TTC using home artificial insemination and Soy Isoflavones

[mammabmamma]

Hi everyone,

I'm new around here, I'm 23 and hubby is a lot older. My husband has low sperm count and motility and low quality sper. I have irregular cycles ranging from 34-98 days.

We have one child together who is now 2 after one try at home artificial insemination. And are doing it again to hopefully conceive another, I am also taking Soy Isoflavones this month which helps with ovulation, it's known as nature's Clomid. I'm on CD14 and I am gearing up for ovulation so I'm really happy it's working!

Just wondered if anyone else has tried either of these and would like to buddy up?

Yes and it worked first time. Found out we are pregnant yesterday. Totally new to Mumsnet (which keeps crashing). Will type again in next post exactly what we did to save another crash. Don't know abbreviations, am 38 with gf 8 years, our first try was 3 weeks ago.

Gay donor came to stay. Days before I drank little and had been taking pregnacare conception for a month or so. That said, 2 weeks before I had been on a wine buying trip where I hadn't been drinking very little.....
Had an early LH surge day before first attempt. We tried once a day every day for 5 days. In theory the 2 days before, the day of and the 2 days after ovulation.
We used dental syringes, sterile pots and Preseed. We warmed the sperm for 20 mins before putting it in syringe. My gf did the warming and injecting and we made it fun and relaxing. I did a shoulder stand for about 20 mins-30 mins after most tries.
Am still in a state of shock that this actuallt worked...
