Hi everyone! I'm going to tell my story and hope that it encourages and helps all of you!
My husband was diagnosed with azoospermia. We couldn't afford any of the medical procedures that MAY be able to help and with my husband's specific condition and reason for azoospermia, there was nothing we could do.
Then we started looking into adoption and costs... wow! We had some money to save and some work to do on the house (it's a little hard to get approved with a house under construction).
During a holiday weekend, we were spending time with our best "couple" friends. I was talking with the wife about our situation, she said "I wish we could just use Matt's (her husband) stuff and just get it in you!" When I told her about home artificial insemination, she offered me her husband! lol! She talked to him about it later and they approached us to offer us this amazing gift! I understand that this may seem very strange to a lot of people, that we know our donor, that he is married with children and that he is our friend, but for us it was like "of course!" It just clicked, it was exactly what we were supposed to do, we just knew it.
We did the home insemination a few times, blindly because I hadn't tracked my cycle using OPKs yet. After 3 months of using OPKs, I never saw a positive. I went to an infertility specialist and she did an internal ultrasound. Coincidentally, she was able to confirm that I was about to ovulate and told us to inseminate the following 2 days.
Well, we inseminated. And..... 2 weeks later, BFP!
I'm honestly still completely in shock and don't quite believe it. I've taken at least 10 pregnancy tests, used a timer (in case of evap lines) and used 3 different brands! I'm a bit obsessed...
So, here's exactly how we did it.
We went to the donor's house (I have little shame and figured he would rather do that at his house than ours). He would go to his room, do his thing into a sterile plastic cup, then suck it up with a clean, needle-less syringe. He would bring it to me and leave the room. I just laid on their couch and inserted it. Now, TMI alert, like I said, no shame. When I inserted it, I did it slow because a few times I did it fast and it just sort of shot out. Also, it's totally normal if some comes out shortly after, it might drip down your butt a bit too. Then I just stayed on the couch for about 30 minutes. One time, my husband and I drove home and did it there, so I could have an orgasm. We have read that this may help. I noticed that a LOT more came out when I did this. I don't know if this would affect anything, remember it only takes one little guy!
It worked for us and I hope this helps answer some of your questions. I'm happy to answer any questions you have, so please ask! Nothing is silly or weird and I'll go into as much detail as you'd like!
This is weird, but I've been reading posts from the beginning these last few days- posts from 2009- so to me, it looks like you went from all the struggles in the beginning to your cute 30 wk belly. So happy for you!
...watching my chart closely.... 
WAITING.... GL FXD!
Every day is the longest day ever. I'm obsessed! What do you do to distract yourself and have a normal life??
to those AF flew in on!
* it says on their website that it mimics EWCM so.... we'll see what happens. I know a lot of people swear by that an preseed
Understandably he's got too much on his plate to carry on with donating right now. I have a back-up donor I can email to ask if he's available tomorrow and Monday (CD14 and CD17) but I'm pretty sure it's too short notice 
Wish me luck ladies! xx
