Download or read book Get Pregnant for Free on the Internet with a Private Sperm Donor Without Having Sex Or Paying $$$ to a Sperm Bank written by Joe Donor and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is for couples who need donor sperm due to vasectomy, azoospermia, Klinefelter's Syndrome, or other male-factor infertility, for lesbians, and for single-by-choice moms who want to get pregnant for free without using a sperm bank, especially women who want to know how to get pregnant without having sex. It is also for the men who want to become free sperm donors in order to help them. This book is different from almost every other book on the market about getting pregnant by donor insemination. Most books on donor insemination are written by women, especially lesbians or women in heterosexual couples suffering from male factor infertility. This creates a certain bias in the other books that are available out there. They focus more on the recipient's emotional needs, how to assuage her fears and anxieties, but do not focus on the technical aspects of how to best succeed in this endeavor. There is a valid role for this type of book. However, my book looks at the technical aspects of donor insemination, how to get the best results, and succeed in more pregnancies and sooner. For example, the recipient's fears and anxieties can become a huge obstacle that must be overcome in order to succeed, so the focus in my book is how to overcome the fears and anxieties in order to succeed in getting her pregnant rather than how to help her feel better about them. With more than two dozen successes, I bring a proven understanding of which technical methods achieve results and which do not that few other authors can match. Not only is their perspective different, female author will only have participated in one or at most two pregnancies, they may speak from their experience as the partner and provider of emotional support and may not even have given birth to a single child or even been present for the conception. This book is unlikely to provide much in the way of emotional support, but it is going to provide technical expertise in achieving pregnancy I doubt you will find elsewhere. Read our reviews: "A masterfully written book on sperm donating and receiving! In easy to understand language, the author has written a concise guide for both recipients and donors alike interested in either donating or receiving private sperm donations. The author cuts through a lot of technical language, in such a way that the average person can understand private sperm donating to the point where they can easily receive samples and do it in their own private area, safely, and to their own optimal benefit to become pregnant. A fascinating book, with detailed insemination techniques, how to select donors, what type of questions to ask, how to protect anonymity and the such. With ever-growing interest in private sperm donating, this book written by an experienced sperm donor, offers many valuable tips to help facilitate a safe and optimal chance at getting pregnant. A must have book for those interested in private sperm donating and receiving!" "For couples with male fertility problems, or women who don't have a male partner, in the past their only choice was a fertility clinic. But fertility clinics are expensive and often not covered by insurance. This book covers an alternative: a world where there are private donors who are willing to share their sperm for free. This book discusses the various issues around using a private donor, and then gets very practical - it describes where to find a donor, what to ask them, how to know when to perform an insemination, and how to go about doing it. Everything you need to know in a simple, practical manner." "I appreciate the ease of reading and understanding this guide. I had a few questions about timing insemination at first but once I read this guide ALL my questions and uncertainties were answered. I believe this will help many women who have any questions regarding trying to conceive with a online donor. The pictures were helpful as well, they give more understanding on everything."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses shipping chilled semen as an alternative to sperm banks. It explains in detail with many photographs, drawings, and other images how to determine a recipient's fertile time, how to prepare and ship chilled semen samples, how to inseminate, and how to test for pregnancy. Explains in detail how recipients can protect their privacy. It explains in detail with many photographs, drawings, and other images how to time insemination by predicating ovulation with the OPK (ovulation prediction kit, with detailed explanation of various types of test and how to read them), by charting basal temperatures, by evaluating changes in cervical mucus, by evaluating changes in the position of the cervix, and by being aware of mittelschmerz (ovulation pains). It explains what to do when the unexpected, such as two ovulations in one cycle, happens. The book then summarizes key dates in the woman's reproductive cycle. It explains in detail with many photographs, drawings, and other images the contents of the shipping kit and how the private donor can collect semen, prepare it for shipping, and ship it. Discusses in detail how to ship semen overnight with express mail carriers such as UPS or FedEx, including many problems that arise and how to deal with them, such as what to do when you need to deliver on Sunday or holidays when the carriers do not deliver. It explains in detail with many photographs, drawings, and other images what semen should appear like when the recipient receives the samples and how to evaluate the semen for viability with a desk-top microscope and with a hand-held microscope and how to inseminate with a syringe, speculum, catheter, or Instead Softcup. It explains when to start taking the home pregnancy test (HPT), with many pictures of test results. Praise for the ebook version from Amazon 5-star reviews: - This book was very informative as a woman this book taught me things about TTC. It also addresses things that a recipient may not think about because her mind is only focused on the BFP. It is a quick read but a must read. I would recommend this book to any woman, especially lesbian women ttc and any woman who is tired of paying the high price of the use of a cryobank. - For couples with male fertility problems, or women who don't have a male partner, in the past their only option to conceive a baby was a fertility clinic. But fertility clinics are expensive and often not covered by insurance. This book covers a viable, inexpensive alternative: private donors who are willing to share their sperm for free. This book discusses the various issues around using a private donor, and then gets very practical - it describes where to find a donor, what to ask them, how to know when to perform an insemination, and how to go about doing it. This guide covers the steps involved in using a donor who is located elsewhere and who ships chilled semen using an overnight delivery service. Everything you need to know in a simple, practical manner. Note that another alternative is to find a donor who is located nearby and who can give you a fresh sample, and eliminate the shipping step. If you can find a local donor, that is an even better solution as the sample will be fresher and you eliminate the costs and restrictions of shipping. Most of the information in this guide will still apply. - Good book! Very easy to read: )

