates into the sterile cup and leaves it by the bedside. We have a goodbye chat and a nice hug and he's on his way til we see him the next day. (i gotta tell you, and this may be too out there for some, but the last morning, as he gave me his hug goodbye, there was a feeling of energy between us, nothing sexual, just weird, wasn't til later when i was talking to OH about it we were content to think it was a passing of human energy and just knew it had to work this time- low and behold) So, we then go in the bedroom and do what we need to do. Wait, first i pee, nothing worse than having to pee and ruining everything and messing with the gravity we need to help the sperm swim upwards! And we all know we have to pee after orgasm, but i need to try to avoid this!!! We then create a slippery ride, including getting me wet naturally, and using the sperm friendly lube, we used a toy this time (to not have any hand bacteria or such) to make sure everything was open and could fit and was as natural as a hetero scenario would be. No orgasm yet! By this time the sperm has re-liquefied. (its runny at first, then coagulates as to not run out of the woman then about 10-15 min it re liquefies to continue its journey onward and upward.) So its easy to get into the syringe, a 10lm plastic needless syringe. Suck it up, push it down so no air and its just ready at the tip, we then put on a plastic flexible catheter which will increase the length and drop the sperm at the base of the cervix. We thread the catheter and syringe in to where it needs to be and then OH slowly pushes the syringe to release the sperm on its journey (her involvement there was very important!!, so she feels like she made the baby too) Then, this time we left it(syringe) in for a few min to avoid leakage, which we experience in the past, and its disheartening to see that all important baby batter being 'wasted'!! (side not- one of our donations was knocked on the floor by me, had a spas moment and hit the specimen cup, which flew to the floor and leaked everywhere, i saved enough, but i was crying and so upset, how could i be sooo stupid!!! It is too precious to be that careless!!) So take everything (syringe/catheter) out, then comes the fun part. Orgasm!!! Clitoral stimulated only as to not compromise what's going on inside. The orgasm which is the all important bit, bc it creates and dipping and sucking motion by the cervix which lowers and sucks in the sperm to help its journey. Had a few really good ones this time around!! :blush: Then i lay, hips up, and wait, most of our donations were at night so i just read a book and stayed in bed and went to sleep to give the little :spermy: the best chance and easiest ride with the help of gravity. We sang to the egg, telling it drop and be healthy, and we sang to the sperm telling it to swim fast and find the egg. And thats all folks, thats how we did it!
Happy birthday Lucy :rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
besides the hug and the energy, we had a few other 'signs' this time around. The first picture was a wall hanging, in the bedroom we conceived - can you find the sperm and the egg?? The second was a picture i took of the sunrise the first morning, see the sperm and the egg, (i didnt until i loaded it on computer)???

Omg! Gave me chills!!!! What a beautiful story!!!! So happy for you both!!!! Xoxoxo you are going to be great mums!!!!
 
Lol...well thanks for the graphic details! Hahaha :rofl: I thought it would be something like that, but im not the kind of person to overthink those kinds of things!! Hehe. learned two things in that...1) coagulating sperm....nice!!! Lol. 2) orgasm is THAT important, everywhere says it can help but now I know why! :)
I'd be interested to know that website? We have friends who have been trying for a few years and found out last year they are infertile. They've looked into embryo donation and were given 3 embryo's but the first 2didnt work. They saved the 3rd as they knew if that didn't work there was no more lined up and they're hard to come by. Anyway she got a phone call two weeks ago from a lady offering her 3 embryosI really hope it works for them. They've been on such an emotional journey! Anyway they are always on the lookout for more egg donors, there are so many embryo's out there waiting to become Someone's baby!

Ask and you shall receive, i'm not one to hold back when asked something! I'm glad you learned something too, you wouldn't believe the amount of research i did between Jan-June of this year, i know more about how to make a baby than most Drs I think! :rofl:
The website is www.co-parents.net I know egg donors are not as prevalent on there but it may help, I hope it does.

edit- i believe there are some costs involved in registering.
2nd edit- ive just looked, it would appear to have changed lay out a bit since we used it two years ago. After we found our donor, we switched to email, text and FB, didnt use the site.
 
See, thats a much more interesting story than 'filled up the turkey baster and in she went' (no offence to the other couple i know of course!!)

I agree with Rosie, you two are gonna smash it out of the ballpark :)

Trying to eat lunch here and seriously struggling... :(

Wonder how Angel is going.....i get worried when we havent heard from her for a while! I hope that nasty witch is keeping her nose out of Angel's business...
 
thanks :jo:!!!
and would you just go POAS already!!!!!!!

FX for angel too!!! that damn :witch: best be staying away from her!! She must have had a busy day with the kiddies at school!!
Wont she have an interesting read when she gets home :rofl:
