how we got pregnant as a lesbian couple!!

- Getting pregnant as a lesbian couple is a little bit complicated! It typically involves a doctor, a donor, and a medical procedure.
We're currently pregnant with twins from recepricol IVF (rIVF) but lucky for you we tried it all! We did at-home insemination, IUI, IVF, and rIVF! So let's chat about everything from fertility treatments to sperm donors to who's carrying!

We're Allie and Sam! A married, femme lesbian couple based out of the East Coast of Canada. On this channel, we share our life, LGBTQ+ issues, our travel adventures, and soon, our journey to motherhood. Make sure you're subscribed because we're releasing new videos every Tuesday and Thursday!
I think it’s great you chose an open ID donor. Even if the child doesn’t want to meet their “dad” in the future, having that option is great.
Hearing these stories I am also SO happy I live in the Netherlands. Here you get 3 rounds of IVF paid under insurance and I believe 10 IUI’s
Anyways I am so happy it worked out for you and you’ll be expecting twins! 👶🏻👶🏻
wow I am so jealous that is covered under insurance in your country! in the U.S. my wife and I will have to pay all out of pocket. it is so cool to learn how this process works in other countries! :)

Wow, that's great. In Germany, insurance usualy pays 50% of the costs for 6 or 8 IUI and up to 3 IVF, but only if you are married and under 40 years old
why are these 2 stupid women involving innocent babies to enter into a vicious circle, if you want to be a lesbian just involve yourself and that shit. I think then there will be a movement of women marrying animals and having kids and the father is a dog or a cat so sad.
Congratulations again Allie & Sam. I cannot wait to continue to follow your RUclips pregnancy journey videos between this Thursday & Allie's due date. You two are honestly my favorite lesbian couple on RUclips (even though I am straight as I believe I have mentioned in earlier comments.)
After watching Living Rosa, I've since felt that reciprocal IVF is so fascinating because two females are biologically involved in making the baby. It's magical that females can do that because that can't happen with two males.
My wife and I get asked series of questions when we go out it usually starts with are you twins? No. Are you sisters? No. Are you guys related? NO! It is so crazy! We will even still get who's the man in the relationship. It's admirable that Allie can stay so calm. (:
I love being here for this! Thanks for being open and honest about this journey! :)
Congratulations! I'm so very happy for you both. Your babies are going to be so loved ❤️
LOVE YOU BOTH! CONGRATS!!!! GOING TO BE THE BEST MOMS EVER
Sam, where did you get your sweater? It's so cute!! I want one! 🥰😍
Mother and daughter? No way! 😆 You are both so great together. Thanks for sharing! 💜
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey! I’m going through egg retrieval and super scared of ohss. Do you have recovery tips or prevention tips? I know Sam went through it 😢
Sam, good idea doing the pros and cons of each procedure. And the Universe did speak Allie never wanted to carry and boom here she is with twins.👶👶😁
you guys are Awesome and Congrats to both of you,sending lots of loves from Albany Oregon USA
I love your journey love you have twin boys & they are thriving x
I don't know if you get this question a lot, but Sam, have you considered trying to induce lactation? Abbie and Julia tried to do that when they were preparing for their baby. I just wondered, especially with you having twins, if you had thought about it.

