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

[RubyRainbows]

Wow! Lindsey! Sounds like some pretty promising symptoms for ya!! Good luck!!!!!!!

 

[DaisyDoodles]

Fingers are firmly crossed here for you Lindsey!

I'm now officially on CD1 of my trial cycle with the CBFM, I've been climbing the walls because I'm 3 days late (can't believe I've actually been upset at AF being late!) but I'm sat here feeling a bit deflated now, I've had the monitor here ready for the past 2 weeks and it was a bit of an anticlimax when I switched it on and simply got a number 1 and 1 bar, I'm not sure what I was actually expecting!!

But, it does feel great to finally be preparing, Fx that this time next month I'll be on the real cycle and on my way to a BFP!

id love to get pg this cycle cos my EDD would be the same date i got my BFP with callum.

Good luck this month Topaz and Daisy.

Fingers crossed for you Linds!

Had blood work done today because I was having a big freak out. Was convinced my pregnancy symptoms were fading and that I was going to miscarry. I think it comes with the territory after having two losses. Turns out things still look good. Hcg was 7,862! (Doc was hoping for at least 4,000) Did an ultrasound and saw the gestational sac and yolk. Have an ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday, hope to see the heartbeat! Please oh Please let us see the heartbeat. Let there be a little one in there!

I'm on CD8, starting to round up the donors for next week, Belfast Pride is next weekend, and Im due to ovulate right in the middle of it, so have to arrange them all round next Saturday!!

 

[EpdTTC]

Yay Kezza on finding another donor! and Yay Lizzie on getting back into the madness! Keep us posted!

 

[RubyRainbows]

Erin!! So happy to see things are going well! PMA! Ecstatic for you!

Good luck girls -- hope this cycle is lucky for everyone!!!

No luck here with finding a donor... and can't afford any more frozen spermies for awhile. So....... on a break from trying again.

 

[RubyRainbows]

Lindsey -- have you tested yet???

have you had a look on here hun https://www.sperm-donors-worldwide.com/

thats where i found my donor. i used one of the pre approaved oned and he has been fantastic. i also put a message on the message boarded and got LOTS of offers, you have to sift through thoughs as a few were rather dodgy but i still got a few that sounded good.

Hi All,

I've read the entire thread and it's made me smile and brought tears to my eye's in equal measures...

I'm a single 34 yr old and I would love to have a baby, I always thought I'd be fine just being an Aunt to 5 nephews and very recently a niece but as I'm sure you're all aware, once that clock starts ticking, there is absolutely nothing you can do to shut it off

I, very luckily, have a friend who also want's a child and wants to co-parent with me, we've been talking about it on and off since New Year and I came off depo some months ago... waiting for AF to show so I can start taking the Pregnacare Conceive vits. I think I O'd on Monday as I had a sharp pain in my left Ovary and as I've not had af for almost 8 months, this one's gonna be a killer!

I've learned so much from you guys, preseed (my initial reaction was "say wha?" ) insteed cups, fertility friend and most importantly of all, the comradeliness and support you all show for each other, it really is beautiful

Congratulations to those of you who have sticky beans, and to those who are still trying...

Wishing you all (and myself) the best of luck

 

[topazicatzbet]

welcome and good luck. thats great that you have a friend to co parent with hope you get that sticky bean soon

 

[EpdTTC]

Welcome Mushe!

 

[Nimyra]

Welcome Mushe,

Congrats on finding someone to coparent with you! That's really brave and can work out wonderfully with the right person.

I don't know how long it normally takes for the depo to wear off, but hope you get to start trying soon and that you conceive quickly.

Thank you all, I already feel like part of "the family" as I've read so much about you all over the past few days...

Re: Depo, I'd been on it from age 24 - 28, then met someone and had the implanon (don't do it! It's horrific! ) 3 years after thet, as we'd split up 6 months previously I had it taken out... I've pretty much been single since then (with the exception of a couple of 1 or 2 month's with chicks) So I've been on and off contraceptives... I've been "natural" for roughly 8 months before I took the depo again back in March 'coz I was annoyed with af screwing up my life So I'm now waiting (un) patiently for my first "proper" af for a while, had some cramps today and I just want her to turn up!! As soon as she does I can start charting (another thing I've learned I sat through the fertility friend lessons this eve) so I *almost* understand it

One of my very good friends has been trying for the BFP with her DH fro almost a year now, I've been speaking with her and apparently, if I get PG before her, she's gonna kick my arse!

But seriously, all of you, you are *so* strong, the stuff some of you have had to go through... I'm so glad I found here and found people who won't say "Are you F*king Crazy?????*

Luv and hugs to all xx

My partner and I want to purchase a fertility monitor and are thinking of the Ovacue. Just wondering if any of you have used it and have feedback. Some friends of our that are also TTC don't like theirs but they are doing IUI's with a RE. We will be doing at home inseminations with frozen sperm are thinking it would be helpful in determining when to have the sperm shipped. Any thoughts?
