Hi Chantelle, I’ve done a few home insemination rounds and will do IUI next but without hormones for now (no reported infertility, just gay af :)). One thing I didn’t know was the insemination for my IUI will be done the day AFTER the ovulation test is positive. Less of an issue with the known donor, as fresh sperm lives in your body for a few days. Best of luck!

Wait.... I might be missing something??? Round #1, I went to the clinic within 20 hours of OPK showing +. Was there/ is there a better time?

I wouldn’t want to mislead anyone, just sharing what my doc told me, based on which, the insemination is done 24 hours after the positive OPK test. Your 20 hrs window should have been good. Good luck with your process!

Right here

good luck to all you ladies!! i have friend, her and her wife are trying to conceive and i pray for them every day to get the little bundle they deserve!! hope to see all y’all’s little joys soon🥰

Thats amazing. Congratulations ❤️

Congratulations!

my wife and I are TTC... our donor is a friend and lives in Australia, so we actually may be flying there for insemination since at home attempts haven’t been successful. we are struggling with a LOT of barriers with having a known donor from another country... it’s been really hard, which is why we are now considering spending a lot of $ to fly there and try.

My partner and I did reciprocal ivf - so my egg and she carried and we now have our beautiful 8 month old girl ❤️ happy to answer any questions. Wishing you all the best x

Good luck to all you ladies xx

My wife and I have been married now 3 months and together for 7! We have been TTC for 9 Months. We have tried two different known donors and then we were sent to fertility. All my tests came back good, labs weren’t off, tubes weren’t blocked and make good quality eggs. We wanted to use our known donor sperm but our doctor For whatever reason pushed hard against that. So, against what we truly wanted to Do, we bought sperm from a sperm bank. We plan to try our first IUI first of January. While we are hopeful, we are almost To the point of exhaustion. From the stress, fear, sadness, anger and jealousy. It’s such a range of emotions. Good luck to anyone just starting this journey! It’s tough to say the least. Sending all the baby dust your way!

Not me, but I'm so happy and hopeful for you all! ❤🏳️‍🌈

We also did at home insemination. The donor did not want anything. I gave him a Tim hortons $20 gift card to get a replenishment. I now have a 3 year old daughter. Trying for a second one now

We will soon

Omg I love these stories

My wife and I are from Arkansas! We just had our first little baby in June using a donor bank and a fertility center! ❤️

My wife and I have been trying IUI for 1 year. I’m just about to have my 6th and last round of IUI with the London Women’s Clinic. If anyone has any advice on what ovulation tests to use that would be super helpful 🌈
