Hello Leanne and Selena,

Firstly, welcome! Yep, I found BB the best place too (should I warn you its addicitive...? Well, it is, but thats half the fun!).

I think you've found help on the OPKs. They're a bit tricky to use. I don't think I ever got a full dark line, its just the way some people are, hormones and all them weird and wonderful things!

We used an unknown donor so haven't had to do all the contracts etc. but defiantely make sure that they are done and all the legal issues like custody, access, birth certificate, and the donors role (donor, dad, 'uncle' or 'family friend'...) is clear on both sides. Too many times have people used a known donor only to find once they are pregnant that the donor and the mums have completely different ideas on how the sitautions and relationships are going to work.
(Obviously if you've already done that then ignore me!)
Have you read the book 'Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians',by Rachel Pepper. It's got lots of that info in it

Good luck with your insems! We used an unnknown donor from an Australian clinic so we did IUI, so I can't really help with the specifics of that (though there is a lesbian parents australia yahoo group which is very active... theres a story about it in the may issue of LOTL... if you need advice on the ins and outs of doing it at home ).

Ooooooo, Jodie, are you talking about US!? Hehehe!
