Hi Ladies,
Sorry about being so "quiet". I'm out of town for work, but do have my laptop that I can use at night in the hotel room. I did 2 ICI's at home with DS from the local guy...Friday and Saturday nights. I am STILL seeing incredibly fertile CM...crazy! My temps nose dived yesterday, and are slightly up today, so maybe I'm around O time? (I didn't bring any OPK's w/ me). I wish I had sperm last night and today, but I don't, and although I went out for dinner w/a few new co-workers, there weren't any cute guys to persuade to do the romp with me back at the hotel (scary thought anyway, I know, but when you're fertile....).
Sara, just go to the pharmacy and ask for a few syringes. They'll probably want to give you the ones that are small, for administering medicine to a baby, and that's ok. Just use all the sperm, even if it means filling the syring 2 or 3 times. Remind me...is this your BF's sperm that you froze? Just fill the syringe and put it into your va jay jay (!), and empty it. They say you should orgasm to draw the sperm into your cervix / uterus, so if you can make that happen, even better. It's that easy. Yes, it's only intra-cervical, and not intra-uterus, but if you don't want to spend the $$, then it's the way to go. I did it that way a lot, and am not sure that it was the right thing, but at the time, I was broke and was spending $500-$700 / month for one sperm specimen, so another couple hundred $$'s seemed like a lot for the IUI at the dr's office. If you can't use the specimen right away, you'll need to find some dry ice to keep it cold for about 24 hours. You'll have to research places in your local area that have dry ice. I just got it and put it in a small cooler, then picked up the specimen and stuck it inside in a baggie or small container.
Anyway, good luck, and let me know if you have more Q's.
Ms GB
