Hi everyone, I have been lurking around this forum for quite some time...a bit about myself..
I am 23 and my partner is 22, we have been ttc for 2 months now (about to undergo second month of insem! We have questions for anyone out there who have attempted at home inseminations before.
We are using fresh sperm that we are picking up from our donors house and then driving out to another location before inseminating (roughly 20mins after ejaculation). In this time we are keeping the little swimmers at body temp by keeping the container snuggled between my legs. We are concerned that this 20min timeframe may be too long and the lil swimmers may be dying off before they even get the chance to try to find the egg. So we are basically wanting to know if anyone out there has waited this long with fresh sperm before self-inseminating with success??
Also, any other pointers you could give us would be absolutely awesome and more than welcome!! We are temping, using the maybe baby ferning scope, using OPK's, checking CM and CP to detect ovulation and thats working a charm!!
Thanks for any help!!
