Queer and Trying Through IUI

Hi, I’m queer and my spouse and I are trying through IUI and donor conceiving. I will be the egg donor/recipient. My doctor has been wonderful in explaining the process and answering my questions oftentimes before I even have a chance to ask him.

I would love to get to know more parents who have or are currently or have conceived through IUI. I would love to hear stories and your experiences to prepare myself a bit more.

Didn't want to read and run!

Not me, and not my story to tell (not sure of the details) a queer childhood friend has their baby through this method, she met her donar in real life but still it was successful.
But I considered iUi and felt very encouraged. Ended up not needing it as met my now partner and life lifed, but was going to do it solo as an older mum and felt excited about it giving me that option x

Good luck on your journey with it I hope you get the family that you want 💕

Understanding ovulation strips

First time using ovulation strips. Let’s say I had unprotected sex at 1am and then tested my ovulation at 11am next morning. It showed negative but with a very faint line. Is it possible at all I ovulated the previous day or during the time of sex? And can get pregnant? I do NOT want to be pregnant and can’t take plan b cuz I weigh too much so I need peace of mind.
