My spouse Helen and I recently chatted with Lisa Schuman of the Donor Conception Conversations podcast about creating our family via reciprocal IVF 20 years ago, talking with our son about his donor, interacting with his schools, legally securing my parentage, and much more. Have a listen!

the fact that cishet couples can go and get pregnant so easy and free but it would cost thousands for lesbians makes me 🔫

Not the 30 year old who is flabbergasted to hear about the concept of RIVF 😂

ALSO. we're pretty seriously planning babies. if things go well and my butch gets a job soon after graduating (which is pretty likely since they're studying to become a nurse) and i get my shit together and graduate too, hopefully get some work after that etc, we could start saving money for a wedding and then save money for fertility treatments 👀

Something to unpack : I’m into knife play / also a girl hovering over top of you with a knife in her mouth hits different ...

That’s how many shots I had to take to finally get pregnant and stay pregnant. Two failed transfers, one round of medicine for an endometrial biopsy to check how much Progesterone in oil, our third and last successful transfer and another whopping 12 weeks of shots until my body could take over.

I used to haaaate shots. Now I’m super thankful.

I was going to try to count them all to see just how many I took but I pricked myself and decided it was best to jump dump them in drawers and take a picture.

I also realized how much wrong info is in LTC after going through IVF myself. Whoops. I thought I did good research. A lot more goes into it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

In all fairness Cory took 2 weeks of stims shots to get little egg babies retrieved surgically (ow) but the rest of those needles are all me... and I make sure to let her know how much more work I’m doing. 🤣 she knows I’m kidding.

And for anyone who follows me that is worried about doing RIVF and worrying the baby won’t feel like it’s yours due to genetics... well, this little one couldn’t feel more like it’s mine.

Now I’m an official OB patient and not an RIVF so I figured I’d do a end-of-IVF post.

Can anyone recommend some unique baby names— boy and girl?

Current possible best picks are Fern Eloise Cameron for a girl and Oliver _______ Cameron for a boy but we (Cory) wants more options.

Corys favorite boy name is Sebastian which is a no go obviously. 🤣

THREE YEARS AGO TODAY I WAS AT THE STADIUM WAITING TO GO SEE MY FURST TAYLOR SHOW RIVF NOW AND TODAY SHE LIKED MY POST

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine has updated its definition of "infertility," to make it more inclusive of LGBTQ and single people who seek fertility healthcare. Two experts spoke with me about what this means.

@thetwomom_browns It’s been a while since we’ve introduced ourselves here on Instagram… if you’re new to following us, thank you so much for spending time with our little family 😃🌈 We both work full-time. Amanda is a financial analyst and Lauren is a therapist. We so much enjoy sharing what we can of our lives - between pregnancy exhaustion and busyness! I’m Lauren 🙋🏻‍♀️ on the right in the picture above, and I do most of the posting/engaging here on Instagram! Amanda 🧑🏾‍🦱 is here too, she just tells me her ideas/opinions and I share them, haha Our son Judah 👶🏽 is in the middle and our newest addition 🤰🏻 should be arriving in about 10 weeks! We chose to have kids through a process called reciprocal IVF where I carried embryos from Amanda’s eggs. We matched a sperm donor to my features and got really lucky to have a sweet little blend in our son 💚 Amanda and I have been together for almost 8 years and married for a little over 4. We love hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and spending time outdoors with our wild child 🪵🌲🍂 Random/fun facts about us: 1. Amanda doesn’t like big bugs and will promptly scream when she sees one 😂 You can imagine that means I’m the bug killer/catcher in the family 2. As a double Aquarian couple, we are intensely passionate. Passionate in love, lust… and also conflict. When we fight, the earth stops spinning. We are what John Gottman describes as a happily married and highly compatible “volatile couple” 😂 We’d love to hear from you! Who are you and where are you from?! #introduction #himynameis #rivf #reciprocalIVF #ivffamily #samesexparents #lgbtqfamily #lesbianmoms #twomomsarebetterthanone #loveislove #lovewins #welcome #spreadlove https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpiYmmuBzK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
