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

[kezza78]

Hi all,

Haven't managed to see the articles yet anyone got a link? From what I've read on here it's giving the good ones out there a bad name!!

AFM... Took a break this month as I pulled my back and was in a lot of pain. All ready for next month now, due the weekend, then it's all systems go again!!

Congrates sparkly and topaz fx'd for you!!

Looks like I'm not allowed to write anything derogatory about Andrew proven Donor anymore, as I received a PM from Clairey1 (you're now on my ignore list Clairey1) asking me to remove my comments and that he's a genuine man.

Far be it for me to influence anyone else, so if any of you lovely ladies are considering using Andrew Proven Donor please have a Google first.

I for one would not want to be pressured into sex with a man I didn't know, but hey ho.

i agree sparkypants.
we know what has gone on, shame for those naive girls.

I see what you mean now Sparkly!!

We are all free to speak our minds about donors and Andrew Proven Donor is one that I think every one of us will come across at some point.. I signed up on CoParent and was emailed by him within minutes - seems strange that such a wonderful donor should be jumping on new members the second they join!!

You're allowed to mention whatever you want Sparklypants, as far as I can see you're only helping people like us not be bitten by a man who promises something but means something else

We've confirmed with our donor that we will be trying in November... AF arrived today, I'm hoping I won't have many more visits from her before we're expecting number 2

[Sparklypants]

Thanks ladies

Tegan's Mum that is wonderful news!! I can hear your excitement from here!

I am excited, we've been wanting another baby since this time last year but we started looking for a donor, got one, and he messed us about big style.. We were so set on having THAT donor that when he changed his mind, we looked for a small while and then just gave up. It was such a hard time, but things are different now.

How are you feeling Sparklypants? I was shellshocked when I first found out I was pregnant with Tegan.. I was soo laid back its unbelievable, looking back! I tested three times and accepted I was pregnant and that was that.. I expect this time will be very different

Oh gosh, what a lot of setbacks! It's lovely when you find the perfect donor isn't it, I am so pleased I found who I used he's just so genuine and professional.

I am feeling good thanks hun, boobs are sore and have had twinges etc low down, but I still can't take it in to be honest!

I guess in a few weeks time when I start developing a bump it'll all seem real.

Just been looking at your journal for Tegan, cannot get over how gorgeous she is, well done chick

I only read one, but Andrew Proven Donor, Superlight, Exotic and JM have been in them!

I feel so sorry for Super and Ex as they are genuine guys

APD = Andrew proven Donor, think he's from Cambs. Goes along with AI and then pressures for NI saying it'd be much better etc.

We found him on co-parents.net - his name was Andrew but I've forgotten his username lol

I never think to look on Vivastreet, I wouldn't know what on earth to search for haha!

Not Andrew Proven Donor?!

No, lol thank goodness.

*phew* !

I really hope you can back your comments. I've removed part of your post about Andrew being mentioned in TAB, because he wasn't (unless someone can prove otherwise). Andrew has been in contact with us about your comments. I haven't replied because the little bit he objected to has been edited (and tbh I don't really want to play middleman)... but a word of warning: We pay a lot of money to have BnB insured to covers us and our legal bill when it comes to things like this. If you can prove what you saying, then run with it. If not, I would word your posts very carefully (and use phrases like 'I read...' or 'I personally feel/think...'. Remember to alway quote/link sources to back you up).

Yes she can, if she can backup what she is saying


As for Clairey1... Andrew has a voice and has used it, so there really isn't any need for you to get involved.

 

[Sparklypants]

That's my wrist well and truly slapped isn't it!

 

[StirCrazy]

how do you figure? I'm just saying to be careful.

 

[Sparklypants]

I know, and I take all your comments on board and thank you for doing it in such a diplomatic way....

I guess those of us that were seeing things unravel on the other website just have very strong feelings about it is all, and want to protect 'our girls'.

Point taken though

 

[rosie5637]

oops sparklypants!

i think it's good that we all look out for each other, using donor sperm does carry a little risk so if we can minimise it all the better.

i have had messages from a certain donor and i didn't get good vibes. i have heard lots of other women say the same things as you and have seen a weird video on you-tube about him. hope i worded that carefully enough

 

[RubyRainbows]

Oh wow... i've missed alot in one day!

Topaz -- fingers crossed for you!!!!

TegansMama -- great news!!!! So glad there are a few of us just getting started with new donors!

So exciting!!!!!!!

Does anyone else find it interesting that a donor would be reading our thread about at-home insemination with donor sperm?....I'm just saying...

That's exactly my thoughts too... Why would a donor feel the need to read threads about our experiences and jump on new comers the second they put up an ad? - and I can prove that statement with the messages sent to my accounts as soon as I registered!

feeling a bit fed up at the mo girls, no ovulation as yet (cd16) and got donations on cd 13 and 14 as he is away now with work.

hoping im going to ovulate today but not so sure. maybe im gonna miss this cycle.
i had a smiley face opk on cd13 and then neg after that.
gonna have to start planning time off from work for next month i think.

ok thats my woo is me moment for the day.

 

[kns]

we are members of this particular website and have been approached by these people, i have only stated that a few were suspicious and offered NI when we wanted AI.

 

[Sparklypants]

Well let's hope it's all done and dusted now, although the user who PM'd me had only registered this month, so it does make you wonder .....

Anyway today I am the proud owner of a lovely bout of Bacterial Vaginosis. I keep on getting this and am always given antibiotics, but this time I don't want to be taking them as it clearly states in the leaflet not to be used in pregnancy.

I am waiting for my GP to ring me, and am hoping that she might prescribe me Balance Activ to treat this current bout and then to use as a maintenance measure.

Has anyone else had any experience of BV and used BA?

Topaz, what opks are you using? If they had a smiley face on them does that indicate your LH Surge then?
