Hi everyone,
My name is Sjaan, and my partner Misty and I are six months into our TTC journey!
This week we are set to start our sixth cycle attempt, where we have 4 attempts of TTC. We usually do the two days before ovulation, the day before ovulation, and the day of ovulation - to what we have worked out, anyway.
We have a friend who is our donor, he and his girlfriend have three kids together and he is going to get the snip once/if we successfully conceive. He is leaving town in 7 months time. Which is scary because the last six months have gone so fast. We're scared that we're not going to fall, and end up back to square one. We live in an isolated outback town (in Australia) and if we were to find a donor, the closest city we would have to look into is a 8 hour car drive away. And we won't be able to afford petrol, accommodation, and time off work every month.
Our donor deposits into a sterile cup that we supply, we live a 3 minute drive between our homes, in which the cup is kept between my boobs or my thighs on the journey home. For the first 4 attempts we allowed the sperm to liquify for 15 minutes, and the last time we suctioned the sperm straight into the 10ml syringe. I'm not sure which way works best? I've heard success stories from both options.
We've heard about the egg white helping the sperm swim to the egg? Has anyone more information on this? Has anyone used the egg white trick?
I hope everyone is feeling positive about whatever journey you are currently going through. I wish you all the luck in the world.
