Hey guys
Im a british midwife who has been around this side of the world a while... I do agency so currently get around most of Brisbanes maternity hospitals... maybe i will come across some of you ;-)
My partner and Ihave been down this road before with 6 months of donor insemination with no luck in sydney... we gave it a rest for a year.... wahhhhhhhhhhh for the emotional journey!!! and now we are in Brisbane and thought we would give it another bash.... now i know i am a midwife but can anyone recommend a gay friendly IVF doctor/clinic as some of you have probaly had some good experiences. It would be great to get a recommendation... also we are keen to use my partners egg in my belly as mine are probaly a bit old and also this idea makes us smile.....
Its a big journey... i wish you all super sparkly luck....
oh also we are keen on making some new friends as we left ours in sydney :-((

would love to meet lovely like minded women to share laughter and chats.... get in touch.. we are in pinjarra hills with 6 chooks and 4 dogs.... the dogs make one dog if you stuck them all together!!!! .... our place is big there is room for plenty...

welcome angelicgirl I think QLD Fertility Group in Bris are quite open- minded

[hierophant]

though I'm not in QLD and haven't used them myself, I've heard good reports about Queensland Fertility Group being very accepting of lesbian couples.

We have been going through Queensland Fertility Group and have been very happy.

Good luck.

After reading through this thread I thought i'd do an intro too! I'm Wendy and with my partner of 7 yrs Nic, we are awaiting the arrival of our twins concieved through donor insemination - a 'home job' as we like to call it. I already had 2 children from a previous hetro relationship who are now 13 and 9 and very much looking forward to being big brothers to thier new boy and girl siblings. We live in a northern WA town which is surprisingly good, but we miss being a part of a glbti community.
I'm almost embarrased to say how easy it was for me to get pregnant The twin thing was quite a shock though! Because we are expecting twins we get a lot of people asking if we concieved 'naturally' or through IVF. I am constantly amazed at how intrusive complete strangers can be with thier questions about conception!

Anyway, great reading through the forum and good luck to all the lovely ladies TTC!

Hi all... I'm Rachel. Just found this forum thanks to the SameSame Forums.

My partner Jo and I are just about to begin the journey of starting a family. It seems like such a long road ahead of us. It's very daunting.

We live in Toowoomba and are planning on going to the Queensland Fertility Group in Brisbane. Our first job is to find a Specialist Doctor. Would love it if anyone has any recommendations of which doctor to see at Queensland Fertility Group. Hope the waiting list isn't that long...

All advice or experiences are very welcome.

Anyway, What a great forum this is. Look forward to chatting with you all.
