Enough cum?

My husband has retrograde ejaculation. He took some medicine to help produce more cum. We decided to try the at home insemination kits. He produced like a quarter of teaspoon of cum into the cup. I was able to draw it into the syringe and insert it. Has anyone tried the at home kits? Do you think that was enough cum?

Better numbers on second cycle?

Did anyone get more eggs and/or embryos on their 2nd or 3rd IVF cycle? I got very few embryos on my first cycle and about to start my second. I don’t know if the first time was the best I’m going to get.

Trying for girl

My husband and I want another girl so we timed sex 3 days before ovulation. Probably a myth but i read female sperm live longer than male. Has anyone had success with just one attempt at baby or did I just blow this cycle?