This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PI (pronounced "pee-eye") can stand for partial natural insemination, partial intercourse, or partial insertion. It is a technique used in free, private sperm donations that involves donor insemination via limited, or "partial", intercourse. This minimizes physical contact and intimacy that some recipients may find objectionable during conventional natural insemination (NI), but still allows recipients to benefit from the higher success rates that natural donation (that is to say, sexual intercourse) enjoys over artificial insemination (AI). Although there is some variation between how individual recipients and donors will do PI, recipients frequently ask for no kissing, no oral sex, and no exposure of or fondling of their breasts. In the strictest definition of PI, the donor tries to get himself as close to ejaculation as possible by masturbation, so that he ejaculates as soon as he inserts his penis into the recipient. This book also compiles a history of the use of the term PI in law, medicine, the life sciences, science fiction, and modern, online free donor groups. It also relates real-life stories of pregnancies resulting from PI as told in the words of the donors themselves in interviews with 10 different free sperm donors. We hope this book educates single mothers by choice, and couples who want to conceive but suffer from male-factor infertility, but who lack funds for overly expensive conventional sperm bank procedures, on additional options they may not have considered previously, and will help them to understand the expectations that arise on either side when recipients and donors decide to do PI.Warning! Although this book is intended to be educational, and is by no means "breeding erotica", some readers may find this book sexually explicit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of fertility, feminism, and family Jenn Berney was one of those people who knew she was destined for motherhood—it wasn't a question of if, but when. So when she and her wife Kelly decided to start building their family, they took the next logical step: they went to a fertility clinic. But they soon found themselves entrenched in a medical establishment that didn't know what to do with people like them. With no man factoring into their relationship, doctors were at best embarrassed and at worst disparaging of the couple. Soon Jenn found herself stepping outside of the system determined to disregard her. Looking into the history of fertility and the LGBTQ+ community, she saw echoes of her own struggle. For decades queer people have defied the patriarchy and redefined the nuclear family—and Jenn was walking in their footsteps. Through the ups-and-downs of her own journey, Jenn reflects on a turbulent past that has led her to this point and a bright future worth fighting for. With clarity, determination, and hope, The Other Mothers gives us a wonderful glimpse into the many ways we can become family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ready availability of donated sperm and eggs has made possible an entirely new form of family. Children of the same donor and their families, with the help of the internet, can now locate each other and make contact. Sometimes this network of families form meaningful connections that blossom into longstanding groups, and close friendships. This book is about unprecedented families that have grown up at the intersection of new reproductive technologies, social media and the human desire for belonging. Random Families asks: Do shared genes make you a family? What do couples do when they discover that their children shares half their DNA with a dozen or more other offspring from the same sperm donor? What do kids find in common with their donor siblings? What becomes of these chance networks once parents and donor siblings find one another? Based on over 350 interviews with children (ages 10-28) and their parents from all over the U.S., Random Families chronicles the chain of choices that couples and single mothers make from what donor to use to how to participate (or not) in donor sibling networks. Children reveal their understanding of a donor, the donor's spot on the family tree and the meaning of their donor siblings. Through rich first-person accounts of network membership, the book illustrates how these extraordinary relationships -- woven from bits of online information and shared genetic ties -- are transformed into new possibilities for kinship. Random Families offers down-to-earth stories from real families to highlight just how truly distinctive these contemporary new forms of family are." -- Publisher's description

Book excerpt: Welcomed as liberation and dismissed as exploitation, egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) has rapidly become one of the most widely-discussed and influential new reproductive technologies of this century. In Freezing Fertility, Lucy van de Wiel takes us inside the world of fertility preservation—with its egg freezing parties, contested age limits, proactive anticipations and equity investments—and shows how the popularization of egg freezing has profound consequences for the way in which female fertility and reproductive aging are understood, commercialized and politicized. Beyond an individual reproductive choice for people who may want to have children later in life, Freezing Fertility explores how the rise of egg freezing also reveals broader cultural, political and economic negotiations about reproductive politics, gender inequities, age normativities and the financialization of healthcare. Van de Wiel investigates these issues by analyzing a wide range of sources—varying from sparkly online platforms to heart-breaking court cases and intimate autobiographical accounts—that are emblematic of each stage of the egg freezing procedure. By following the egg’s journey, Freezing Fertility examines how contemporary egg freezing practices both reflect broader social, regulatory and economic power asymmetries and repoliticize fertility and aging in ways that affect the public at large. In doing so, the book explores how the possibility of egg freezing shifts our relation to the beginning and end of life.

