Has anyone used a donor to conceive? My fiancee and I are wanting to start trying after our wedding in May, but I'm trans and thus don't make sperm. Trying to wade through options we're comfortable with, figure out legal things, logistics, and cost is all a little nightmareish.

I'm generally angry at the unfairness of reproduction, but there's nothing that can be done about that. In general, I'm curious how you/others chose a bank or donor, how to manage the costs, etc. My fiancee has been reading that IUI is typically $2000/dose by the time you factor in all the costs. MIL keeps suggesting we just go to a bar with a Dixie cup. We don't like this plan.

We're ready to start trying, there's just...nothing to try with. Word to the wise: there are free sperm donor groups on Facebook. They are as terrifying as you imagine.

Yeah. We've exhausted our small list of sperm-producing friends we felt comfortable asking already. Turkey baster is a good go-to.

Interesting fertility happenings: My spouse has a pretty regular cycle, but after a bit of a dry spell we had a pretty wild week. They ended up ovulating a week ahead of schedule. We're hoping to start trying in earnest next month, but we're not sure when to expect the next ovulation. I guess we'll keep testing and see?
