Hi everyone,
Ive been reading this forum for the last couple days, and it feels great to know there are so many other people out there going through the same thing as I. I thought I'd share my story
My name is Andrea, 27,and my wife's name is Nicole,26. We have been together for nearly 4 years. Two years ago we started talking about TTC but decided to wait until finances were in order. We moved to a different city, met new people, which eventually led to meeting our donor. After a year of getting to know him we felt he'd be the perfect fit for what we are looking for in a donor.We didn't know how to approach a guy to ask for his sperm. it was nerve racking and a bit awkward, but the worst thing that could happen is him say no... so we went for it. It surprisingly went very smoothly and he agreed to help us in creating life.
This is our second month TTC. Last month I used clearblue test and we were able to get a donation day of LH, day after, and the following day. Our SD told us that he had ejaculated a few hrs b4 1st donation so we were skeptical about the longevity of his swimmers.
That 2 week wait to c if I was pregnant was the longest two weeks of my life. When I got the BFN I was kinda sad but also informed enough to know it does take time and me stressing about it wasn't goin to help.
We are now TTC for our second time. I gotta say I feel much better this time around. The first time was stressful, and kinda uncomfortable knowing there was going to be sperm injected in me, silly right? This time I was ready. I knew my personal ovulation symptoms and was able to overcome the sperm associated anxiety it's really a beautiful thing when u think about it, and I am so grateful to him and his sperm. He was also very conscious about being sparing with his swimmers this time around so I think we got some good samples! LH surge detected oct 12th AI oct 9th, 12th, 13th, and 14th. I hope it works this time! Please send some *** baby dust*** my way..
