Anyone used Artificial Insemination??
Ok so here's my issue: my husband struggles with performance anxiety when we are TTC. It has happened with both my boys, & when we attempted in April it happened again. I want to stress it's the ONLY time in our relationship it has happened. He is not impotent, has a high sex drive but the pressure of TTC gets too much for him. I think it is partially to do with the fact it took 5 years to conceive DS 1 & it all became quite "mechanical". When we conceived finally it was actually by accident - we'd been told we would never conceive naturally & were focussing on adoption so in no way expecting to conceive AT ALL. With DS 2 we were expecting a long time TTC & we fell PG the first month. He didn't have time to get nervous & we didn't think it would happen that way at all. In April we TTC after months of planning & it was a disaster. He just "couldn't" if you catch my drift. I ended up sending him off to the bathroom with his smart phone & a cup & we used a syringe to inseminate me (which just FYI was totally horrible). I didn't really know if I was doing it right & I didn't get pregnant, which obviously isn't usual for one attempt but it has left me wondering if I was doing something "wrong" or if I could do something different or better. So just wondering if anyone else has used insemination successfully, & if so what is the procedure exactly? We will be attempting next week & while I'm hoping it will all go well, for warned is forearmed.
