Thought I would see who was out there.....
My partner and I have an almost 2 year old son, she conceived with natural IUI from a donor on the second attempt. Now it is my turn to try and conceive and my last cycle was unsuccessful. Is anyone else going through this? I'm trying again in a couple of weeks grin

not any more; expecting DD2 in 12 weeks; DD1 is 2.8. But I wish you luck and hope it doesn't take too long

Thanks! Did you have IuI? How long did it take? Hope all goes well over the next 12 weeks x

home insemination (well, hotel, actually) with known donor (same as for DD1). It took 3 goes shock, DP is 41 and we were kind of expecting to try for about 6 months and then settle into life with one...no-one believes us when we say that she is a bit of a surprise!!

hope it works out well for you

Our son was a surprise, DP was 42 when she conceived, so I know what you mean! I am 34 so hopefully still have some fertility left somewhere!

Hi, I had first via donor sperm now 15 monhs old! Considering looking again for a donor to try for 2nd via ai at home. Not in touch with previous donor so got to start looking again, takes a while to find the right person to help. Good luck xx
