Thank you all for your replies, I feel so embraced. I'm waiting for the holiday rush to help me get through waiting for my first chance at AI, I am so excited and ready to have a baby I just want to get started. I try not to think about how it'll probably take several tries....Care75, we are going to use a known donor. We're currently corresponding with several different men who live in the area, and will be choosing one to work with soon. There isn't a sperm bank within the immediate area, and that's a bit out of our budget anyway. We're just hoping to avoid complications like fertility treatments - the doctor says I seem perfectly healthy and there are no obvious issues, so maybe we'll get lucky and be able to conceive with nothing more special than the syringe! Thanks again to everyone for being so welcoming. Gotta go start Amy's bedtime stuff,
