edited November -1 in Trying to Conceive
I think this will be my last month of charting....... Iv'e been working on it since November. My Cycles have been pretty close. Somtimes 25 , 26, 27 days..... Is that weird ? or good ? Iv'e been doing the test strips and get a 3 day surge right about when I think it SHOULD be.... 12 to 14 days after first day of AF. Can you all tell me what worked best for you ? Should I fill out my paper work now ? so I can just call in my order when the time comes ? and when should I call ? I feel silly asking questions I can read up on the website but I trust you guys ! Please feel free to tell me everything you think I should know!!!!!! I know Iv'e been MIA this past month. It was hard the first BFN....... We tried with Hubby's Swimmers, Which I found out later was done ALL wrong by my Doc. WONT be going back there !!!! I am so READY to try again, with the donor. Please any advice would be AWESOME! Thank You !!!

    I'm not exactly an expert around here, but I'd say when you find a donor you like, place the order. They will ship it to you based on the date you want it to arrive. There is a free photo matching service.

    Get it a couple days early. Fedex was a day late with my package.

    If you have a cat, find a place you can put the dewer where the cat can't knock it over.

    Good luck, have fun donor hunting:)

    And just in case you didn't know, if you order ahead of time, you don't have to pay storage if you're going to ship them out within the next month.

    Better to order the one you like, then call the week you need them and find out your favorite donor is now out of stock!

    And you can always call them just to ask questions. Zack is really, really awesome. The first time I called, I was just brimming with a billion questions (I also hadn't found the forums yet), and he spent almost two hours on the phone with me explaining how it all worked and answering all my odd questions. After that call, I knew without a doubt this was the sperm bank for us. I feel like I can really trust them.

    Definitely fill out your paperwork so you can order when you are ready. Sounds like you have a very regular cycle, so that should make knowing when to order pretty easy. We always call the first day of Flo and arrange to have it delivered 1-2 days before we figure we'll need it. Have you been temping too? If you know when you tend to get your temp rise after +opk, that can be really helpful in figuring out timing. Good luck!

    I would fill out the paperwork as soon as you know you're going to use NW. I place my orders on CD 1 or 2 and have it delivered 2-3 days before I O. Good luck!

    Yep, fill out your paperwork NOW... not later, NOW! Then you are all good for ordering when it goes through. Calling their customer support is awesome, and as a hearing impaired person I can tell you when you email them they are quick to answer too!

    Oh my, I am so excited for you!

    I say file your paper as soon as possible, that way it's out of the way. It sounds like you've got a good handle on your cycle. Once AF starts, figure out what's the earliest probable day you will ovulate, and order the swimmers to arrive a day or two before. Good luck!!
