Considering at-home insemination with donor sperm...?

[babymakestwo]

Lots of TTC! Hope this is your cycle!

Congrats to TwoMummies

Hoping to be TTC-ing myself finally in a month or so. I am back on two feet although heavily reliant on crutches right now. Hoping to meet my prospective donor next week, waiting on him getting back to me.

Wow Luna... time really is flying by!! 17 weeks! That's awesome!! Are you starting to show??

 

[SpudsMama]

Luna has an amazing bump! Thanks Ruby, I'm in love with that baby on my avatar

Second donation at 2pm and I got my smiley OPK today too so brilliant timing!

Also noticed that I totally hogged this thread yesterday... Oops xx

BRILL news about positive OPK TTC, really really hoping that this is your month!!

Welcome JazznTee to you and Ruby, FX for that BFP!!!!

AFM, I'm in contact with 2 donors quite close to me (whittled down from about 6 that I had had contact with); one's about an hour or so away, the other 30 minutes. Been a tough week this week cos I had a pretty much permanent headache since last sunday - prob due to stress of having to find a new donor - but I've battled on through when I could. The donor whose nearer to me would like to meet before hand so might see if I can set that up for tomorrow which is when I start testing with the OPK's this month. Because he's not far away from me, I've asked about 2/3 donations in one cycle and he was happy with that. Off to e-mail him now about meeting

 

[SpudsMama]

c.30 - Good luck, it's always a load off your mind when a donor is local

Forgot to mention in my last post... babymakestwo - Good luck meeting your donor! I can't wait until you get to finally start TTC xx

 

[LunaBean]

I never believed wen ppl said it flew in 2nd tri,esp with all the trouble I had at the start,it dragged then!

16+5 bump! I love it

 

[rosie5637]

aw gorgeous bump luna

can't believe you're 17wks already, thats awsome

good luck to those in their 2ww, hope it flies

afm, i've got my 1st scan coming up on tuesday hopefully it will sink in finally, even though i've been very poorly it still seems strange to think i've actually got a baby in there lol

Good luck with the first scan

Mine seems ages away still

I won't quite believe it until I see something there on the scan.

 

[SpudsMama]

Can't wait to see both of your scan pics rosie and TwoMummies

Second donation went ok as well, although I had a bit of "dribble" this time. I felt some of the "stuff" come out as I put the softcup in, but only a little bit, then I stood up to leave the hotel and felt some leakage. That's why I prefer inseminating at home, I can just lie down straight after... doing it at the hotel means I just want to get back so I can relax. I don't like using the hotel to lie around for 30 minutes Oh well, I can safely say that most of the swimmers made it up there My bum is well and truly propped up now though with a big furry red cushion

xx

 

[RubyRainbows]

Rosie & twomummies... looking forward to seeing scan pics!!

TTC SEPT.... i think since you already paid for the hotel room, you may as well get your money's worth! I kinda think maybe you should stay put for a little while after the insemination... with legs in the air! I know it's not ideal to be in a hotel for insemination..... but maybe you can take a nap, or read a book, or watch TV or something for a little while??

Thanks for all the 2WW wishes!

 

[SpudsMama]

Haha Ruby, only problem with that is, I didn't pay for the hotel! He insisted on paying himself, but if I really wanted to contribute then to put the money I would've spent on his expenses towards something for the baby, which I thought was really nice of him. But I think that if I don't get my BFP this cycle, I'll definitely hang around in the hotel room for a bit longer. He does go straight down to the lobby after he's finished making the donation so I'll have privacy.

How's your 2ww coming along? xx

 

[faithbabies]

c30...g'luck with meeting your donor and narrowing down between your two choices!! fxed for your bfp soon!

jazz...fxed for your 2ww to end in a BFP!!


Ruby, yes you can get Clomid from your OB..the script i'm using is my friends, she got it from her OB and she got prego last month so she let me have this script filled and we have one more refill if i need it...i go to my ob in oct so if i need to i may ask him for a script as well...good luck in your 2ww, baby dust to you!!

[JazznTee]

Thanks everyone, hoping for my BFP and praying my kids stay safe in this hurricane, they are in NYC. Since I'm in ATL it missed me altogether. Today's my youngest son birthday he 8 today. he ask me what is he doing for his birthday, I said Irene is coming he said why I don't know who she is I didn't invite her, I said baby irene is the name of the hurricane, he says I didn't invite the hurricane either I love that boy other than that I'm having some sharp pains in my stomach.

 

[RubyRainbows]

Good luck pinkorblue!

Thanx faithbabies... i think maybe OH should ask for a prescription too!!!! Hope one script is all it takes for you to get your bfp! FX'ed for you!

JnT -- Hope your family is safe in this storm! I live in PA... we aren't exactly sure how much effect the hurricane will have on us as well!
