Default A BFP for us!

Well, almost exacttly 2 years since we started TTC, after 18 months of the dyi home style inseminations then 3 ICSI cycles with the same known donor we are pregnant! EDD is 21/12/09, so a christmas bub. We are cautiously optimistic as we have had low HCG levels but they are rising at the appropriate rate, so fingers crossed!

To all you lovely lesbians who are still trying, I know it can be a hard and frustrating journey, hang in there 'cause even having got this far feels like the last two years has been worth it!

to you all

Moderating is in purple. Otherwise, it's just my own personal opinion. And I don't give advice online.

Unsure about schooling for your child?

I know you don't know me and I was just lurking on the whole baby belly site until now. I was just wanting to find out if anyone is TTC like I am re home insemination. It seems to be taboo amongst hetro couples.

But I found myself stumbling across this. I wanted to offer my congrats to you.

bye for now
