Hi MummyMummy

We are the proud parents of a 5yo girl and a 5mth old boy (the first conceived by insemination and the second via IVF) and we really love the age gap

We would love to chat and meet more like-minded people. My partner and I are on the south-side of Brisbane.
You can email us on jblee8278@bigpond.com

Hi Jinda
Would be happy to answer any of your questions

You can contact me on my email jblee8278@bigpond.com
My partner and I used an unknown donor through a fertility clinic (the same for both children)
We don't know many other same sex couples either but are very open to meeting more

The Facebook group is almost all lesbians, despite the name

Hi Mikinda,
I know this is an old post, my partner (31) and I (25) are a lesbian couple from the Gold coast and we will begin TTC this month. We are using Queensland fertility group at Pindara, they have been fantastic and the process has been smooth and simple.

We had considered using my partner's brother as the donor but decided to go with an unknown donor from the US as we felt it was a safer option legally, we are lucky enough not to have any objections from her family regarding the child not having a genetic link to her.

We will be TTC using IUI at the end of the month as I have no known fertility issues, the specialist is very confident and says I am a perfect candidate for the procedure. My partner and I are so excited and cant wait until we start trying I hope the next couple of weeks fly past.

Feel free to ask any questions I will try and answer what I can.

Good luck

Erin

Hi Mikinda,

My partner (31) and I (25) are a lesbian couple from the Gold Coast we will start TTC this month. We are using queensland fertility group at Pindara they have been great and really easy to deal with, the whole process has been smooth and stress free.

We considered using my partners brother as the donor but decided against it and used an unknown donor from the US because to us the cost of donor sperm $950 was a small price to pay for piece of mind in regard to legal rights of the child. We are lucky enough not to have any concerns from her family in regard to the child having a genetic link to her as I will be carrying.

Our fertility specialist will be doing a natural IUI cycle with me later this month, which is great no drugs or hormones as I have no known fertility problems, my scan was great and he says I am great candidate for the procedure. He is extremely positive about our potential for sucess.

Feel free to ask me anything you like and I will try and answer they best I can

Good Luck

Erin

Hi there, just did a hunt for this group and had no luck. Could you pm me an URL? We have two boys 1 & 3.5 and we are moving to paddington in brissie from Melbourne next month. Very excited to have a warmer winter and a bigger backyard! Very keen to join in on any playgroups/meetups that are happening. Any info /links would be much appreciated.

I think it'll be among those Indadhanu is giving you from the other thread, I don't go to that one any more as they are mostly friends with my ex.
