Re: First Time, HELP!
ICI is best for at home insemination. However, IUI will work as well. I put it in a soft cup then put the soft cup in. Push my fingers in and push the plastic with specimen against cervix. I wait 18 hours AFTER FIRST positive on OPK test . Got pregnant first try with this .
now yesterday I tried again for baby #2 and I ovulated too early and unexpected. My vial didn’t show up until 3 days after my positive ovulation test. So I’ll be lucky if it worked this time :/
Re: Lesbians TTC at home
Hello. My wife and I conceived from NWC at home using both ICI (one vial) and IUI (two vials). My wife was the first to carry. She was on prenatal vitamins for a month prior to trying and we waited for the at home ovulation test to show positive. Luckily for us, she was so regular with her cycle, you could set your watch. Once she showed she was ovulating, we did the baby dance three times using Pre-seed Lubricant each time once at 12-hours after positive LH with ICI, again at 25-hours after with IUI, and finally at 36-hours post positive with IUI. Every time after she elevated her lower back and legs for 45 minutes.
All we used was the “at home insemination” kit that you can purchase from NWC and followed the instructions that were included. Unfortunately, the first time around felt more like a science experiment verse the act of creating a new life, but I quickly got the hang of it and adapted to it the best I could to make it as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Without giving TMI, I would build up to the big moment, place the seed, and then “finish” the deed.
We were blessed that exactly two weeks later after our first try, she popped a positive on a at home pregnancy test. A follow up at the doctor’s office confirmed the results. My wife gave birth to a bouncing baby boy thereafter. I will admit prior to our unbelievably lucky first try, we read dozen books, read hundreds of articles, and my wife was glued to the baby boards.
Now, I’m trying. Unfortunately, my road is a little more rocky as I have PCOS. We are trying all of these tricks again and more. This is my first visit to the boards, so I hope there was something of use. Best of luck to you and yours. And much baby dust to anyone TTC now or near future!
