Well it has been a while hasn't it! So many things have happened and we have been on a roller coaster this last 2 months.
Going back to July - we were due to inseminate around about the 22nd July to the 24th July however on the 12th we got a smiley face! We didnt believe it to be honest as it was so early so we didn't go to see our donor and waited until the next day to retest. Smiley again that morning so text him to let him know. He was happy and suggested we come round any time that night. WOW how nervous was I!!!!
So off to work we went then came home around 5pm and packed the bag ready to take to his house I didnt know what to pack or how many to pack to went with the theory better to have too much that to little!
I put in the bag
10 5ml syringes
5 sotfcups
2 sanitary towels
Antibacterial wipes
Baby wipes
Conceive plus tub
Toilet roll
Nappy bags
Donation cup x 4
We had tea then left here and were so nervous on the way there to the point I could have been sick lol! On arrival it was quite surreal at first as we hadn't seen him in a while and had only been emailing etc. After the usual chit chat we went to the bedroom and awaited the donation. All sorts were running through my head by this time.
10 mintues or so later knock on the door and he handed us the donation. We took it and put it on the windows ledge to look at. It had been a very long time since I'd seen this stuff (let alone smelled it)
I placed the tub in my bra to keep it warm while the wife put the bed cover on the bed we had brought with us. In your bra its lovely and warm and also dark so its a good place to put it!
Once she was all on the bed ready to go I prepared my tools (lol)
I had read lots of reviews on the Preseed and Conceive Plus stuff so we went for the Conceive Plus as it seemed to be quite sperm friendly and make the vagina more friendly and easier to swim etc. So while I was warming the tub in my boobs we decided to put 2ml using the syringe in H so it would make her all ready for the donation.
After 10 minutes the sperm had changed from a sort of white phlegm looking stuff to liquidy (mad eh) and this means it ready to go in the syringe. Now because I had already had some Conceive Plus in the syringe it had coated the inside so in my mind protects the little guys when they get sucked up in there.
I drew up the sperm - oh my it was about 7ml!!! So I had to take just over 5ml then put that in. I did it very slow like I had read. Down side was it came back out and round the syringe and in the back of the plunger!!!! (how I do not know) so the syringe was now flooded down the gap where the plunger had gone in. So I poured this in to the softcup as I didnt want to waste any of it!
H then had an orgasm as it is suppose to help suck the sperm up to where it needs to be. Then I put the softcup in to hold it all in place. Up she popped and we packed up all are stuff and went to say bye to our donor.
He agreed to come to our house the next night as its quite a way may be an hour or so between us and him.
The next day we did the same as before but there was only 3ml this time which was a better amount. However as we were in our own house this time H was more relaxed and so had a better orgasm. This then resulted in 99% of the sperm pouring out much!!! Screaming I am trying my best with the syringe to pick up the little guys and put them in the softcup!
My advice ladies, the inseminator stay at your end!!!!! Let your missus sort herself out and you stay at the business end softcup at the ready!!! So when it all comes flying out you can catch it and stick it back in!!!
So that was July...... BFN
BUT that was a blessing in disguise as H ended up in hospital and needed many x rays and tests which would have been impossible had we got a BFP.
So after this test and that test she was diagnosed with Achalasia.......... What would this mean? At the time of diagnosis she'd lost 28lb in weight in 6 weeks and couldnt eat or drink anything. After seeing a consultant she went for a balloon dilation and this allowed her to eat and drink phew but it is not a fix and this disease cannot be cured.
This put a real downer on us and the lady at the hospital said she would need a dilation every 3 months. EVERY 3 MONTHS???? How can we try to conceive if every 3 months she needs an x ray and a dilation?
So we are going for a second opinion. Now these dilations can last 2 months, 2 years, 20 years so we thought we'd crack on with the trying for a baby and if it happens it happens!!!
So this brings us up to September!!
We inseminated Saturday and Sunday expecting the smiley any of those days but it didnt come! Monday morning no smiley, Monday night SMILEY!!!! YAY!!!! But he couldnt make Monday night so we went Tuesday instead. Tuesday morning smiley, Tuesday night no smiley so ovulation was coming! Tuesday night we visited him as he had visited us over the weekend. 3ml this time and we put 1ml Conceive Plus in first, then sperm which came running back out again as H was tense but I caught it in the softcup!! So I then put the softcup right in and we left that in over night till the morning. That was Tuesday its now Friday so I think we are 3 or 4 days past ovulation.
I am hoping and praying this time its worked. I suppose the 2 stone weight loss might help not that she was over weight to start with. It's me that needs to lose about 5 stone if I am to stand a chance of carrying the second child in a year or twos time!
I'll keep you posted on the result. We should have either AF by the 16th or a BFP by the 17th so think happy thoughts and send us some baby dust!
If anyone wants any tips on inseminating let me know, I've done it a few ways now and finally settled on the one I think gives us the best chance. Oh a tip use puppy training pads for under your wife/missus/partner as they soak up all the spillage they are excellent!!! and they never leak no matter how much runs away!
