AI...not aliens, the other kind!

[MrsGrapes]

Not really sure where I'm supposed to post this topic, but seeing as it stems from conception issues I thought maybe here might an okay place?

Is anyone doing AI at home? I tried it for the first time last night as its likely to be the only way we will get a BFP and now I'm just feeling disheartened.

Does anyone have any tips on how to do it successfully? I don't think my first attempt went very well lol..

Hi MrsGrapes. We have been trying AI at home too. What makes you feel that it didn't go well? Happy to swap experiences/ tips on here if you like?

Hi Emma! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I lost my post & have only just got round to finding it again!

Good to hear someone else is doing it though - it's not a subject I've found someone to chat over with!

I got a BFN after our first month trying AI at home and next week we will be trying again. This time I've bought some preseed to see if that helps at all. It just felt a bit clumsy and I couldn't seem to prop myself up high enough to keep everything in (sorry, tmi!).

I'm hoping it turns out better this time around!
