I started this blog two years ago. Well, not really. I started emailing myself, and a close friend, two years ago, when I was trying to get pregnant. But I never got to the blog part. I'm a lesbian. Who wants to have a baby. With her partner, I. (I'll protect her identity for now, even though no one else but me--and her--are reading this.) We've been trying to conceive using "alternative insemination" on and off for two years now. Well, really, on for a year and then off for a year, and then recently, started again. I never really understood the term "artificial insemination," because it's not artificial, really. It's just... insemination. I mean, isn't "natural insemination" just... heterosexual sex? Plus artificial insemination just sounds so medical. Well, let me tell you my story. It's pretty medical, the beginnings anyway.
