2.1 Fertility

By Jenna_F_PSY210

  • Deciding to get pregnant

    I decide to get pregnant using a sperm donor.

  • Pregnancy 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Trimesters

    The pregnancy in each of the trimesters are successful and in each of the follow up ultrasounds no teratogens are found in the baby.

  • Going to an OBGYN

    I go to an OBGYN and get an ultrasound of my ovaries to see if I have a uterus health enough for pregnancy.

  • Genetic Testing

    I go to a genetic counselor and get tested to see if I am a carrier for any genetic diseases that are dominant or recessive such as Cystic Fibrosis or Fragile X.
    I am not a carrier for any genetic diseases or anything that would potential cause any gene related malformations in the fetus.

  • OBGYN: Insemination

    I become successfully inseminated by a sperm donor from a sperm bank. The sperm donor also goes through parental diagnostic tests, and is found to also not be a carrier for any significant genetic diseases.

  • Pregnancy

    After 2 weeks I go back to the OBGYN to get a blood test to see if the insemination was successful. The findings show due to the levels of HcG in my blood that I am pregnant.

  • Birth

    The baby is born completely healthy
