Now the wait has begun. My partner and I did our 1st at home insemination yesterday morning. We are anticipating a BFP in about 13 more days now . We have begun our count down and we are so anxious. We are praying that eveything goes well and that we will be blessed with a SON!!!! Can anyone share the success story of their at home insemination (who actually got pregnant on their 1st try).???????detials please

    Me and my partner have just started looking into using the Cryobank. We have been upset and scared we used familiar donors that we knew for the past 2 months to try and concieve and my partner started her period today so we are upset. Going this route is so expensive but on a better note I actualy have 1 biological daughter that I had through Artificial Insemination that I did myself with a known donor and a medical syringe. I got pregnant on the first try. She is getting ready to turn 9 but we are ready for another. we timed it right, we took the ovulation test kit but we still didn't concieve. I'm not rich and it hurts my heart to know that if we spend all of our savings to get the vials and then still don't concieve what then? Good Luck to those of you waiting and for those who have just tried. Can someone give us a little advice on what to do becasue our time is running out we are both almost 35 and I want my partner and the baby to be safe. Any advice would be useful. Thanks

    shan0422- all I can say is to follow your heart. My partner and I have emptied our savings once already, spent time building it back up again and we're in the process of trying, AGAIN. Its been a year since we started TTC! We are not rich either so I totally know where you're coming from. The only thing I can hang on to is that I do believe this will happen one day and the ONLY way it will happen is if we keep trying. :) Hang in there.

    when i saw that the posting said 2 weeks wait. I thought gosh these two weeks are always the toughest, but especially when it is the first insemination (i don't know for me it was). everyone always says just relax don't be nervous. But it is hard to relax when you have to go to drs appts and do injections, and ultrsounds etc. But I found something that works for me and I wanted to share it with you all in hopes it might help one of you.

    Today was the 3rd IUI. I know for some that is not a lot, but when you have so many hopes it seems like a million. The feeling of not being able to get pregnant started to consume me. I knew this feeling was not helping any. And it was consuming me. I finally had an AHHA moment one day. I realized I can only do so much to make this happen and my dr as well. I started to pray and I finally have given this situation entirely up to God. I also knew that a good mom is patient. and i guess my true test is starting even before i conceive. God never makes mistakes and only he knows what is best for me. I have faith he will protect me and when the moment is right he will make his miracle.

    I am not very religious, but I have a lot of faith. I had almost lost it, but I have it again. And I just to wanted let you all know that each and every one of you are very brave and strong women. Just never lose faith because this is when we need it the most.

    Good luck to you all
    Jess

    ok laidies so i have been MIA for a while @hazeleyes I am so sorry to hear that but i know the feeling my partner got her mentsrual to however there is a alot of weirdness to everything so imma start from the top and u guys tell me what u think!!!! Ok so we inseminated on arpil 12, and tested april 25 test was neg then tested again on the 26 neg both test were pee sticks . her period started that night she so the next day we got a blood test on the 27th it was neg, now here is the weird part, my partner normally comes on for 6 days but this time it was only 2 days (light bleeding) not spotting though just a light flow then after it was over she still had all the symptoms, uterus cramping, tender breast, eating all the time, weight gain 122 now 127, headcahes, nausea (no vomit though),and heart burn, also she says its hard for her to bend down because she feels like she is pressing on something in her stomach not to mention she is bloated and constipated. im starting to wonder if ther is a chance she could still be prego?????

    I got another BFN too. This was our 7th try and believe me it doesnt get any easier. Looks like we will be moving to injectable meds this next time. AF is due anytime and I will start meds on CD2.

    Good luck to eveyone else!

    Hey Mom2b:

    I think it's totally possible that she could be prego if what's she's experiencing is not her norm. The pee on the stick tests may not be picking up the hormones that develop during pregnancy... Maybe she should run into the doc to take a blood test (more accurate and can detect the pregnancy a lot stronger than the sticks) to confirm??

    Good luck!!

    I am always looking to find people like me so I can feel normal again. My partner and I have done 4 IUI's with a doctor and 3 home inseminations and all failed. We had to put everything on hold when my wife lost her job last very due to the falling economy. Baby plans was pushed far back on our priorities but always on my mind and in my heart waiting for the day to start trying again. Today is the first day coming back to the site to check out some options and maybe get the process started again. Looking for that perfect donor. I need to make a appointment to start things rolling again because every thing expired at the CCB because of the break we were on. I wish everybody the best of luck.
