CAN I USE A SYRINGE WITH FRESH SPERM IN IT TO GET MYSELF PREGNANT?

I HAVE WANTED KIDS FOR THE LONGEST TIME, BUT I AM A LESBIAN. I DO NOT WANT TO ADOPT.. I WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT ALL MYSELF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I CAN GET PREGNANT WITH A SYRINGE BUT THAT IT MAY BE HARMFUL.

Yes it is possible.  I worked in a birth to three program and met a family who did just this!  They had a beautiful baby girl!

I know it can be done.  My husband's cousin is also a lesbian and wanted a child so they picked out a willing donor  and inserted the sperm with a syringe like thing and she had a healthy baby at the end of it. She is a nurse though so I guess she would have known how to do it properly.  Good luck with it!!

If I were you, I would go through a clinic , get donor sperm and then get an IUI done...not sure how insurance covers it...but I wouldn't experiment with myself...if you already have someone, you can do it in the clinic - docs know what they are doing...and they can inprenen you, like mommyin09 said.

I'm sure it is possible.  Just please be extra careful.  I've heard it's not as safe because the semen won't be in a sterile environment going from your donor to the syringe.  Maybe if you have a willing donor, you can contact an RE & do it through iui?  I'm not sure if that's even an option, but it's worth looking into.  I can definitely understand your frustration & I wish you my best!!!  Good luck :)
