Pregnant lesbian???

Question

Hello everyone! 
For anyone who hasn’t read any of my post before, I’m Jamie! My wife’s name is Morgan and we are currently 7DPO.

We have been married for two years and have been trying to conceive for quite a while.
I’m aware that our chances of conceiving aren’t as great as a straight couple but we have been positive and trying, anyway. My wife, Morgan (the beauty on the left hand side of the picture) is the one who will carry our baby.

We currently have a donor who we found through social media (crazy, I know but he ended up being a great human) and he’s awesome! 
Whenever we first starting trying to conceive we used the syringe method and that (obviously) did not work for us.. we recently switched to using a softcup and preseed. For you ladies who don’t know what softcups are for, the donor we have ejaculates in them and as soon as he’s done, I insert it into my wife where she leaves it for 12 house 😊 
We have done so much research, use opk sticks to watch for her ovulation AND have several different apps. like I said, she’s currently 7 DPO and the baby should be implanting any day now so we are hoping for our BFP!!!

But we know it’s too early so we are like..

ANYWAY, my question to all you lovely ladies out there is...
Do you hAve any tips?? Tricks?? Anything to help us! my wife has wanted this for so long and I just want to make her as happy as possible. This is our second month doing it with softcups and I’m hoping to sticks but if not, I need advice! anything is welcome!!
Thank you! 💕💕💕

Answer

Hi there, Jamie! It seems like we [your wife and my wife] are cycle buddies! We are exactly 7DPO and also hoping hoping hoping for our positive! 
This is our third cycle trying at home and honestly the smoothest insemination we’ve had. We’ve been doing a combination of syringe and soft cup. 
The past two cycle we’ve had success but it didn’t implant, which our doctor and acupuncturist both call a missed conception. 
We’ve got everything crossed for implantation this time around! We’ve been focusing on rest and nutrients and maintaining our positive attitudes! I also read that keeping your feet warm helps create a better environment for implantation, for whatever that’s worth! 
Anyway- I’d love to stay in touch and keep one another updated on our journeys! All the best!

Me and my wife did the same exact thing except we used a friend. I am terrified of doctors so i definitely did not want to have a doctor inseminate me. We had an agreement that we would try using a friend at home 3 times and if it did not work we would go see a fertility doctor. You can buy a fertility kit online and it’s literally the exact same thing the doctor will use. My advice is to track your ovulation with pee sticks and the flow app. Do the insemination a day before your peak ovulation and the day after. Get on prenatals now! Now, the at home situation did not work for us so we used a doctor and went through IUI.. and WE ARE PREGNANT!!! Good luck and do not get discouraged if it does not work at home bc honestly it’s very difficult at home. We told the doctor what we were doing and she said it probably was timing. So get your timing right and good luck again i hope it works for y’all!!!

Hey guys! just to update everyone, my wife and I decided to start the IUI process because home insemination wasn’t working... turns out her Fallopian tubes are closed :( we arent able to have kids unless we have surgery to repair or get IVF... which both are too expensive for us at the moment ☹️
Thanks for all your prayers. They were appreciated. 💕

Answer

This was my third month trying to with my wife. We used soft cups and pre seed. My only thing we did different is I got off every time we inserted a cup. We actually inseminated 5 times total! We had a BFP at 11 DPO!

Answer

Always have it available for the egg... we did the 12 hours in and 12 hours out 
Then 12 hours in and 12 hours out for the full 4 days

Answer

Update to everyone, we got pregnant! our baby girl is now 4 months old! Thank you to everyone who commented hoping a baby for us! 💛

Hello! My wife and I tried at home insemination several times with both softcups and syringes. Neither were successful but I do believe in the process and I too have don’t a ton of research and have seen some success stories. My wife and I will be doing IUI in the next few months. Here it actually isn’t too expensive, the doctor is great and I’m really looking forward to becoming a mommy. Cost wise, so far it hasn’t been too expensive! The IUI process in general is $400 and then we had to pay for our donors sperm to be tested which was $130.
