Does anyone have any experience using TYB (test yolk buffer) to ship donor sperm?
Last month was our first TTC cycle and we used donor sperm with TYB from babydust deliveries to inseminate. Prior to this I have always had very regular cycles and periods. I thought for sure that I was pregnant (felt nauseas, sore boobs, bloated, dull cramps, more frequent peeing, etc), but I got negative hpt results until I got my period right on time at 16 dpo (I chart/use OPKS/use the CB fertility monitor, so I am pretty sure of when I ovulated). I was disappointed but not overly stressed as this was our first cycle, and started making arrangements for the next cycle.
My period only lasted for about 1.5 days though, but it was definitely not light. The blood was different than usual, it was reddish/pinkish and there was no brown. I have never had a period that short before, mine usually last from 4-6 days. I also had way less painful cramps than usual.
I feel hormonally "out of whack" and like I am about to get my period again. Can this be some sort of reaction to the TYB? Has this happened to anyone else? I have an appointment with my OBGYN later this week, but it's hard to wait that long.
