hey scruffles,
My partner and I tried home insemination for 12 months with no success. Jay was intending to be the tummy mum, and our donor made a point of trying to include me by giving me the donation jar - which to be honest grossed me out beyond all belief. I could not get over the whole sperm thing. All we did was lay there together and remember that we were doing such a fantastic thing together, and the sperm 'issue' kind of faded away - until the next time
lol
Unfortunately we didn't have success, and we have moved onto IVF, but due to laws in South Oz, I am going to be the tummy mum.
Just remember that if at anytime you change your opinion on your donor, get out of the arrangement and quickly. We have had donor who we thought was great but as time went on changed and became kind of creepy.
We hope that you have had a good practice run today and that things will go greatly when you have your real run!
