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

[cranberry]

thanks ladies

 

[EpdTTC]

Yep-we'd all be thrilled for you Cranberry!

Keep in mind-Clomid tends to dry up CM so if you do an at home insem you might want to make sure to use Preseed or something similar! Good luck

Happy Thanksgiving gals (It's Turkey Day here in the US)

So Leah, is it official?

 

[Tegans Mama]

No, I got up and forgot to test..
AF is due today though. I might save my pee up and do a test a little later, or maybe just wait for AF to not arrive..

 

[RubyRainbows]

Lea -- Fingers & toes crossed for you!!!!!!! Stay away AF!

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and black friday.
* i have been feeling very tired and stomach has been flopping around not sure
if i should test for a possible + or wait What would you do?

 

[Tegans Mama]

When is AF due tenleys? Mine was due YESTERDAY in fact, I checked on FF and I am 15dpo!!

 

[RubyRainbows]

Girls!

 

[Tegans Mama]

I need to wait until the morning

 

[tenleys306]

i am going to wait until the morning also however i do have a cold so it might just be because im sick. i don't want to get my hopes up. i will test in the morning and let everyone know what the turn out is

Cranberry- we were hoping it would work the first try too. But we were not that lucky

I just had the most stressful night, my mom and sister are in town for the holiday... And apparently my partners body has the best timing. Yesterday we had a +opk. They don't leave till sunday morning and I had not told them we are actively ttc. I've dropped hints right and left but the thought of trying to get them out of the house for a few hours to do the insem. made me so nervous I got sick. My mom finally figured out it wasn't leftover turkey and I had to come clean. Yikies!
I think we have decided to wait till next month but there are only 12 viles of the donor we want left, so stressful!

But at least it cleared things up.

I'm so excited for you all. Baby dust for all those trying

I need to wait until the morning

Hi all!

Congrats to you, Lea!! Wow, we have been really lucky with BFP around here recently!

I am day CD13 and don't ovulate for another few days, i'm really nervous as i'm using a new donor this time. This feels like such a lonely process as a singleton. It feels like i have been trying forever (i haven't) and everyone around me seems to be pregnant.

Sorry i've not been around, my computer broke so i didn't have the internet and i never really know what to say to people. I do lurk sometimes, but i feel weird posting sometimes.

Aww hun, you should never feel weird about posting here, we come from all walks of life We're all different, whether we are straight with problems conceiving, lesbian, single... we're all women

Awww... That does sound quite stressful! And awkward! Glad you got things cleared up with your family! What was their reaction??

 

[RubyRainbows]

Lea -- I love your pretty little ticker! Congrats! Praying for a very long, happy, & healthy 9 months for you!

I had a thought -- Instead of stressing out that OH & i NEED a BFP before Christmas -- I found the thought comforting that hopefully by this time next year we'll have a new baby in our arms! At least that gives us a few more months of trying!

Currently, on our 2ww OH isn't feeling much! Some crampy feelings... but that's about it! Hoping for the shock of our lives since this attempt everything seemed messed up: the cycle, the timing, the cm, the insem... nothing went right! Would love if it happens when we least expect it! Lol.

Tenleys -- Sorry on your BFN. Not out until the arrives tho! Light spotting doesn't mean you're out!

Mechanica -- Glad you're back! Sorry you are feeling lonely! Just know that we are all here rooting for you!

Thankyou Ruby
Everything went wrong for me this cycle. Our donor came over the day after I O'd. I thought I was out of the race for sure! It's so easy to try and not focus on ttc but it really takes/took up every spare second of my head space. Sooo obsessed!! Hope you had a good thanksgiving xx
