Home insemination help.

[openhearted]

Hi all, I'm 39 and hoping to try home insemination next may/June. Is there any tests that would help me on my journey that I could get done by my GP ? What are the best vitamins to get and how many months befor trying to conceive shall I start them ? I'm planning on using Cryos how has everyone else found them ? Plus can I use pre-seed ? Just any and all help really. No one in my real world has tried to conceive this way.

All I can say lovely is that I've dithered about this for Years, and tried to make it work with the wrong people.

I wish I had done this 5 years ago when my odds were better.

I have to say that having done it, and feeling so nervous, I'm good, really good, with the decision. And I'm already planning next cycle as I'm owning it now.

It's not the ideal, it's not what I pictured, but (if it works) I'd rather be a strong mumma who owns the fact that she wanted a small so much that she took it in to her own hands, no surprises, no unpredictable other human, not saying it's best, but it's open and secure. If it's meant to be, then it's meant to be :)

If mr right comes along then great, but I'm not going to put baby pressure on them :)

Thank you @Freezerbump for the kind words. It's so reassuring to chat to someone who's going down the same path I'm hoping to be on in a few short weeks. Good luck for your TWW fingers crossed x

@openhearted anytime, I know how you feel.. if you've got this far, all I'd say is jump, the water is tepid.. and there's more people here than you would think..

Don't get too tied up with perfect height/weight/hormones/ vitamins..

Just relax, there's nothing to lose, expect nothing, lose nothing, jump in, the water is tepid ;)

Hey @freezerbump any updates for us? x

@LanieM87 hi! Had to have a break feb due to unexpected mains drain and carpet replacement (not a euphemism) so now just contemplating a march effort!

@freezerbump 😂 haha oh dear! Got to love these unexpected problems! I was hoping to start myself in March/April but it’s not looking likely due to my periods still adjusting. You’ll have to keep us updated with how your getting on 😊
