A lesbian couple revealed that they managed to fall pregnant without expensive in vitro fertilisation treatments, instead, they used a syringe intended for the insemination of horses.
Jade Richards, 36, and her partner Ann Gard, both from Queensland, collected sperm samples from their gay friend, Jarrad Evans every month for 14 months and deposited them using the horse syringe.
“We went into it blindly because we didn’t know anyone else who had done it.
“Turkey basters don’t work.
“Ann and I bought one at first but then Jarrad told us they don’t actually hold liquid so we used something you inseminate horses with it is a syringe with a long tube attached to it,” Ms Richards told Daily Mail.
Ms Richards said that once Mr Evans produces a sample, she and her partner would then immediately go to the bedroom for the next stage of the ‘do-it-yourself’ fertility treatment. A few months later, on New Year’s Eve, the couple successfully fell pregnant.
Ms Richards said conventional IVF treatment included long delays when couples brought their own sperm donors. She said she wanted to become a mother as soon as possible so she and Ms Gard looked for tips and ideas online on taking matters into their own hands.
The couple has now decided on repeating the process for another child, but this time, Ms Gard will bear the family’s new addition.
