if the thought of doctor's scare you, you can alway go at it at home for an ici first. that way you can get comfortable with the process, and your partner will feel involved.

i know a lot of women who have went at it alone for about three months, and if nothing happened, they moved on to the doctor then.

if you don't have any fertility issues and a regular cycle, you should be good to go.

best of luck!

Try to find a local Feminist Woman's Health Center in your area. Also check out the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association. They offer referrals http://www.glma.org

Also check out this site http://www.lmnetwork.org/ they are in the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti,Washtenaw County are of Michigan; I have no idea if this is close to you but maybe they can help you out as well.

I totally get where oyu are ocming form. i am totally out as well but yet i find myself sometimes intimidated i suppose owuld be an okay word to use by other people. especially in situations like that. being down south i am so affraid that a doctor would look at oyu like something is worng with oyu for wanting to start a family in a same sex relationship. so even though we know there isnt anything wrong it is completely normal for you to get a little nervous when it ocmes right down with saying it to a stranger whether it be a doctor or not.

Finding a Doctor

Chart your period, pee on ovulation sticks, scour profiles until your eyes burn, take folic acid, buy extra short-term disability insurance - all with a knot in my stomach of excitement and worry....and we are just getting started. I am now onto the most dreaded step for me - finding a doctor to perform the IUI. This prospect is scaring me to death. I am completely "out", but every time I try to pick up the phone to call local doctors, my heart beats into my throat and I hang up before someone can answer. I'm acting like a child!
