Me and my wife will be doing this in October I'm so excited and can't wait to finally be a mom:)
-
This our second iui, and we go for our blood test on the 20th. I'm hoping we are mommies soon!

I just replied to your other post- but we are two mommies too! Neat thing is we are in contact with one of the families that used our same donor who also is a two mommy family. It seems there are a number of us out there. We opted for the IUI and did not do a trigger shot or clomid- just as natural as we could. We would consider using the drugs, but not until after we tried for six months. Thankfully it only took three months. Feel free to drop a line if you have any questions

Thank you ! Good luck to you all
Keep me informed -
My partner and I had our first visit with our reproductive endocronologist. My first visit consisted of an internal ultrasound to measure my uterus and turns out I'm very healthy looking in that general area. We want to try a natural IUI to lower the risks of having twins. Our doctor suggested using two vials of sperm during each cycle( but this is very costly cause we need to buy double to amount for a future sibling). My next test is an HSG test to make sure my tubes are cleared and a blood test...then we are ready for our first IUI!!! We plan on trying in October if not def November. What are your ideas with either using one or two vials of sperm per cycle?
-
We have been trying for about a year now. We are just starting our 1st IVF cycle tomorrow. Good luck.

hi candace0108...do you mind sharing your age? I am curious since you are starting out with a natural IUI. My doctor started me out on fertility medication on the first IUI. I am 38. It was not a success. My doctor also wanted me to only use 1 vial since the timing was based on the LH surge (I test at home around noon) I will be having another IUI next month.

Hi All,
My partner and I had our 1st child via IVF on 3/21/13. She is a healthy little girl named Kennedy. Any same sex couples or any parents period that would like to keep in touch and compare stories feel free to reach out to me or send me a private message. I haven’t had any luck touching base with anyone else who has used our donor even though I know there are a few other’s out there as his pregnancy stats are between 1 – 5 children, even before we reported our pregnancy. We are Hopefully that parents of other half siblings will post to this site eventually. Other than that it took us 2 years to become pregnant, trying off and on during that time frame. We tried twice IUI with a different donor and twice IVF with our current donor (as our original donor was no longer available)…we were successful on our 2nd IVF attempt and were blessed with a beautiful baby girl earlier this year. -
hi! me and my partner had a baby boy 2/21/12! We decided to have a baby and we thought we would try with no help or treatments and see what would happen. a few of our friends were on there like third-forth try so we didnt think it would work and it did surprise lol. i postponed school and stayed home his first yr. i am now in school and we plan on trying again after i finish! im glad they have forums they are so exciting to read !

Hello All, My wife and I just ordered our vials and hope to do a IUI very soon. I'm 38 and my fertility doctor was happy to tell me all signs are positive for a successful process. I'm nervous but excited.

Hi All! My wife and I are just days away from having our twins! We are scheduled for an induction this coming Sunday, although she could start labor anytime. Very exciting! We're having a girl and a boy, and I can hardly wait to meet them! Our journey to our family was difficult at times, but so worth the time, expense, and emotion. Our first pregnancy came on the 4th IUI attempt. Sadly, it ended up in a miscarriage. We were devastated, but committed to moving forward when it was safe to do so. While waiting, we learned that our chosen donor had a rare condition, and his sperm should no longer be used. We had to start a new donor search, and felt fortunate that we found another donor that we liked. After 3 more IUI attempts, we got a BFP. 6 weeks later we learned it was twins! It was quite a shock at first, but now I can't imagine it any other way. Good luck to everyone!

Hi everybody. We started our TTC journey in January of 2012, and I got pregnant this last round of IVF! I'm 8 weeks now. We heard the heartbeat last week. We've had such a rough road we're really hoping this one sticks. Any other lesbian couples in the Austin, TX area?
For those of you who are still TTC, perseverance is the key. -
Hi everyone! My wife and I just had our second round of IUI yesterday, 6/30/13. Right now we are doing it without any meds. My wife, who will be carring is 32 and I am 37. What a rollercoaster of emotions it has been so far! We are excited and now we wait the 2 weeks. Wish us luck!
Thanks for listening.

My girlfriend and I are currently in our 2WW. We used donor 2474. This is our first attempt at a natural IUI. We decided along with the doctor that we would use no medication. I am 25 and she is 34.
-
Hi everyone! My partner (she's 23) and I (I'm 24 and carried him) had a son last October via IUI. It took us two tries before he came into our lives. Just curious, have any of you found any other two-mommy families in your areas? Also good luck to everyone.

We are two moms. Well, mom and mum actually We used donor 4183. Our daughter was born on 4/26/13. We tried for a sibling but we never had a second pregnancy. I got pregnant first try of an IUI with donor 4183. We kept one vial and eventually decided for a second child. We tried IUI and had no pregnancy. Then we tried IUI twice with another donor due to 4183 no longer participating. Then we tried IUI with fertility three more times with no pregnanccy. We should have done IVF after second try of IUI. I just saw that California has a place that does three IVF's for $12000 with a 90% success rate. I am 41 now and our daughter will be four in April so not sure if we will do that or not. We are currently trying to adopt through DSS.

Hi Everyone!
My wife and I are expecting a little boy around 5 Jan 2018 (I'm carrying).
We would love to get together with other couples for lunch/coffee if you're in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC!
So far no one else has posted about our donor (5132) but he has stayed sold out, so I hope to hear something soon!
Good Luck / Congrats to everyone! -
Hello! My wife and I are in Durham and expecting our first in December. Would love to meet up!
-
Hey there Coll,
My wife and I have donor 5132 on the top of our list, can I ask what method you used and how many tries it took with 5132?
Thanks -
Hi everyone,
My wife and I have 2 baby boys from IUI attempts. I tried IUI 6 times w/o any luck. I then tried IVF and had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. My wife then tried and was pregnant with our first son on the second IUI attempt. Our second son came to us via my wife on the first IUI attempt. -
Hi! I haven’t been on here in a while, I hope you see this!
It took one try with an IUI. The motility count was better than fantastic! Are you using this donor?
Feel free to message me!!
