Trying to Get Pregnant

Ready Or Not ?

My Girlfriend And I (Yes We're Lesbians) Have Been Together For Four Amazing Years, And I Honestly Think It's Time For Us To Start Planning For Us To Start A Family . I'm Having Serious Baby Fever And I Really Think We're Ready, But The Problem Is We're Not Sure Where To Even Begin Planning. Any Advice?

  • Do we really not have a Same Sex conception board on The Bump?  That's an oversight for sure.  Or is it covered in the LGBT parenting board?

    I'm paging @mallory4284 because she might be a good resource for you. 

    In any case, good luck!

  • @BillyHorrible‌ from what I've seen the only same sex board is the LGBT parenting board. It seems like most of those women are TTC though (it's a good mix of TTC and already parents)
  • And to add:

    After my long rambling post, your best bet is to discuss it with your ob/gyn.... Or if you don't want to drag her/him into it.... Research local fertility doctors and have a consult with one of them.

    If you'd rather not dive straight into that because of money issues (fertility doctors are expensive and not generally covered by insurance) then I would suggest discussing possible sperm donors and do a home insemination. Research possible sperm banks and then possible donors (if you're only interested in home insemination right now, make sure the sperm bank will deliver to a residential address and make sure they're credible)

    That's probably rambling and confusing but feel free to ask any other questions and I'll try my best
