I'm a single Mom to a wonderful 2-year-old boy and plan to use the same donor soon to try for # 2. I've also raised my 4-year-old Godson since birth plus have guardianship of my disabled sister.
It took 10 or 11 cycles for me to have my son & that makes me pretty nervous trying again. My life is busy a lot - really just keeping up with 2 hyper boys however I love being a mom & luckily don't mind working 24/7 usually to keep up. I like to feel productive or I go crazy.
We are probably the newbies on here, but wanted to introduce ourselves. My partner and i have been together for 3 years now and are ready to have a baby! We are both 33, and want to try getting prego at home first. We have learned a lot from all the wonderful post on here, and cant wait to be the next one with baby pictures! We will take any advice you can give, and we wish everyone good luck and congrats on their babies.
Please feel free to keep in touch with us...we love meeting new people and hearing their stories!

I'm Kam along with my soon-to-be-wife Beth. We're totally new to this process and have a lot to learn. I'm already trying to figure out what some of the lingo is (had to Google 'SMBC'!). I have a daughter from my previous marriage that has significant disabilities. That definitely leaves me nervous about TTC and as Beth wants to experience pregnancy, here we are.
Looking forwarding to reading through posts and getting know others in similar circumstances! I'd also love recommendations of sites/books you use to help you work through this process (knowing your ovulation cycles, inseminating at home, etc.). If anyone has links to information that has been hugely helpful, I'd love for you to share. Sometimes the internet feels so big when you're trying to weed through endless amounts of information.
We're very excited.
Best of luck to all those ttc!

Baby dust to all that are still trying!! You will get yours!!!!!
I have been thinking about having a child for the last 3yrs and I was hoping I would find a man to settle down with, but that never happened. I will be 34yrs old soon and I feel like my clock is ticking. I ordered an ICI valve a few days ago and will take a pregnancy test in a week to see if I am pregnant. Hopefully it worked. I reside in KY and I do not have any friends or relatives who have ever ordered sperm from a sperm bank. Hopefully I will learn a lot from others on here and maybe gain a few chat buddies.
This has been an idea in my head for years and i kept holding out hope that Mr. Right would come along, now I'm 38 and wishing I had decided to do this sooner. I know some people might say this is the craziest thing I have ever done but I think it might be the most sane thing I've ever done! Excited and nervous, but glad to see that I am not alone in this!
I've been browsing these boards since January when I decided *this* would be the year I start "trying." Finally!
For most of my life, I have been looking forward to being a mom. At 35, I decided that the time for looking for a partner was over (for now) and that it was time to start the process of finding a donor. I spent most of 2013 getting things in order and preparing my body for this challenging process.
I am beyond excited to start TTC now that fall has arrived! I love all the support and encouragement on this site. And I am so glad to finally be joining you all on this journey.
If anyone has any advice for trying at home with frozen I am all ears! Thanks!
I thought it was about time I introduce myself as I've been trolling the boards for a few weeks now. Lol My name is Bianca. I'm 31 years old and mommy to my wonderful 10 year old son. I've been with my hubby for 8 years and am now ready for my second child. I look forward to getting to know everyone! I guess I'll post my questions elsewhere since this is for intros. Hope everyone has a great weekend and baby dust to all!!!
We decided to take a break and regroup...not to mention we were adjusting to being new home owners. So of course I threw myself into TTC research. I came across NW Cryobank and felt hopeful about possibly finding a less expensive way to TTC without the middleman. We are hoping that we can try more often and get two BFP...One for HER and one for ME !
#2 IUI 12/22/13 clomid 50 mg day 3-7 BFN #3 IUI 12/23/13 BFN
#4 IUI 2/14/14 unmedicated BFN
Would some one be kind enough to explain the process from start to finish? Everyone here seems like they have a lot of experience and I'm feeling a bit lost.
