Answer

Hey Amber .. this is an exciting time.. you and your partner need to discuss alot and go with your hearts! Above anything it defintley helps to know your body and your cycle by tracking your period and bbt and cm. we started tracking almost a year ago another lesbian couple coached us that had success twice with beautiful boys doing at home iuis with needleless syringe and catheters. We tracked for 6 months before attempt we practiced and charted our hearts out and also used the natural herb vitex chasteberry after following another couples success on youtube. We wanted to conceive our child at home but after 4 failed attemps it didnt work.

We consulted a dr only to find out my partner had low hormone counts during cycles. We also found out we had good insurance and finally found out last week we are pregnant joyfully with our first after 2nd iui with dr. and a whole lot of prayers

We could not be more grateful!! and know we have alot of love to give as we are celebrating 10 years together in 2 months we learned alot!! but defintley regretted not consulting a dr from the start.

I have faith that you and your partner will be great good luck in whatever you decide but i definitley recommend doing your homework

Answer

I tracked my ovulation using ovulation predictor kits only and then on day of ovulation we inseminated. Also used preseed and soft ups :) we got our BFP on our second cycle. I'm now 28 weeks...the month before we inseminated a couple of days before my expected ovulation day and it never worked

Answer

Most people don't know whether they habe fertility issues before trying to get pregnant.

But wherever you are starting from, getting to know your cycle and ovulation surge is a good idea.

I got pregnant in my first unmedicated IUI cycle. With pre-diagnosed PCOS. And I had to fly to a different country because of the law. I let the fertility clinic choose my donor. And I was extremely lucky, as the success rates are 2 to 7 percent with the first try depending on which study you are looking at.

I used the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, a BBT thermometer after waking up each morning and the occasional Cervical Mucus check in the evenings. The Glow app helps a lot, too. Or Ovia.

When approaching my fertility window in the cycle where I wanted to get inseminated, I took an additional ovulation test in the evenings and mornings. I used Clearblue Digital. Luckily! Because the morning my ovary went "showtime!", the monitor stick didn't pick up the surge, but the Clearblue Digital did.

It was a crazy weekend in Copenhagen. I am now 28 weeks pregnant.

Good luck to you! Let me know if you have questions!
