okay my story is,my husband already has 3 kids from previous marriages. He got "fixed" shortly after his daughter(who is now 11) was born. We just got together 4 years ago,and got married last year. I am only 22(he is 37) and its a real big problem because I wnt kids more than anything,and he already has 3 and cant have anymore.So we have looked into it and with a reversal being very expensive,we settled on using a sperm bank and having the sperm shipped frozen to our house. My question is,does anyone know if the success rate would be better if i have it shipped at home and do it myself,or to a doctor where they know what their doing. the vials of sperm are not cheap so i want to make sure it takes like the first time. I should ovulate pretty regularly because my period is regular. I know i am fertile because ive been tested. I just dont want to have to buy alot of vials because they can run like 6 to 7 hundred per vial. Any tips on inseminating at home? or doctor? or just tips period!? I know this isnt the natural way but its our only chance at having kids,and i cant wait to be a mommy!
@BooBoo. well its not that he cant get his vasectomy reversed,its that its been 11 years and even though yes im only 22 ive done my research. Ive found that your chances of a reversal actually taking is if you do it within the first 10 years,and it goes way down after that.
Answer
i know one person that used donor sperm. the first ivf she fell pregnant but has been ttc again and has done it numerous times without success. i cant imagine that doing it yourself would be very successful though
i am suprised your husbands vasectomy couldnt be reversed given that it was only 11 years ago
i am also suprised that you are only 22 asking these questions
good luck though

One more question about pregnancy discharge?
diyola02
Can you have the milky white discharge even before you've found out if your pregnant for sure or not? I am TTC and I've all of a sudden noticed a total increase in this White discharge, so much so that I was begining to think something was wrong. No foul smells, no discomfort, only EXTREME white discharge any time of the day. Can I use this as an indication of pregnancy? Is this normal so early in the first trimester?
I'm passed my ovualtion period. I made sure to have intercourse during my ovulation. so now its just a waiting game until I can test. I'm just trying to see if this is a sign of a positive pregnancy.

There are many different types of vaginal discharge, one of which is cervical mucus. The type of mucus your body produces provides clues to your fertility. You can check your cervical mucus using either your fingers or toilet paper. On days when you're not fertile, the mucus from your cervix is either light or sticky (about the same texture as sticky rice). During the few days leading up to ovulation, when you're most fertile, you'll have more discharge - clear and slippery with the consistency of raw egg white. It should also be stretchy. You are most fertile on the last day you notice cervical mucus of this kind. It usually happens either the day before, or the day of, ovulation.
The change in volume and texture of your cervical mucus is due to the increase in estrogen levels that accompanies ovulation. After ovulation, progesterone abruptly suppresses the peak mucus and the mucus pattern continues with sticky mucus for a day or two, and then returns to dryness. Clomid changes cervical mucus patterns on an individual basis, so you might have to get used to a new pattern in terms of buildup of mucus and interpretations of peak mucus.
How to Check Your Cervical Mucus
There are 3 ways you can do this: using toilet paper or your fingers across the opening of your vagina, wearing a panty liner (which is sometimes hard to detect) or inserting your finger into your vagina. Chart its consistency. You may also want to monitor its texture throughout the day.

Certainly, hormone levels may fluctuate from cycle to cycle causing different observations to be made each month. However, there are few things about the cervix that I think can help understand this better. First, where is the mucus produced? It actually comes not just from the cervical crypts, but high inside the cervix. I think this is significant. Why? Well, think for a moment about sinusitis. What happens there? The sinuses cavities get infected because of a "lack of drainage." The cervix may work similarly. It is very possible that there could be a problem with the FLOW or drainage of mucus from the cervix. That is another possibility.
So what is the remedy? First, have you at least consulted with a doctor who is knowledgeable of the medical applications of Natural Family Planning? It can be very difficult, if not impossible, to get anywhere with a doctor who does not have this type of specialty training in trying to diagnose and remedy a problem like this. For example, perhaps the problem is simple and would respond to a prescription for something to enhance the flow of cervical mucus. On the other hand, it may be much more complex and require a hormone profile and/or other tests and procedures to correctly diagnose the real problem and then prescribe the appropriate treatment
