  • wow you guys have had lots of success that is great! Yes I am in wisconsin and no I cannot come to MN to do any treatments. The biggest thing I was concerned about is that you have to go through child support once you have applied for badger care. I will of course put unknown on the birth certificate and then I think i will be fine but fo sure my pregnancy would be covered and the birth. Wisconsin likes there to be a second party responsible for child support though. and im affraid they might cut me off when they see the unknown

    When my partner was preggo and about 7 months along she lost her job and had to go on state care. She was jobless for about a year. When the renewal came around and they asked about it all we had to do was provide the information where we got the sperm and that was good enough for them as to why there was no "father" involved.
  • i think im going to stick with the unknown. since its a different state i just dont know if they will say hey you knew you couldnt afford this so your out. since i know im covered till 60 days after baby is born at least i wont be stuck with hospital expenses

    What do you mean by no follical dropped?

    You can chart and all that but depending wher eyou go chances are the docs will put you on med as well as trigger you to ovulate, thus figuring out your timing really wont matter as they will plan that all out.
  • I tried to get pregnant since August, 2010, and now I am 13 weeks pregnant. So far my test results are very good, I am 41 years old and will have my first baby when I am 42. I am very exciting. I have been thinking to be a single mother by choice for more than 2 years, and finally decide to go ahead. It wasn't easy, but I don't need easy and just need possible. So far I have support from all my family and friends. In the begining my mom has concern about my decision, but after I talk to her how much I want to have my own baby, how much it means to me, she become one of most strong supportor on my decision. For my advice on which sperm bank is better, I highly recommend Cryogenic Lab. They have good quality sperm comparing to Fairfax. I used two vial of IUI donor sperm from Fairfax, the sperm count was just around the minimal limit side, around 10 milion. But the IUI sperm vial I ordered from Cryogenic Lab was with very good quality, the sperm count was 17 to 25 milion. I got pregnant with the second vial of IUI donor sperm from Cryogenic lab. Hey ladies, if you want to be a mother, keep trying, you will have your dream become true. Financial stable and being able to support a family is important for being a single mother by choice. If you in the beginning thinking about to become a single mother by choice, I highly recommend you to read the book Single Mother by Choice writen by Jane Mattes.

    Why would you need to pick a donor that has both the same blood type and RH factor? That dont make sense to me. Those that get preggo naturally dont consider that factor and I went with one that was opposit.
  • I live in MN and would be interested in learning the name of the Dr. you used, if you are willing to share. I have never tried this before and could use all the help I can get!

    In MN check out Diamond Womens Center. I used Dr. Wavern
  • I hope you hang in there and keep trying. I was in your same shoes 13 years ago. I was still waiting for Mr. Right at age 35 and wanted a baby so bad. My doctor said that if I were living in California it would be the "norm". I am in TX. He totally supported me. My brother and sister did too, but my parents were so against it. However, once my daughter was born, everything changed. She is truly a miracle. She has been the best thing in all our lives. They adore her and spoil her tremendously. I wouldn't change a thing and if I could afford it, I would give her a brother or sister. However, my job doesn't pay much. I will admit that at times finances are a struggle, but having a child is all worth it. She is truly a miracle from God and He has given her to me for however long he deems. You have to do what is right for you, no matter what others say. :-) Just be strong. I began writing a journal to my child from the minute I started the process. It helped a lot. She has just learned she is a donor child and handled it well. I prayed God would lead me to a time that was right to tell her. She actually figured it out herself. I wish you all the blessings in your journey for your child.
