Hello to everyone!

We thought we would come on and say hello! We are Leanne 29 and Selena 37 and planning to ttc at the end of the year. At the moment we are trying to gather as much info as we can and get Leanne's cycle down pat. We have chosen to use a known donor as this sounds like the best option for us. We are both nurses and Leanne is a student midwife also due to finish in december this year so we have some knowledge but its great to find this website for contacts and info. Most of the other sites are overseas and hetro only so its hard to relate to them. We live in Townsville, Nth Queensland, is anybody from around this area? We thought we might ttc via home insemination first of all and try our luck before doing IVF. Has anybody else had issues with the ovulation test strips? We have found that the second line never fully gets as dark or darker than the control line. Is this normal? We have only tested one cycle so far so we will get used to the process as the months pass and get closer to doing the real thing. We just wanted to introduce ourselves and wish you all luck and happiness with the conception and pregnancy process. Looking forward to chatting to you all soon.

Leanne and Selena
