What the plan is....

I know some of you are anxiously waiting to hear all about how the appointment went today with the sperm bank. We didn't learn too much more than what I had already read about and researched, which was no surprise to me. Basically the break down of what our plan is, is that we now need to choose our donor, then we do the insemination when the "time" is right.

I need to make an appointment with our doctor and start all the wonderful testing to get ready for insemination. I am not quite sure if the insemination will happen in June or July, but it will happen very soon.

Statistics:
If a couple is actively trying to conceive, they have a 20% chance of conception for each attempt. With artificial insemination it is brought down to about a 9% chance. Therefore the Dr will put me on very mild fertility drugs just to increase the chances of conception when doing the IUI procedure. These drugs will increase our chances to about 14% each attempt. We were told to expect between 6-9 attempts. That means, 6-9 months of trying each month. Our bank account is hoping it works a lot sooner of course!
These fertility drugs do increase the chances of twins, but not to greatly, being that I will be taking such a low dose.

I'll let you know when the next step is taken!
