Hello Everyone,
This is my very first post. I did my first IUI on March 25th (Sperm from PRS). That IUI didn't work. I'm African American (Caribbean) and I don't have fertility problems but I was in a relationship for 7 years and on birth control and well that came to an end. I wanted a child with him but I couldn't force him to.. and one day he got up went to Korea for work and never returned. I guess guys can move on without even telling you. I cried and moved on with my life but being that I was only with him and he was my only relationship I never felt comfortable in just dating anyone. That was never me. He was my first kiss, first date, first everything. Well I changed my life. I got Saved. I got Baptized. And I went to God asking him to please help me create this wonderful child. I never thought this would be my life but I have my mom, sister,brother, aunt and a close friend behind me. I haven't told anyone else yet because I don't want to answer questions and have to deal with any negative feedback.
So far I've gotten a OB/GYN Dr. that is from God. Insurance wont cover my bills and he's doing this for free for me. From visits to u/sounds. I just cover the meds.
After the first IUI I cried but I trusted God and he wiped my tears away. So I skip April and looking forward to May and hope the 2nd IUI works with the new donor from FairFax.
Anyone use donor 4329?
Well thanks for reading hoping to meet mothers on here because I really dont have anyone I can talk to---DON'T know anyone whoever did this....My First on my OWN.
God Bless each of you trying.

Hi NGrace,
I have a very similar experience. BF left after 6 1/2 years. The morning of my transfer he told me that he didn't want to continue the process with me. We had seven embryos incubating and waiting transfer. He told me I couldn't have them and he was done with me. The fertility clinic presented me with the donor option. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I would have children this way. Honestly, it's the best thing I have ever done. I have five month old twin girls and couldn't be happier. Good luck on your journey.
Hi Ladies,
I have thought about having a baby this way for a very long time. Ever since I was 28< I would say, okay when I'm 30, then it was 32, and so on. So after the next failed relationship I said that's it, no more waiting! My dr said, well, you have been talking about this for a very long time. So now I have this amazing 4 year old daughter and I couldn't be happier! It's not easy being the only parent, but its great. Grace, that is so awesome your dr is doing it for free. My insurance doesn't cover fertility after age 45, so I have I have 6 months to decide if another miracle is in our future. My daughter really wants a baby sister. But I am friends with some of my daughter's half siblings so I tell her you have sisters and brothers but if God wants to give us one He will.
So nice to meet you Barbra and thanks for sharing your story. I have always felt that I was destined to be a mother. Never in a million years did I imagine I would have children this way using donor sperm but I feel this is the best decision I have ever made and I couldn't be happier too. I would love to connect with you. I see that your daughter is four. I am wondering what your experience is like now that she is that age. Questions she may have? Do you tell the school when holidays like "Father's Day" comes around? I am going to send you a PM. Hope you don't mind.
