Anyone having DI?

[WigglyBumsMum]

I conceived dd 3 years ago by donor insemination as dh sperm count big fat zero. TTC again using sibling sperm. Anyone else out there having DI?

Hi, I have had three kids by DI. Best thing I ever did and I know how worried I was about it all! My three all have the same "Dad" and the eldest is now 14! I wish you loads of luck and you are welcome to write to me if you want for a chat. [email protected] anytime. If I can help I will!

Hey Fiona, only just found your message, was frantically checking the board all last week. Gave up on ever getting a reply (and went away for long weekend) just as you posted.

Feeling less fraught than last week now anyway. We had 6 samples of sibling sperm, so we're on this big countdown. 3 BFN's so far, so 3 samples to go, and a national shortage if we run out. So what's been killing me is the decisions - the question about when / whether you move to DIVF, whether stim offers me any advantages. So all our attempts so far have been un-stim, and it's the needles and drugs that scare me as much as anything.

Last time around we conceived on 4th attempt (all un-stim). Anyway, plan now to meet consultant to discuss what stim offers me if anything, before one final attempt DIUI, then on to DIVF. There's a summer to look forward to!

Can't believe you were lucky 3 times - did you go DIUI or DIVF?
