aljm: CONGRATS!!!!!! have a H&H 9 months. and please keep all of us posted on your progress
Hi everyone.
I am a lesbian, married to my wife of 3 years and we have a 1 year old son, concieved by my wife with known donor sperm. The donor is one of our friends and is a 'Fun Daddy' with our son. He has only changed 1 nappy! We are happy to be the main day to day parents and have him in our son's life, they love each other so much!
I am on the birth certificate for our son which is great and I love being a mum.
I am TTC our 2nd with the same donor, I am on cycle 6. My wife only took 2 cycles to concieve so I really feel the pressure! It is also a lot more difficult to find time to relax and I wake up at all different times so I am charting but I am not convinced how accurate it is!
I have bought a ClearBlue Ovulation Kit as I was using the OPK strips and I was struggling to get a good line, but I have had great CM (sorry if TMI!)
I am hopefully ovulating either today or tomorrow according to CM and our donor friend visited last night after our son was in bed. I use a syringe and I used a mooncup (not my period one!) last night straight after and it did feel a lot better when I used my vibrator - less leaky! (again, sorry if TMI!)
So I am awaiting my next period to use the ClearBlue kit, I am feeling more relaxed at the moment with this one.
It has been good reading all of your stories, we have a little local group of Lesbians with kids but we don't really want to share that we are TTC as we don't know them that well (and I am a very private person).
Since the birth of our son I have been inundated with people telling me 'your turn next!' and 'don't leave it too long!' It drives me mad as I am TTC but it isn't always that easy. I just laught it off saying how young our son is and it is working so far.
We think I had a chamical pregnancy right on the 1st cycle but we will never know for sure.
Sooo - that's the essay done!
