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

[mindgames77]

I got my BFP! Blood test came back negative though...but may be too early? I'm still getting positives since the blood test, and they are getting darker. Some of these tests are from before the blood test, and some are from after.

Usually the results are more accurate from a blood test,
Fingers crossed its cos it's early days x

Hi everyone! Tonight we inseminate for the first time since our loss. It's weird how equally scared and excited I am. It feels like my tummy is doing cartwheels. We had planned on SMEP but since we moved to the suburbs and we are a bit further from our KD than we were before, we decided to eliminate the early days. Gas prices affect everything....even our donation schedule. LOL! So, today DW poas for an OPK for the first time a.) in our new home and b.) since our angel got their wings. I may be a bit of a needy nancy this cycle. I don't want to weight DW down with my fears as I am sure she has enough of her own. We talked about them before deciding to try and I feel like I want her to be as at peace with all of it as she can be while we are in full on TTC mode. Hope everyone is well.

depends on what kind of blood test was taken, there are 2 different kinds, a qualitative and a quantitative, one tests the exact amount of hcg and the other one just gives you a yes or no, from what my doc said that one isnt any more accurate than a home pregnancy test, good luck!!!

sometimes the lab.'s tests can be wrong. what did they say on your positive urine tests?

ASITO 9 DPO is very early and likely won't be seen on a FRER, give it a few days and try not to stress so you can see beautiful pink lines later, that line so far looks very promising!


MINDGAMES CONGRATS!! Wishing you a H&H 9 months! A blood test is most accurate, yes, but it still has to be done a considerable time after Implantation... FXD that you have a sticky bean on board!


LEAH so very happy to see you back on the TTC journey. I know that I will remain around until I see your BFP!!!

Good luck with the insems Leah.

I have no doubt that there must have been some error on the blood test...two days later and....

 

[BrandiCanucks]

MUST have been a blood test error, I agree

 

[ticking.clock]

Well I might get to have #4 as my oh is thinking of having his snip reversed

 

[Yorkielassy]

[MrsMM24]

TICKING that is good to hear, GL in the quest for a possible #4....


MINDGAMES having used a fertility clinic for years, they only test with blood test and they wait a pretty good amount of time, I wouldn't say it was an error, just EARLY blood test. Hoepfully you are going back and the test confirms that strong BFP we all see! CONGRATS again Hun! I have had you on my testing threads in the past so I know this has been long awaited!

 

[astito]

yes, apperently, blood test was error...your tests are getting darker...

 

[LeahMSta]

Beautiful Lines Mindgames! I imagine the blood test was just a bit early. I hope you have a H&H 9 months and beyond!

AFM I am back in TTC mode in full force. Charting, tellin DW when to pee on stuff, and trying to make all 3 of our schedules work for insems. We are stuggling a bit with negotiating who travels where and when because our new home is about 25 min out of town and previously we were 10 min away. We have another insem tonight and DW forgot to take softcups with her to work and Donor forgot about a meeting he had for his son's FB league So, we are waiting til the last minute to see who is going where when. Tons of fun.
