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

[Nimyra]

I think some of us US ladies are contemplating a summer meet up... maybe in Ohio... although I have a fantasy of us all bringing our babies and/or bellies to the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival.

Luna, beautiful test!

Lea we're goin to Manchester on the 21st Feb to see Maroon 5..I'll come visit you!!

Ruby...when are you guys testing?

Lea: FX'd for you!

Topaz: Congrats!!!! Everytime I log on there's more good news!

Luna: A meet up sounds like a fabulous idea...our son is stationed in England (outside of London) so we have plans to go visit but now that I'm pregnant our trip will probably be delayed until Spring 2012!!

Cranberry: We got a positive on our first go round (which was also an at home insemination) so you never know!

Snaggle and Edp: Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. It makes me feel better to know this isn't so unusual. I went to have my first blood test today and will have a repeat Wednesday. We are hoping the numbers increase and show that all is well!

Poppy: I just propped my bottom up on some pillows, did the insem, left the syringe in place for 10 minutes and then inserted my Diva cup. Worked like a charm!

 

[Tegans Mama]

Ooooh yay sounds good

Ruby...when are you guys testing?

We are trying to hold off until Friday to test! If OH doesn't get AF by Friday i'll be doing cartwheels... or at least attempting to!

Oooh, that's less than 90 minutes drive for us! However on Feb 21st we'll have a 1 month-ish old baby so I think we'll be playing things by ear then. Have fun girls. Let us know if you decide to make it a public meet and we'll put it in the diary just in case.

Oh WOW guys!!! Huge congratulations for those got have got a BFP!!!!

Sorry i have not been around. I got really upset because of all the stuff with my donor and then missing my ovulation and then realising that actually, i probably didn't miss it, i just didn't keep testing long enough to see it but by then it was too late. I was so cross with myself that i had to not come on. How terrible is that??

I'm really envious of all the summer babies. When i first started TTC a summer baby was what i wanted and then i missed the two inseminations which would have made that possible! I am so cross with myself. I'm just waiting for my period to arrive to i can get back on the wagon. I have longish cycles (32 days) so it'll be another couple of weeks before i can inseminate. I guess i am just too impatient. I really really hope i fall first time with the new donor because the heartache of getting my period is just becoming a bit much for me.

Congrats nonetheless, i cannot wait to join you!!

Congrats Topaz! Fabulous news! Not sure how I missed it yesterday when I was on! Wow-we have had 3 BFPs in the past week or two. I think that is a record for us! Keep 'em coming girls!

You can still have a summer baby -- August will be your month! Don't miss Ov again this cycle! Give your donor a range of when you should be ovulating & when you should need him so he can plan ahead. Start testing by like CD11.... my OH has the same cycle length as you & always OV on CD 18/19 yet for some reason she OV early this cycle!! Luckily we had started tesing (OPKs) early & didn't miss Ov -- inseminated on CD15. Also, pay attention to CM. Good luck -- i look forward to hearing how it goes!

:wave: Welcome back kns & mechanica!

Congrats to all who got a BFP! I got so misty eyed when I read all the good news. As for us we are late and even though we should have tested on Sunday, we are waiting till fri. if AF doesn't show. I just want to make sure there is no false neg. My OH is having headaches and cramping and some back aches. I wanted these to be signs of pregnancy and not the awful witch!! Oh I so hope that we are!! We will be right there with Mommies 1&2!! Oh gosh, I soo hope this witch stays away!!!