Book excerpt: When Liv Thorne was in her twenties, and single, she would joke to friends that if Mr Right didn't come along she'd have to take matters into her own hands and have a child on her own. When she was still single in her thirties, it stopped being a joke and she started researching sperm banks and fertility clinics. Liv's Alone is an honest and hopeful memoir that captures the joy and the challenge that is parenting alone by choice. From dismantling the fairy tale story that we're fed from a young age and grieving the life you thought you were going to have, to buying sperm from Denmark and bringing a baby into the world. Guiding readers through the highs and lows with warmth, humour and understanding, Liv wants her book to be a little beacon of optimism for women who are in the same position she was in; late 30s, single and longing for a baby. This is Liv & Herb's story, but hopefully a version of it will be yours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Harry Fisch, a leading expert in male infertility, shares groundbreaking information about the bodily and behavioral changes that happen over the course of a man’s lifetime. Busting the myth that men don’t have biological clocks, Dr. Henry Fisch emphasizes that even young men can have testosterone levels as low as those of much older men, leading to infertility, sexual problems, and other serious health issues. Every couple should know all the risks and issues facing men, because these affect two of the most important things in their life: their ability to have children and their capacity to have good sex. The Male Biological Clock is a must read for every man and every couple who is struggling to have children or improve their sex life. Many of Dr. Harry Fisch's findings are startling—beginning with the fact that infertility is not mostly a women's problem—and he offers many helpful suggestions for how to deal with declining testosterone, changing sexual needs, and the fertility industry. The Male Biological Clock tells you what you need to know and how you can achieve optimal fertility and sexuality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle Eastern Muslim men have been widely vilified as terrorists, religious zealots, and brutal oppressors of women. The New Arab Man challenges these stereotypes with the stories of ordinary Middle Eastern men as they struggle to overcome infertility and childlessness through assisted reproduction. Drawing on two decades of ethnographic research across the Middle East with hundreds of men from a variety of social and religious backgrounds, Marcia Inhorn shows how the new Arab man is self-consciously rethinking the patriarchal masculinity of his forefathers and unseating received wisdoms. This is especially true in childless Middle Eastern marriages where, contrary to popular belief, infertility is more common among men than women. Inhorn captures the marital, moral, and material commitments of couples undergoing assisted reproduction, revealing how new technologies are transforming their lives and religious sensibilities. And she looks at the changing manhood of husbands who undertake transnational "egg quests"--set against the backdrop of war and economic uncertainty--out of devotion to the infertile wives they love. Trenchant and emotionally gripping, The New Arab Man traces the emergence of new masculinities in the Middle East in the era of biotechnology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking, interdisciplinary volume provides an overdue assessment of how infertility has been understood, treated and experienced in different times and places. It brings together scholars from disciplines including history, literature, psychology, philosophy, and the social sciences to create the first large-scale review of recent research on the history of infertility. Through exploring an unparalleled range of chronological periods and geographical regions, it develops historical perspectives on an apparently transhistorical experience. It shows how experiences of infertility, access to treatment, and medical perspectives on this ‘condition’ have been mediated by social, political, and cultural discourses. The handbook reflects on and interrogates different approaches to the history of infertility, including the potential of cross-disciplinary perspectives and the uses of different kinds of historical source material, and includes lists of research resources to aid teachers and researchers. It is an essential ‘go-to’ point for anyone interested in infertility and its history. Chapter 19 is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
