First month insem/BD question

Heather • Tue, Sep 16

Hi everyone,

We are a same sex couple using a known donor for at home insemination. This month will be our first round TTC. I've tracked with Glow for about 10 months and used opks. I get a positive opk on the exact day Glow predicts the highest chance (32%). Because we have a flexible donor, should we insem the day before, day of, and day after? Any help would be much appreciated!

I say the day before. Because the sperm can live up to 3 days.

Thanks, that's my hunch

I've been doing IUI at a fertility clinic. They inseminate the day after a positive opk. I'm being monitored with ultrasounds so mine isn't done that way but I know it's their protocol. I've also heard of back to back to back inseminations, meaning 2 days in a row. It can't hurt!! Good luck.

Ask your doctor what day is best.
