Officially trying for baby #2

So i have a 14 month LG from using a donor but sadly the same donor wont donate again, ive found a new donor and did the first insemination today, although im planning it i still feel super nervous that can i actually do this, be a single mum of 2 potentially under 2! I know im just in panic mode i felt this with ny LG but feels surreal to be back doing this again, im not expecting it to work first time like it did with my LG but im really hoping to be pregnant by the end of the year at least 🤞🤞

How did you do insemination in office or yourself at home

I'm having trouble concieving naturally since my missed misscariage

I'm wondering if me and my partner did home insemination if it would work but he thinks that's weird

I did home insemination, i did a lot of research on syringes etc and found one on ebay that had amazing reviews and i thought id try it and got pregnant 1st time so i bought another for trying for a 2nd.
Some couples go to home insemination it may sound weird but sometimes can be more effective so you can just enjoy sex for sex rather putting pressure on yourselves to conceive

He thinks I'm weird for suggesting this cuz I usually get pregnant easily like our first was three months of trying then I lost the baby at six weeks then second one I lost baby at four weeks and then had our daughter and then lost a baby after her again around six weeks then I got pregnant last oct and lost the baby in February at around 13 weeks 5 days

I feel he secretly is not caring if we do cuz he is fearful of more loss

it doesn't sound like insemination would be helpful for you, because as you say you get pregnant fairly easily, so the sperm is getting where it needs to go.

You would be better off seeking help from the recurrent miscarriage service, your GP should be able to advise how to access them. They may be able to put a plan in place to support an early pregnancy before you next try and conceive

I agree with it seems that you can get pregnant easily but certainly need to be referred to a specialist that deel with reoccurring miscarriages to see what the issue is.
Im sure youll gwt there and have another baby keep thinking positive and not put to much pressure on yourself which is easier said then done but none the less you have your LG so what ever will be and you have her no matter the outcome, thats what ive been saying to myself if it doesnt work this time around i have my LG and no matter what shell always be enough ☺️

I have been told my last misscariage happened due to triploidy which is incompatible with life they live only hrs to days it's caused by two sperm fertilizing one egg too many chromosomes the other misscariages were early and could have been from low progesterone I've been in progesterone every pregnancy since my daughter

I'm glad I have my kids but I really do want more hoping there's a rainbow someday I have two wonderful daughter 12 & 1 yr old

yes triploidy would be an unviable embryo, but insemination isn't going to help that.

Avatar

im sure it will happen when you least expect, sometimes taking a break and just having that time to take a breather sometimes helps as well let you body recover, but keep thinking positive x

@Charley triploidy is not genetic I was told it's a rare fluke thing and we have a healthy child together so it's highly unlikely to happen again it's 1 in 250000 our child actually lived longer than average for this condition

Avatar

I was told by a genetic counselor that I have a 1 percent chance of ever having it happen again

Avatar

yes I know, that's why I'm saying insemination isn't going to change that. Insemination is only helpful when there is an issue with sperm meeting the egg. Which there isn't in your case

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??
