Hi everyone 
We have decided that after months of quietly following this forum that it is time to introduce ourselves!
I am 25 and my partner is 23 - we have been ridiculously in love for a little over 2 years and are now planning for our future family.
We are going to begin trying to conceive next year through a clinic. I have begun monitoring my cycle (I will be the tummy mummy) and have also been trying to become as healthy as possible before we begin IUI.
We look forward to sharing stories with you all!
I think that is everything...
Thanks!

We're on the northside too! Bellmere (Caboolture). We'd love to have some other couples to chat to and have coffee with

We are serious homebodies! HAHA. But we do venture out for coffee occasionally. We are currently in the middle of moving house (CHAOS!) but when things have settled down a coffee could be nice. Thank you for being so welcoming

Hey Shades, I noticed in your blog that you went through QFG? We were curious about your experience with them, but I don't know how to send a private message haha. Sorry.

I thought they were great - there's an initial registration fee which was a little annoying but then you get free access to a psychologist and stuff as a perk so it balances out... The doc I went to was Dr. Gordon Kilvert and he's really great - I can also recommend Dr. Hine - he'll keep you laughing
Oh and you won't be able to PM until you've posted 25 times or 50 times or something... Can't remember the number.

Hello just wanted to introduce ourselves. New to forum and still finding my way around. My name is Soo and my partner is Gerri, we are newly married in April surrounded by our families and friends and a breath taking committment ceremony and are discussing children. We are leaning towards home insemination (a friend has kept the turkey baster in a safe place for years!! lol)with a known donor but not sure where to find information that may help us on our journey. We live in Victoria and would appreciate any help or guideness. Take Care Soo |

Hey Sood,
If you have not yet found a donor you could check out the website or you can look on pink board. We also used a known donor and have just come home from Melbourne after doing an artificial insemination. Any questions you have feel free to ask away

Hi all, I'm new here too.
My name is Kris and my partner is moving to Australia from America to be with me, we want children so we've been doing all sorts of research then I found this group and thought I'd join
We'll probably be using IVF with donor sperm, we're just looking into all the rules and requirements when it comes to that. Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories, it really makes things easier for us newbies

Thanks for the welcome B
I'm in Newcastle NSW, not exactly sure when my girl is coming over...just trying to sort out a visa and all.....it's kinda complicated but it's possible I was surprised to see how many rights we actually have here, i was planning on moving there but it was almost impossible!
Congratulations on your lil bubba, i bet you guys are stoked  |
