Pregnant with 11812 on first try!

Here's the detailed info about how I did it *TMI Warning*

My last cycles starting from Nov. were 27, 27, then 26 days long so I thought I would ovulate around the 12th or 13th day of my cycle. As the time crept nearer and I had no + OPK(target brand) which I had started daily since cycle day 9 I became nervous but I had also started checking my cervix which was pretty high on day 12 but minimal cervical mucus. Any way I just decided to go for it at 1 am on the 13th day.

I got out the box and read that I need gloves, having none I gloved my hands with 3 pairs of socks and shaking I removed the vial from the tank and set it on the counter. Then I made myself "0" then I held the vial upright in luke warm water for a few minutes turned it back and forth to see if it was liquid, it was. Got my 5ml medicine syringe and tried to draw it up but could get more than a couple drops so I squirted it back it, all the while thinking how I am screwing up all the sperm and they're all going to die. I tilted the vile a bit and tried again to draw it up, some fluid spilled on my finger, yes I let those valuable little swimmers escape.
Frustrated I grabbed a glass cup poured the vial in and drew it all up, how much time did I waste exposing these little guys to air ahhhhh.

Finally I laid on my bed, pillows propped under hips and inserted syringe till I thought I felt cervix then slowly pushed it all out. I laid with hips propped for 20 minutes then laid on left side and right side with pillow still under hip area about ten mins each side then I had another "0". My plan to stay in bed all night got interrupted when my daughter came barging in wanting some water...ran to the kitchen got it, ran back to bed and slept, woke up and "0" again.

Totally thought I failed, no + OPK, no temping, wasted some sperm, and the ones kept getting squirted in and out of a syringe, they surely were all shook up.

A week after insem I had weird sharp, shooting, tugging cramps and that night I wiped and had a tiny hair like pink spot in my cm, implantation spotting? Well I didn't get a faint positive until Friday and since then they have all been positive. I'm so excited, hope this helps some people be more optimistic : ) Good Luck ladies and lots of baby dust and sticky vibes!!!

  • Wow! Yay for you! I plan to try with 11812!
  • Congrats!!!
  • funny your story sounds exactly like ours, inclding the accidental spillage lol. Im on the 12th day post insem and I have taken three tests all to early, who can wait?, and all of them said not pregnant...hoping it was just too early to tell and that our surprise is still coming. also inseminated 18 hours or so post LH surge so hoping our timing was right as the sprem is only supposed to survive 12 to 24 hours and I ovulate sometime in the 24-32 hour range afte my surge. Just hoping for begginers luck...this waiting is AWFUL!!!!
