Hello, I am choosing the Single Mom By Choice route and have undergone all testing - came back great. I have had one ICI (done at home with a known donor) in January of 2024 and a medicated IUI cycle at a clinic in December of 2024. Sadly both attempts ended in miscarriage. I know now that it is not an issue of actually getting pregnant, but staying pregnant, which there are medications to help with.

The issue I run into is donor sperm being so incredibly expensive through sperm banks, which is where I purchased the vial I used this month. I have decided to look elsewhere and see if there are any other options out there.

Ps: the known donor I used in January had waited until he knew I was pregnant before getting a vasectomy...so he is no longer an option.

I really want to be a mommy to at least one earth baby. I will never regret the short periods of time I had with my two angel babies, even through the heartache of losing them.
