Turkey Baster Method

So now the donor is all lined up and we must go in more detail to the procedure we will use to get pregnant.

We decided that the best way to do this would be at home with the method they call the "turkey baster method." It isn't really a turkey baster but that isn't the point. We wanted this to be the most "organic" and "natural" way we could possibly do it. After much research online we found that sperm only lasts outside the body between 30 and 60 minutes. So the only way to do this and not kill off any sperm was to have the donor come to our place and squirt in a cup.

Ok and I thought asking the will you donate sperm was going to be awkward. How do you tell someone you will require them to come to your home 4 times in a period of a week and do the do? That was the next e-mail that went out, it was an interesting one and went over better than
we anticipated. After e-mails back and forth and the explanation of why it had to be done this way the donor was all for it. The donor and his spouse were amazing with everything.

So after he deposited his sperm in a sterile cup he left and our job began. For us we made sure that my lower portion was elevated during the insemination. My partner filled the syringe (we tried both sucking up the sperm and holding the tip closed and pouring the sperm into the syringe). Making sure to remove any air bubbles (they cause the sperm to come out of the vagina). After that she inserted it inside and slowly plunged it I laid there for 30 minutes. Oh and of course the most important part and fun we made sure I had an orgasm.

After that it is a waiting game to see if it took.
