Getting pregnant by my Gay Best Friend - advice wanted on home insemination!

I am 34, single and joining forces with my gay best friend to have a baby. We fully intend to co-parent, and are committed to sharing the financial and emotional responsibilites.

While there are lots of internet resources about anonymous donor insemination, I can't find anything about this situation. I would be really grateful to anyone who has done this to get in touch, and tell me your experiences and any tips.

Thanks!!

work out when you are most fertile and then get him to wank into a cup and then insert using turkey baster. But assuming you know this bit already what else do you need to know?
Is it the legal aspect?

and make sure you're doing it at the right time i guess?

so i suppose i would kind of track my cycle to make sure i knew wheni was ovulating to give it the biggest chance of success.
but i don't know much about that side of things personally

No honestly QFE, I found this poster entirely convincing.

I know the "Thanks!!" smacks of an unpaid researcher straight out of one of the better universities.

But I think you have to cut people some slack occasionally so...

.... Boho, what would you like to know? I almost never talk bollocks about anything, so fire away...

there are lots of old posts on mumsnet about methods if you do a search on insemination in the conception topic. Plus loads of info on lesbian sites (gingerbeer?)

thanks yesterday! that's what we had envisaged in the first instance, though we are not sure how many months to try at home before going for IUI...

There is loads of information on the internet about how to go about this.

Maybe be a little more specific about what you need to know, because it sounds like you just want general material for an article tbh.

well i would imagine you just get him to ejaculate into something (a non-spermicidal condom, a little pot etc), and then get it into you by whatever means you desire.

i think it needs to be fairly fresh, so i guess i would prob get him to do his part at my house, and then inseminate myself immediately

Turkey baster?

tryingtobemarypoppins · 15/09/2009 19:28

Can't you just do the deed??
