It didn't work...

So we had our first cycle of trying (at home insemination w/known donor) and got a BFN...
I know it was unlikely to work first time but I am disappointed. We can't try again until June as donor is unavialable and doesn't live close.
Any other couples out there doing at home insemknation want to share how many attempts it took you? What, if anything, do you think helped you get a BFP?
Baby dust to everyone trying!
