Please Introduce Yourself!

SIZE="6"][COLOR="Purple"]Hi, my name is B.J and I am TTC my first child on my own with a donor! I have never found the right partner, male or female, and since I have never been with a man at age 38 (true!) with a few bad experiences in life (both female and male bashings/rapes), I'm finally ready and Im running out of time, (Therapy takes a lot of your life up indeed!) so now I have my Donor.

I will meet him on 28/4, due to Ov on the 1st May. I am trying to concieve a girl, so there is no point inseminating on Ov day, or it will more than likely be a boy!

I don't want to sound sex bias, but I will be bringing up baby alone, and girls seem to gel better with their single mums.

I am scared, nervous, and fully aware of this huge life changing decision I have made, to bring a 'mini me' into the world and speaking in my artist's voice 'mould and sculpt' a beautiful, confident, well adjusted human being! Well TRY anyhow!

I don't know if it's wrong to want a child to mend a broken heart or if that idea would only cause one, in the grief that my life wasn't what I wished it to be, Uni degrees and all later, but you can have a go or die trying thats what I say! And there is already enough pre jugement in the world as we know in the Rainbow world' of Licorish all sorts, without having to justify the want of a child!

I was a bit confussed about the proceedure, I wrote to Rainbow babies and they didn't know the answer, but I've been told to 'put it (the sperm) in ASAP' as light, air and cool temp kills it off fast!

I am still a little upset that my Psych forced me to tell my GP sooner than i was ready, but its all out there now we know what we're up against, and what we have to do ...........

So, I take a HUGE gulp of breath and cross everything I can and hope it works. I think my donor is excited too, this is his first private donation outside the IVF clinic. Then the trick is to keep it there with my Diabetes the way it is![/SIZE][/SIZE]

You're not the first to try this path BJ - there are at least another three single lesbians who are pg or ttc on here, including myself. There is support out there if you know where to look - try googling "SMCAustralia" all one word - the first link that comes up may be helpful. I still spend more time here to be honest though.

Thanks Shades! I've had confirmation from my donor and I am feeling so much better, and its nice to know I will have some support on here too! I guess in 16 days I'll know if its worked!

Best of luck - and you should probably take that pic in your sig down - it's a bit big for the forum guidelines...

Yep- It ok, I'm just fiddling to see how it all works!

Hello everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself since I am new to BB and TTC. I am Tish(29) and my partner is Cass(27). We have been TTC for a couple months now. The first cycle we went natural to see if I was ovulating and found out that I do not. The cycle we are in now has been very stressful. I started the Clomid 50mg on day 3 and had no response. Started Clomid 100mg on day 9 along with a water sono. Ultra sound showed that I had two mature eggs on day 14. On day 15 Cass gave me a shot to make me ovulate and yesterday, cd 17 we went in for the insemination (IUI). I am trying not to stress. I really want this to work on the first try.... it is very stressful and drawn out waiting on cycles and tests. We have to wait for 2 weeks to take a pregnancy test. I will have to be optimistic and hope for the best!
