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

[Nimyra]

Congrats, Daisy! That's wonderful news!

Gina, Your home birth plans sound great!

 

[LunaBean]

wooohooooo!!! Great pix!

AF just got me, 4 days early for some reason, totally out of the blue, I thought flying/travelling delayed it, not brought it on?? Guess donor-days will come 4 days early tho lol

 

[RubyRainbows]

Thanks Kezza! - I'm now up to 7 pink lines!!

Yaayy! Daisy -- awesome news! Congrats!

We tested this morning & got a BFN. I know it's still early though... AF isn't due until Monday... We'll test again in a few days....

Gina -- glad to hear everything is falling into place with your birth plan!

Rosie, you'll be getting your BFP soon I'm sure, did the new donor turn out ok?

thanks daisy. the new donor was great, really nice guy, and according to ff insemination was on ov day.
BUT
getting annoyed now. still hasn't arrived and i'm 3 days late.

i just don't feel pregnant and at this stage with my son i got a strong positive and loads of symptoms. did an ic at lunchtime and it was

i'm never late and i've been suprisingly relaxed about the whole ttc thing so i don't think stress stopped the witch coming. i had major stress a few months ago and was still really regular

don't know what to think

Congrats Daisy! Awesome news! and as far as I'm concerned those are not faint lines, those are BFPs!

Still have my fingers crossed for you Ruby and Rosie!

 

[DaisyDoodles]

Thanks EpdTTC , I've been worrying myself that I'm seeing things, I even got the woman I childmind to check them for me! - But as everyone else can see them too... I guess I'm PREGNANT!!!

Rosie, don't give up yet, if AF hasn't arrived, you're not out yet!

And Ruby... I got a negative yesterday.... the strip was pure white... I photographed it, messed with the brightness/contrast you name it, I did it and nothing... yet today the lines are there so you'll get yours I'm sure of it... you have to, we're bump buddies remember!!

ETA: has anyone else noticed the assisted conception forum that's been added?? - Are we gonna be moved into there??

 

[RubyRainbows]

Thanks Daisy! Love your ticker! Looks good in your signature!

I noticed that new assisted conception section too -- coming soon! Is that for us???

 

[DaisyDoodles]

Oooh, I had to search for us... I guess the answer is yes Ruby!

Hope everyone finds us ok... maybe we should PM people if they haven't appeared in the next day or so??

 

[topazicatzbet]

i dont see any faint lines





i see some great lines. congrats hun.

im hoping the witch lands tom.

 

[topazicatzbet]

oh guess we have been moved to the assisted conception already.

thanks mods

Is it just me/my computer or has everyone just lost their signatures? I'm sure mine was within the rules so I've no idea where it's gone.

Gina.

 

[EpdTTC]

Hmmm...looks like siggies are all gone. Hope they come back!

 

[RubyRainbows]

Found you!

Seems all the threads that were moved, lost their signatures! That stinks -- hope they come back!

 

[DaisyDoodles]

Mines gone too.. maybe it's a sign!

Well I'm still showing a positive this morning (I tested at 4am) but I'm not convinced it's anything more than a chemical.. my bbt's are still stupidly low, barely above the coverline and everything I've found on google says that a pregnancy won't survive with such low temps/lack of progesterone so I'm just waiting for the line to disappear really - any one know how long I'm likely to get positives for if this is the case?

 

[rosie5637]

don't know what the answer is daisy. i stop taking my temp after ov is confirmed so i don't go crazy i'm sure you'll be fine
how many dpo are you?

afm the got me in the night. i'm gutted but i knew in my heart it hadn't worked. i'm at a loss as to why my period was late just hope it hasn't mucked up the day i ovulate cause that has been like clockwork so far.

on to the next time, i'll get my before christmas hopefully.

 

[DaisyDoodles]

I'm sorry AF got you Rosie.. hopefully next month will bring better luck!

I decided not knowing was going to drive me mad so I called my doctor, she's been fantastic supporting me through all of this and she says that as I've had a cold it could just ne that I'm sleeping with my mouth open which would lower my temperatures... I hope she's right, but for now I guess I'll just have to sit and wait... I'm 11dpo, so the weekend should bring me my answer!

 

[EpdTTC]

Sorry about AF Rosie! Hope next month is your month. I think sometimes AF is late because of the added stress and worry of TTC.

Daisy-I wouldn't assume that it's a chemical. Any chance that you can get in for a beta today and then a recheck on Friday to see if the number is increasing. That way you wouldn't have to torture yourself through the weekend...but then again, that's just what I would do and I am very anxious and impatient with this kind of stuff.

 

[RubyRainbows]

Daisy -- PMA!! PMA!! Don't worry about your temp -- you have two pink lines! By happy & enjoy! I would def call the doc to get a blood test just to confirm! Erin's idea is great too -- to see the levels increasing!

Sorry AF got you Rosie! You'll get that BFP before Christmas -- i know it!!!!!!!!!

 

[DaisyDoodles]

Thankyou both!

I'm not sure what a beta is, but the blood test is out of the question really, when I first called the doctors I was told point blank that they don't book appointments for pregnancy before 8 weeks, it was only because I kicked up a fuss that they agreed to pass a message to my doctor who then called me back!

AF is due Sunday or Monday anyway, so I'll sit it out and what will be will be I guess... I still have very sore bbs and the veins are standing out good and clear so I haven't given up completely yet!!

 

[RubyRainbows]

Daisy i think your symptoms all sound very promising!!!!!! Please stick little bean -- please stick!

My doc doesn't schedule a 1st appointment until 12 weeks!!! But, i asked for a blood test to confirm pregnancy (last time) & i just went to the hospital lab, had blood drawn, & then called my doc two days later to confirm. Doesn't hurt to ask if they will let you do that? Or.... of course you can just wait until next week. If AF doesn't arrive, will you believe it then & be ready to celebrate??
