Hi everyone,

I'm so excited to find this forum with other lesbian mamas & mamas to be!

I am a single lesbian in Brisbane - nearly 35 - who is TTC using known doner sperm after a couple of unsuccessful IUI's at the clinic.

I'm very excited to be trying after years and years of wanting to be at this stage!

I lived overseas for a long time and in the last couple of years I came back and have been re-establishing myself with a new job (paid maternity leave !!!!!) and further education, as well as preparing myself physically (herbs, acupuncture, yoga, you name it!! ;-).

It would have been great to have a partner through all this, and over the years I'd thought I might do it with my girlfriend of the time, *but* I do have great, hands on support from friends and family. So I'm single, but not alone. Also, that clock is ticking!

I'm at about day 4 of a two week wait at the moment, feeling pretty hopeful and optimistic :-))
(What a relief it is to have a known donor and therefore not to be spending upwards of $1000 each try)

Nice to meet you all!

Jen