mother and daughter is my favourite. What can you even say to that haha. Love watching your journey. In NZ it is about a 3 year wait for sperm and when you get to the top of the list there is only about 2 to 4 options to choose from
I find it so cool that you are both biological moms of your babies. Of course that's not all that matters and doesn't define the love of a parent, but it's still special. I'm not quite sure about it, but I think I even heard something about how the carrying mom has a genetic influence on a baby through the exchanges and processes between mom and baby.
Wait, for real? Will carrying the baby make them biologically related to you?
@@annymus4502 no it doesn’t. The babies will only have Sam’s DNA (not that it matters though)
Maybe, I wasn't able to express it correctly since English is not my mother tongue. I didn't mean that it changes your DNA, but I think I heard something about an exchange of blood cells (and maybe some other factors too) that stay in the baby's and in the mother's body after the pregnancy (at least for a while). Like I said, I'm not sure and certainly not a scientist so if you really want to know, you will have to do some research.
@@Sunflowers9191 it’s called Epigenetics! No, there will be no actual DNA code changed as a result of the pregnancy. However there are factors changed in the way that the DNA is expressed. So yes, there is a biological link between the person carrying the baby and the baby themself, even if the two do not share DNA!
Question, did you guys consider implanting one of Sam's bio embryos and one of Allie's bio embryos into Allie to make twins that are related to both of you? Also, why didn't Allie do IUI (instead of IVF)?
Hi! What sperm bank did you choose? And did they implant 2 embryos, or did your twins happen “naturally”? Thanks from someone starting the rivf journey!
Thank you so much for sharing. You are both delightful and will make great parents. People can be so ridiculous..... Mother and daughter!? 🫣 Crazy talk. Best wishes from Toronto 🇨🇦😊💐🌹
Question if you're comfortable: I'm wondering if Sam still wants to carry one day in the future? Is it an experience you want to have?
Do you think you will be done with kids after the twins are born or will Allie want to carry again after with her eggs?
Congratulations on your twin pregnancy :) Did you implant two Embryos or are they identical twins? I can relate to the amount of stress the two years must have caused you. My husband and I are trying to concieve for three years already. Both of us are healthy and doctors in the fertility clinic found no reason why it wouldn't work. I even had diagnistic surgery and hormonal stimulation. It is highly frustrating
I had my girls 10 yrs apart. Don't give up. When I stopped "trying" I became pregnant with my youngest. I had a Miscarriage before my first. Had a surgery and successfully got pregnant with my first, 6 mos after surgery. I had 2 ovarian cysts and scar tissue attaching my ovary to my stomach wall and some wrapped around my tube. We thought I had endometriosis but upon exploration surgery. They were able to clear out the scar tissue and drain the cysts. Got pregnant with my oldest daughter.
I again miscarried a few times after and about Gave up (no real explanation why I wasnt able to carry another one to term). I was in an unhappy marriage and had divorced yrs before my youngest was conceived. My 2nd husband and I only had 1 child together and never got pregnant with another one. We tried for a boy. No pregnancies. Take a vacation and focus on enjoying the stress free environment and try not to dwell on the fertility issues... sometimes the body doesn't cooperate because of the stress and worry... Oh one thing my Dr told me to try when we were clear to get try for my first born. They had me take cough syrup. Robitussin a week before ovulation to thin out my mucus. Sometimes that is too thick and hinders the sperms passage. It worked. Got pregnant first try. Some women have that problem. Your Dr can actually test that as well. We were scheduled the next month, if it didn't work.. to try again and immediately come Into the Fert specialist office after for a scope done to see if my mucus was hindering the sperm. Thank goodness I didn't need that invasive procedure as I got pregnant the 1st month.
My second child was born was I was 34. 10 yrs after my youngest, my first Grandchild was born. Litterally all 3 are 10 yrs apart LOL just had a Grandson last Christmas Eve.
Good luck and I'll send up some prayers for you and sending some baby dust your way. Blessings to ya.
If someone asks who's the mom just tell them the truth, you're both the mom 🥰
Such a beautiful couple ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Omg you guys are so cute !!! I love you guys so much !!! Sending lots of love 💜💜
So am I following that Allie got pregnant her first time doing IVF?
My wife and I have the plan to use my wife's brother as our known donor and myself as the one who carries and conceives. We think it's a beautiful way to bring our two family lines together. So happy for both of you, congratulations on your twins!
Mother and daughter - that actually happened to us too, at the airport!! 😶 like, really? 🤦🏻♀️
love you guys good luck
AHH SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH
My favorite couple love y'all journey♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
We needed sperm so we got some off the internet 😳😂😂 allies face 😂😂 missed you guys and your videos!
How many embryos do you have left
Guess this is an obvious answer but are you gonna give the dogs and cat the babies first blankets so they recognize their scent when you bring them home?
Will the twins automatically legally be both of yours or will one or both of you need to adopt them to make it official?
they would be both of their baby
Both theirs
Is IUI better with fresh sperm?
My partner and I don’t even look alike (different hair color total different body shape) and we still get asked if we are sisters!! WTF?
It has to be that they think we are lesbians and just want to confirm…because I have never heard of anyone going up to a straight couple and asking them if they are siblings…
Beautiful couple who will have beautiful babies
Hey 👋 Aille And Sam I Got None
Ragazze io sono jess e sono trans ma non so se in Italia il mio paese dove vivo sia possibile l'adozione di bambini per le coppie dove c'è una persona trangender
Question: there’s a ss couple here on RUclips that had a close male friend- close as in close friendship as well as proximity. One of them stayed home and would get as close to climax as possible while they other went and retrieved the fresh sample and drove back home and inserted the sample and the recipient would try to climax right before or soon after.
This climaxing they felt was important to helping the sperm to swim well and survive.
They’ve had two children this way.
I wondered if you two considered this as a method, obviously it’s cheapest.
I don't think climaxing is important for the sperm, considering most people don't climax from piv (penis in vagina) sex.
As an example: when I got pregnant, I didn't climax. Still, I got pregnant in one try (I am in a straight relationship)
Yes they did home insemination, they said. They didn't have a friend give the sample, they explained that too
I think the Island is offering financial help for a couple of tries...I only skimmed the article. It might be worth a read and to see if NS may be similar. How did you choose a donor? Did you get photos, baby pictures, voice samples? I always just wonder if that is what everyone does or if you just look at health and similar features. Do you plan to do a gender reveal? Ladies get your sleep NOW. 😂 Wishing you all the best in this exciting journey. Be present for every moment!!
You all are going to be amazing mom's lot's of love ans well wishes.
Did they both do ivf like they both have fertilised eggs?
Allie is carrying twins. As she said in this video. All the Eggs are from Sam..
I commented this when i first found out and I'll say it again.... This is the most beautiful thing and best idea i have ever seen/heard of 😍 how many same sex couples can actually say i am pregnant and it is my partners biological baby? Not only that you both get to take part in making the babies. This is the closest you can come to having two biological mommies. (Please don't get me wrong, i am not saying someone is not a mom/dad if they're not biological) Congratulations mommies
Congratulation
For the record, Sam, you don't look nearly old enough to be Allie's mom! XD
Sweet 😍❤
The best lesbian couple and the best moms 💖😘😍🥰 i love you Sam my platonic love Kisses from México 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
nice👍🌼
Thanks for this video ! I am lesbian and I would love to have a baby in the future ❤
Why didn't you both get pregnant at the same time? I would think that both of you would enjoy motherhood together. It is a question I have for all lesbian couples and I am NOT trying to be offensive
Sam tried several times and had numerous miscarriages... as she said in this video. Now Allie tried and is successfully carrying twins.
@@TheUnderCoverMother2020 1.Why are you under cover?
2. Thank you for the information
@@Capitan20832 P.I. Stuff 😉
It was meant to be this way and i believe you two have brought a great idea to same sex couples
Bump updates? :D
B u m p d a t e s? :0

Science isn’t there yet, it never will be as God created one man and one woman to produce, not two women 😩
Medical breakthrough... a few months of tricoxagen usually works for ovulating women.
