hi our donor also lived a few hours away when we where trying to fall preggies with our first baby we travelled to where he lived at ovulation time and after 6 months we fell pregnant with our little princess . We have now moved to north queensland and our donor still lives in canberra and we are starting the process again, we found when we rang the IVF clinics ( we self inseminated first time round) that you can still use your donor but you cant self inseminate you pay for the storage of the sperm at the other end, transport costs, storage your end, them transporting it to your doctor, then the insemination cost plus you have to do there 6 month process before your first insemination, talk to counsellors etc hence we are flying to canberra at ovulation time or when needs be flying him up to us. fingers crossed second time round happens quickly!!!
hope this helps good luck !!
