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

[MrsMM24]

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!!

CONGRATS HAPPYH, wishing you a H&H 9 mos!

JAZZ, I think if we go back in the thread, I thought BOY, yay Team Blue! Any little girl would be lucky to have all those big bros!

TICKING, GL with the donations!


:wave: to the thread!!! Hi!

AFM... Going to Officially be back in the chase for Jan! Thanks in part, to the best group of ladies I have ever come across on BnB!!! Also hanging in here for my testing threads as promised!!! Jan and Feb going now! (PM me for links) Let's get these BFPs rolling ladies

 

[cooch]

Hi ladies- I don't know how well my post will be received but here goes. I'm AI as my DH has no interest in s*x (or its like once a month). I'm using a 10' syringe and sometimes softcups and preseed. I have one blocked tube and am on ovulation drugs inc HCG.

I'm not sure how more successful actual s*x would be considering my body situation, I doubt very much it would be much different, but am desperate to get BFP before further doc appointments etc.

As some ladies on here have had BFP's etc. What advice would you give? Or how effective do you think the method is??? My thinking is there is very little difference to male/female intercourse. Intercourse doesn't get the sperm into the cervix it still has to travel there like AI.

Any advice is welcome. I have been using syringe for a year now, but have only found out about my body 2 months ago and been on drugs for it since then. xx

Well donation was done Tuesday and I ovulated yesterday, had a beautiful temp rise today!
In past cycles my LH surge has lasted just a few hours but this cycle it lasted over ,24 hours.
Is that good?

.....

Well I am bloody livid.the doctor phoned, its 3.30 pm and he admitted the nurse sent my urine off for analysis for infection and not hcg pregnancy!! All the labs are now shut till Tuesday for bank holidays!! As I bleed last night he is still worried so its total bed rest till bloody Tuesday.

I am totally livid.but I couldn't complain as my mums a nurse at the surgery and I know how stretched they are with nhs cuts.

So now I have to wait til tues. He did day as my bleeding last night was so small, ie less than a fifty pence piece it was a good sign however he reminded me that bleeding in general is not a good sign.


thank you for all your kind thoughts. please keep praying for me!
Doh! X

 

[topazicatzbet]

a urine test will only confirm pregnancy anyway, a blood test would be best and then another a few days later to confirm a rise.

as the bleeding was so small it sounds positive to me. i know loads of girls on here that have bleed loads and still had a healthy baby. luna on here will second that naughty noah gave her lots of worry at the start with heavy bleeding.

i would push for blood tests to put your mind at rest.

 

[happyh29]

Thanks hon.its something to do with hormone changes.I will get blood next week when the world d opens after bank hols.....

I just wanted to say that i know this is going to feel like an eternity until tuesday comes round,but I will be thinking of you and sending you prayers for your sticky bean

I hope everything goes ok for you

Hi ladies

Where are you all finding your donors? It's hard to find them and hard to trust too, because of all the potential risks

Anyone near me, in Buckinghamshire?

 

[sparklie]

happyh29 oh lovely I'm sending you lots of positive vibes and hugs xxx

bartbart there are some donor sites that I recommend, baby donor is where I met mine but also tadpoletown.com is a good site, it has a bfp thread so you know who you can trust and who is successful. There are some sites that cost to join I can't say anything about these as I haven't used them.

There's also pride angel, tadpoletown.co.uk and co-parents.net. These are the ones I can think of at the moment.

Sorry I haven't read any pages yet as it's a quick look tonight but good luck to all and here's to 2012 being our year and bringing us all a baby xxxxxx
