I’m new to posting but not new to this site. I discovered this site three years ago when I first became interested in using donor sperm and has stalked it ever since lol. I had submitted my paperwork back then but changed my mind about going this route. Well, fast forward to now. I have submitted my online paperwork and plan to TTC in April. I’m 30yrs old, already a mother to one, and single. I decided that I’m no longer waiting around for Mr. Right to have another child.

I'm Stephanie (amazed at how many Stephanies there are here!). I'm 40 years old and a SMBC-to-be. Frankly, this whole process is a little terrifying. When my 40th birthday came up, I decided that I just couldn't wait for the right guy to come along anymore. My support system is great, but their reactions to this could go either way. In any case, I'm beyond thrilled to be trying and anxious to read about all of your experiences, particularly those who are trying at home!
Cheers,
Stephanie

TTC #1
My name is April. My fiance (Alicia) and are are TTC. We are getting married in 2.5 weeks and are excited to begin this amazing chapter! We have been together for years and have talked about having kids a million times, just never seemed like good timing. But we have decided that no timing will be perfect and that now is perfect!
We are so excited, and nervous! We will both be 1st time parents! She will be carrying but I will/am 300% involved.
Any advice/tips?
My name is cristii, my partner and I have been together for 17years and are now TTC. We feel blessed to have found NW and the hope to one day be blessed with a child. I love reading all of your stories....they have truly encouraged us and gave us hope. We did our 1st iui at home on 9/10/14, TWW & fingers crossed!!!
1st Iui- 9/10/14

November TTC
This Is My First Time TTC. We Are A Lesbian Couple But We Both Have Children Outside Of Our Relationship. We Are On This Journey Together. This Weekend We Purchased Our Sperm From Here And We Start Ovulation Testing Later This Week. A Bit Nervous But Excited And Hoping It Takes The First Time.. Any Advice Would Be Great!
We are Lisa and Sharon and we live near Portland, OR. We hope to start TTC in April. We are both in our mid-30s, recently married but have been together for nearly 4 years. We would be interested in meeting up with other couples in the area for support and friendship.
My first try was an ICI at home in September, BFN. On October 13, I had an IUI with my ob/gyn. Now I'm in the middle of my TWW and in the spirit of trying to stay sane, I spend a lot of time here with you. Even though this is the first time I've written, I find comfort in knowing that so many strong women share this journey.
A big, healthy handful of baby dust for us all!
Lucky IUI #6!!!
Expected Arrival Date is January 19, 2016
I'm a single mom by choice via artificial insemination from NWCryobank. My son is 9 and will be 10 in March. I'm now 37 and want another baby. I'm still going back and forth on whether or not to have another baby, but I'm leaning towards having one.
Baby dust to everyone!

I am a divorced mother of a 15 year old son. I have always wanted to have a large family with lots of kids. Things haven't gone my way in the romantic sense. I turned 40 this year and have been well aware of my AMA for several years. I decided that even though my dreams of marriage haven't yet come true for the 2nd time, I can still move forward with my dreams of having more children. I am physically fit and financially stable. I have no reason to believe that I still can't get pregnant on my own so I decided to try at-home fertilization for a few cycles. I selected donor 754p.

My name is Kirsten, my fiance's name is Caitlin. We have been TTC for 7 months now. Our first IUI at our doctors office is coming up at the end of this December! Super excited! Our doctor has recently prescribed "clomid" 50 MG for this cycle days 3-7. I HOPE IT WORKS! I/m dying to have twins! We are using a donor from north west for the 1st time this month. Let me know if you guys have any advise/ success story's! Also have any of you guys done second parent adoption & how does it work??
