Two’s a company. Three’s a crowd. Four is just taking it too damn far!

Have any of you TTC lesbians out there in Lesbo-land ever considered a” 2fer “TTC? 

I know for us,  in the beginning of this process we would have NEVER even considered both trying to conceive. But as our donor’s expatriate days in the Far East come rapidly to a close, the Mrs. and I are seriously considering both trying to conceive in order to double our chances of a little Rose.

Today when unpacking our office, I asked the Mrs. if she had taken her prenatal pills. Toya looked to me and said ”maybe you should start taking them and  tracking your ovulation too!” I made  a “yikes” face. It’s not that I dont want to be pregnant some day. I’m just not sure if I wanted that day to come sooner than later. But we’re not getting any younger.

Let’s say we  do synchronize our ovulation cycles and try together to double our chances. It could be like the TTC Hunger games “ May the odds be ever in or favor”

Double the uterus, double the fun? Right? Except this isn’t a cool DoubleMint Gum commercial and we’re not in matching polka dot outfits on a tandem cycle. This is gayby-making animage3d we might end up for more than we bargained for.

The universe has a sick sense of humor and it would be just our luck that we BOTH get pregnant!

Ugh, two pregnancies! Two hormonal lesbians in one household? That might be a bit much? (the understatement of the year)

But the REAL question is…. is it worth a try? Thoughts?

  1. I would say if your cycles are close enough together, it might be a little crazy trying to get preggers at the same time, but if they are at least 2 weeks apart, go for it!!! Life during TTC is in two week cycles, ovulate, inseminate, wait 2 weeks, test, wait 2 weeks, ovulate, and on and on. If they are two weeks apart, you may no whether you have a BFP or BFN and can decide from there whether or not you will insem. the other. But the trust is, only you two know what you can and can’t handle. If my wife and I were pregnant at the same time, the local news would be at our house because someone would have killed someone else, and that’s for sure! LOL! Either way, good luck y’all!

  2. I’m lurking and have been following your conception journey and I actually thought, well, if it’s not working with LaToya, maybe you should try your luck with Tiffany? And seriously, though I know you are all gay, have you guys thought about conception the ‘old-fashioned’ way? By any means necessary, right?

    • Dee thanks for following and the support. Contrary to popular belief there’s no scientific evidence that supports the “old fashioned way” as being more effective. Only bout 20% of sexual acts result in pregnancy.
      Additionally since we, as well as our donor are all GAY, there’s no old fashioned anything going on over here:) thanks for the love and we hope you continue with us on this journey .

  3. My only thought would be what if you got pregnant but Toya didnt? I know I would be personally gutted if my partner was able to get pregnant in the first/second try but I didnt- that I was a failure.
    Otherwise, would you consider getting your donor into a clinic to do some sperm banking? Not sure on the rules over there or if you don’t want to get a clinic involved (they may insist on doing IUI etc) but worth a thought.

    • Hey RC,
      Toya and I are very open about our feelings . We’ve talked about this outcome at length. It would only be natural for her to have feelings of inadequacy or even resentment. To say otherwise would a lie. We are two baby -fever crazy women with a ton of emotions . This TTC process has taken us on an unexpected roller coaster ride of emotions for the past year.
      We looked into sperm banking and IUIs even IVF here in Shanghai. However due to the fact that we re a same sex couple , it isn’t an option. Even straight couples need to register and be married hereto receive physician assisted conception. However our OB/GYN and fertility specialist here are very supportive.
      So any IUIs will happen when we are stateside this summer.
      But at the end of the day we know we’re in this together, the good , the bad and the ugly.

      Thanks for the support.
      Xo,
