How I got my BFP....

[Kris217]

Now I know some of you might not think this is a good idea but it worked for me and I wanted to share in case anyone else wanted to give it a try.
If you may not know I am in a same sex relationship so we don't have a big supply of sperm every month, only 2 samples.

This is exactly what we did and you guys can decide if it's for you or not.

First of all we bought the supplies, specimen cup, 10 ml syringe (no needle) vaginal speculum, catheter tip, PreSeed, and a head torch thingy!

I put the PreSeed in about 10 mins before hand, when the sperm arrived i sucked it up in the syringe.
My partner used the vag spec to find my cervix which is quite easy, not painful either. No need to open the speculum fully unless you're having trouble finding it.
She could see a lot of preseed up there, so she put the tip of the catheter gently into my cervix (about 2 cms in) which was really open so easy to find.
Squirted a bit of sperm in there which ran out into the preseed, so she sucked it back up *including the preseed* and injected it back into my cervix.
Then squirted the rest all over the outside of my cervix.
You have to be careful not to go too deep, as you want to stay away from the uterus.
I was propped up on pillows at this stage, once it was all in i took the catheter tip off the syringe and put the syringe back in to stop any leaks.
It is great, nothing runs back out! I then had an orgasm and laid there for about 90 mins with my feet on the wall about the headboard of the bed.

I needed to pee so before i got up i took the syringe out and inserted an Instead Cup and left that in til the early hours of the morning when i had to pee.

And that was it, i was taking FertilAid, FertilCM, 1000 mg of fish oil 3 times a day, half an aspirin and 1000mg of folic acid at the time.

This is the syringe we used too. It's soft plastic so don't panic lol

I think you did great! Im shy so no way I can let DH do the speculum and syringe thing lol but so good i read this because I forget all about the IC!
I need some for sure I just wish they would sell it in a smaller package or 1 by 1 because it's so much money.

Congrats on your pregnancy Kris! Hope it's a in there!

My DH would never agree do try this procedure, he refused to do it in IC ( I feel we have higher chances to get pg that way ) let alone searching for my cervix with syringe lol!

That's awesome Kris!!! Congrats again!

Yes i did, i usually get some around ovulation day but this cycle i had a massive blob the day before. No joke it was the size of an egg lol maybe that was from the FertilCM.

Oh i understand, i'm shy too but i'd rather my partner do it than a Dr i don't know lol. I got a 6 pack of IC's from the Ebay in the UK and the price wasn't too bad so look around for the best deal.

wow so this is how its done, i was always curious how they did it in ivf or iui or whatever. at leats there was SOME romance to your procedure and in a more intimate setting than being on a cold table in front of strangers. good luck!!! and congrats again!
