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

[RubyRainbows]

Yes Sparklypants -- def stick around! HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Can you send your donor & his super-sperm my way???

I emailed the guy i was chatting with a specific date, time, hotel & now he stopped responding?!?! What??????? OMG -- he seemed very nice & reliable! But now no response. Nothing. Grrrrrrr....

 

[Sparklypants]

Oh no Ruby do you have a back up donor?

Maybe my donor could bottle his sperm and send it over? lol... shame we don't have concorde anymore!!

Will definitely be sticking around then x x

 

[LunaBean]

Its for anyone who used/is using/is thinking of using a donor, so stay!!!!

Ruby caml down, he may be out of town and cant check his mails?? lol. I always have a few on the go at once, that way if one drops you, you have another to use!!

congrats sparkly

 

[Sparklypants]

Thanks love, still can't believe it lol x

 

[Justme]

Yay congrats Sparkly x

 

[snagglepat]

Huge congrats Sparkly! First time too you jammy thing! Fingers crossed for the next eight months for you. And do stick around. I haven't been able to keep away and I think it's great for those at different stages of the process to be able to know what others are going through.

Ruby, hopefully he's just offline for a day or two and will be back in touch soon. Fingers crossed for you too!

Congrats Sparklypants!

And definitely stick around... they can't get rid of me.

 

[DaisyDoodles]

Don't you even dare think about leaving... I neeed you here!

The got me this morning!

 

[Sparklypants]

Ah bless you all Daisy ... you won't be far behind me,I can feel it in my waters hehehe

I know, first time... mad isn't it! I keep thinking the tests have made a mistake

Just goes to show that those donors that say NI is better (where's the vomit smilie) that it really isn't... Unless Hugh Jackman was offering me NI, then I might have reconsidered... or Eric Bana for that matter lol...

How is everyone today? x x

 

[RainbowMum]

Congrats Sparklypants, can you send your Donor to London next?

 

[Sparklypants]

Lol He has even had people FLY to him, that is how highly regarded he is! I was so lucky that he helped me

Eeeek I have a little bean in here!!! x x

 

[topazicatzbet]

hey girls.

have you seen the news today that the 2 guys that run fertility 1st (fresh sperm delivery service) have been found guilty of breaking the law and could be looking at a jail sentence.

i think it sucks

 

[Sparklypants]

Not seen that hun, never heard of Fertility 1st either lol...

Mind you with the recent articles in that shoddy Take a Break magazine it's a wonder there are any donors left!

 

[Nimyra]

What laws did the fertility 1st guys break?

I think in the US it is illegal to buy/sell fresh sperm, but you can get it for free.

 

[RubyRainbows]

Aww Daisy! Big hugs! Sorry the witch got you!

My "potential" donor responded back! Lol... guess i panicked too soon! We have a tentative date planned to meet (October 1st -- Cycle day 17 -- OH always gets +OPKs on CD 18 or 19). It was the only day he's available.... but it's better than nothing!!!!!

Someone clue me in: What was the article in "Take A Break"? And why were the guys arrested????????

 

[maaybe2010]

They were violating some act, Embryo and Human something, somthing Act 1990 ?

I just wanted to ask in the UK what is the normal procedure and cost of using a sperm donor? We're hoping we might not need one but if our IVF fails we won't have a choice since OH's sperm aren't that good. . . .

Just keeping my options open and myself informed

x x x x x


EDIT: This is the sperm men from the news - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-11344762

 

[topazicatzbet]

thanks for the link maaybe, saves me explaining.

when i first decieded to use donor sperm i thought about using this company but then i found the site i used which doesnt cost me anything.

depends how you want to do it really maaybe, you can either go to a clinic and get the frozen sperm inseminated which costs a fortune or you can do it the way most of us are, we have a private donor who we meet and get a fresh sample from and self inseminate. usually this way you juyst pay there travel costs etc. nothing for the sperm.

 

[scoobydoo]

hi all
i myself am doing self insemination at home with my partners brothers sperm ...
this is my 3rd month trying ... i have read dependant on age it can take upto 6 cycles to be successful... you have as much chance of falling pg as if you were to dtd the "normal way" lol.
my 1st month got my bfp @ 19dpo however it was a chemical preg . 2nd month we were a day to late calc my o wrong ...
this is my 3rd cycle doing it this way , i am currently at 10dpo n hoping this is my month....
as long as you calc you o correct there is no reason y this shouldnt work for you..... i have also been using preseed this month ive read good things about it ( helps those little swimmers out )
hope this helps x

 

[Sparklypants]

With regard to donor sperm in the UK you should NOT be paying for it. All you should be doing, and some donors won't accept it is offering them expenses money.

I simply gave my donor £30 per visit as he drove 2.5 hours to me...
