    My partner and I have always known we were going to have children and it's getting closer and closer to when we want to start the process. I don't even know where to start but I feel as if we should start now because I know it can take a while and I want to be 100% prepared before making a decision on a donor and to actually start the process. I will be graduating in December and want to at least work for a full year as a nurse before actually having a child but we will probably start trying to get pregnant by the end of next year and anyway what I guess I'm trying to ask is where do we start, what do we need to know and do???(To me it's not all about finding a donor, I want to be as healthy as possible before become pregnant, we obviously understand the financial part of it and I want us both to understand everything we can about this process before starting this journey together.) I think we just need a little of guidance on where to begin.

    Here's our story if it helps. We began by sorting through donors, ranking based on health, partner likeness in physical attributes such as eyes, hair, likes and personality (from the available Kiersy tests) and other things such as hobbies that are shared interests. Then we looked at baby pics and made our decisions. We went to the dr.'s office and discussed the desire to have our family at which time my wife was put on prenatal vitamins for about 3 months, then at the 4th month clomid after an ultra sound which showed some great ovaries. On our next visit, an ultra sound which showed two folicles ready to go with two eggs. The IUI was performed and a few weeks later there were two lines on the test!! (It's all fun and games until the two lines pop up-I almost passed out-obviously we were very fortunate and we really didn't think the first time would be a go!!) We are now 10 weeks, due 4-18 with one which will be a...?? We should know in a few weeks. I'll say that we ordered the ICI, because we thought that would be best, but our dr's office then washed it for the IUI process to make things a little more sure. We ordered on the Thurs. after we left the dr's appt and the procedure was Monday. We wish everyone the same great blessings we had and if you have questions, we are glad to answer what we can. Good luck!!

    Should you have sex before or after iui? I keep hearing conflicting stories. Some say it helps and others say don't.
