Trying With Donor

So E.M. and I have discussed this.... my cycle seems fine now that it started and I am no longer ill. And we've spoken with a male friend who identifies as Gay - I have known him for years.... probably at least 6 and E.M. met him through me when we got together. Anyway, he was our first donor last year when we miscarried the first time. He still wants to give us a child and we feel that as long as my cycle is decent and I ovulate properly we don't see an issue in atleast attempting a pregnancy this cycle.

We of course are not at all expectin it to "stick" however we can't see turning him down because he is genuine and we have asked him multiple times in the past to help us and he has never once hesitated. He is a great guy and we figure if it is meant to be then that's fantastic, if not then we will start insemination with frozen specimens in May as planned.

So E.M. spoke to him yesterday morning after....or maybe it was before... I don't recall... we mailed the paperwork in for the 'bank'. E.M. was just giving him a heads up on probable ovulation date... which is the 16th - so we will start OPK's on the 12th unless I show more vivid signs of fertility before then, which as I mentioned who knows -- this cycle has been a mess! :(

Anyway we are planning to do OPK's in the evenings about 7p (After dinner) and then pick him up the morning following a positive and have breakfast and do an insem around 8a followed by a lovely day of r&r and lots of movies and talking and laughing.... then dinner and another insem and at 8p. -- depending on the night E.M. will take him home and head to work or come back and spend more time with me. :)

So that is this months plan.

Other than that I am making lists of things we need to do in the first 2 trimesters (ha! mainly just reorganie and pack our "possessions")
