Here’s my question… we’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while and have had 3 miscarriages. The next 2 months during my ovulation time I will be on vacation while my husband has to stay-at-home and work. I’m feeling crazy and want to take his baby batter with me and try to and inseminate myself during ovulation while on vacation. Can I take his sperm with me on the plane? Can I keep it viable to travel? We just really don’t want to miss out on 2 cycles without trying and I can’t really miss these trips. Thanks- Crazy (and a little sad) Baby Lady

To be honest i would probably skip those months and enjoy your time. Try to de stress. Sometimes we conceive when we stop trying and just try to live life

Id say no. Sex before you leve should be sufficient if its not more than like 3 days.

That’d be super awkward if TSA discovered a vial of sperm in your bag

Turkey baster method isn’t going to work like that.
It has to be frozen properly. It wont work unfortunately
No way to keep it alive that long lol
I mean you could quit trying and if it happens, it happens 
People say when you are trying and stressing about it it is less likely to happen. Considering the history you should really take this time to relax and focus on your anxiety.

pretty sure you can’t travel with sperm. and unless you freeze it properly that method will not work
I can see you going through TSA now.
TSA: What’s in the bottle ma’am?
You: My husbands baby batter.
TSA: Yes of course it is. No liquids on the plane ma’am you’re going to have to drink it or dispose of it.
Hahaha:joy:

I’d recommend seeing a fertility specialist if you’re not already seeing one.
This will not work because it wouldn’t stay viable. Funny idea though. Lol
It doesn’t work like that lol unless you’re trained professional and know how to properly preserve his sperm to keep it viable then the sperm will pretty much all die when it hits open air.

Stop trying! That’s how it happened for me & I’ve got 3 babies. 
it’ll happen. Just stop stressing. Do keep watch of ovulation but go & enjoy yourself, de-stress & don’t think about it so much. It’ll happen.

Dont think sperm will with stand the travel. But been honest best you & hubby can do is relax it will happen when your bodys ready. Youve only been trying few mths. Worry when it been a few yrs. More stress you place on yourself & hubby less chance you will fall on

Feel like some of these ppl should go back to preschool or kindergarten… if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. Move on if you have no positive or helpful suggestions🤷🏻♀️ I say relax on vacay and try when you get back. Better on your mind & body to able to take to when you back home and recharged from vacay!

My heart just breaks for you, you clearly want a baby so bad and I’m sorry for your losses. However, I think sperm preservation and storage is best left for the professionals. I agree with previous commenters to just relax and stop “trying” and just stop trying not to get pregnant.

It looks like your vacation or trying for a baby.Why do you have to go on these trips? Why cannt you just stay at home and have fun.
Ya I don’t think it works like that in real life. This isn’t Jane the Virgin where you can just use a turkey baster. Sorry … just wait it out n relax.

Sometimes the harder you try, the less likely you are to get pregnant, especially with previous issues. Stress alone plays a huge factor. Also having too much sex can cause less active sperm(?) Idk if that’s the right way of saying it, lol. But his sperm needs the chance to build up. Maybe having a good break from sex will actually be a good thing. He shouldn’t ejaculate atleast 3 days before y’all have sex at your ovulation time. I’d say take a break, use your vacation time to try and relax and try not to stress over the situation too much and don’t try so hard to become pregnant. It’ll happen when it’s meant to. I know so many ppl that tried so hard for so long and it finally happened when they pretty much gave up. Also, like others have mentioned, if you haven’t already, making an appt with a fertility specialists to make sure you’re able to conceive. Also, have him get his sperm tested bc its very possible that it has nothing to do with you persay, maybe he isn’t producing enough live sperm. The most important thing you can do, is try to relax, not stress and PRAY. Not everything is meant to happen the way we want it to. Sometimes that’s hard to come to terms with, but it’s the hard truth. Praying you will get your rainbow baby tho

Won’t work. However, I recommend seeing a fertility specialist if you haven’t already. You may have low progesterone. I also had 3 miscarriages before I found out that was my issue and went on to have 2 successful pregnancies after getting progesterone prescribed to me.

These rude comments are awful. This woman’s going through a hard time and is vulnerable. She’s asking for an honest answer. A KIND answer. Not shitty, judgemental ones!
I say stop trying for a bit. It seems that the more you stress about being pregnant your body reacts.and honestly unless doctors are involved I dont see how traveling with sperm would work. Enjoy your vacay

Sperm only lives outside the body for about an hour and has to be kept at body temperature xxx
It should be fine if you freeze it until your ready for it. Ask your doctor they will know for sure.
Sending baby dust your way! As a woman who also struggled with infertility I totally get you willing to do absolutely everything you can! Bless your heart

As soon as I stopped trying I got pregnant, we did see fertility drs and tracked ovulation for months didn’t work till I quit trying so hard and boom was pregnant. Also had a friend with a similar story , once I had a confirmed pregnancy they started me on progesterone too
Also, can I just say I’m a little jealous that you are taking a 2 month vacation!

Have your doctor check your progesterone levels next time you are pregnant
Sperm can live up to 3 or four days inside you after intercourse.

Not unless you have it shipped with proper certificates and containers. Sperm doesn’t live long nor stay viable it’s not allowed on plane and unless you have proper insemination tools you ain’t getting it in your uterus. Sorry breed cattle for a living no way can it go on plane period.

Crazy is right. You’re stressing your body out way more than it needs to be.
Speak to your doctor about it. There’s no way it would be viable if you just take it in your luggage or carry on. Doctors obviously do have a way to transport it, though.
I’d say your body couldn’t probably do with the rest though.

Ok so I am gonna start with to all of you saying to stop trying or to stop stressing…it doesn’t work that way. I am glad for y’all it worked but as someone who has had multiple losses the best course of action is to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist who can help diagnose the actual problem.
Now to OP I have been there I completely understand how you feel it took me 7 years and 8 losses before IVF worked for me to be able to have my son and then after him I lost my 9th baby. It’s hard and it sucks but honey this method will not work because you only have 30 mins from the time the sperm leaves the body before they begin to die in the open air, they can be placed in a vile and must be held at room temperature for no longer then an hour. That is why when IUI is done in a office they prefer fresh samples from that day because they wash and spin the sperm to ensure the best chances. I would take your vacation off and relax come back and have a game plan for your next cycle so that you can start fresh. I would also seriously consider finding a doctor so that you can start testing on not only your self but your SO. Believe me it’s so worth it because you will learn so much about yourself.
