Download or read book True Stories of Pregnancy by PI Or Partial Intercourse with Free Sperm Donors written by Joe Donor and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PI (pronounced "pee-eye") can stand for partial natural insemination, partial intercourse, or partial insertion. It is a technique used in free, private sperm donations that involves donor insemination via limited, or "partial", intercourse. This minimizes physical contact and intimacy that some recipients may find objectionable during conventional natural insemination (NI), but still allows recipients to benefit from the higher success rates that natural donation (that is to say, sexual intercourse) enjoys over artificial insemination (AI). Although there is some variation between how individual recipients and donors will do PI, recipients frequently ask for no kissing, no oral sex, and no exposure of or fondling of their breasts. In the strictest definition of PI, the donor tries to get himself as close to ejaculation as possible by masturbation, so that he ejaculates as soon as he inserts his penis into the recipient. This book also compiles a history of the use of the term PI in law, medicine, the life sciences, science fiction, and modern, online free donor groups. It also relates real-life stories of pregnancies resulting from PI as told in the words of the donors themselves in interviews with 10 different free sperm donors. We hope this book educates single mothers by choice, and couples who want to conceive but suffer from male-factor infertility, but who lack funds for overly expensive conventional sperm bank procedures, on additional options they may not have considered previously, and will help them to understand the expectations that arise on either side when recipients and donors decide to do PI.Warning! Although this book is intended to be educational, and is by no means "breeding erotica", some readers may find this book sexually explicit.

Praise for the ebook version from Amazon 5-star reviews: - This book was very informative as a woman this book taught me things about TTC. It also addresses things that a recipient may not think about because her mind is only focused on the BFP. It is a quick read but a must read. I would recommend this book to any woman, especially lesbian women ttc and any woman who is tired of paying the high price of the use of a cryobank. - For couples with male fertility problems, or women who don't have a male partner, in the past their only option to conceive a baby was a fertility clinic. But fertility clinics are expensive and often not covered by insurance. This book covers a viable, inexpensive alternative: private donors who are willing to share their sperm for free. This book discusses the various issues around using a private donor, and then gets very practical - it describes where to find a donor, what to ask them, how to know when to perform an insemination, and how to go about doing it. This guide covers the steps involved in using a donor who is located elsewhere and who ships chilled semen using an overnight delivery service. Everything you need to know in a simple, practical manner. Note that another alternative is to find a donor who is located nearby and who can give you a fresh sample, and eliminate the shipping step. If you can find a local donor, that is an even better solution as the sample will be fresher and you eliminate the costs and restrictions of shipping. Most of the information in this guide will still apply. - Good book! Very easy to read: )

Download or read book Human Artificial Insemination and Semen Preservation written by Georges David and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though artificial insemination is a simple technique that has been practiced for over a century, it has long been carried out under poor conditions due to an inadequate understanding of repro ductive physiology and antagonistic socio-ethical attitudes. Accor dingly, until fairly recently it was a medical act with a limited scientific basis which was practised more or less clandestinely. The development of semen preservation has totally changed the conditions of artificial insemination, especially in regard to flexibility and safeguards in its application. Although the use of fresh semen continues, it is now clear that the future of arti ficial insemination is closely linked to semen preservation. During the past two decades, semen banks have been developed in many countries. This has most often been the result of the initiative of individual physicians in either the private or public sectors. In France, a national system of semen banks (CECOS) was begun in 1973. Although there has been cooperation within this system in the areas of both research and management, a need to com municate and compare experiences with those from other countries was perceived. Thus, the first International Symposium on Artifi cial Insemination and Semen Preservation was planned and held in Paris, France in April 1979. Thirty-seven countries were represented byihdividuals from many concerned disciplines.

Download or read book Hallowed Bones written by Carolyn Haines and published by Dell. This book was released on 2005-01-25 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The southern Delta has never been more exhilarating, evocative, and wickedly funny than in the mysteries of Carolyn Haines. Now she takes readers on another rollicking ride across the Mississippi cotton fields and into the glamour of New Orleans…as P.I. Sarah Booth Delaney follows a winding trail of murder and deception into a world where ghosts make fashion statements—and where one person’s miracle is another person’s mayhem. The leaves of the calendar may be shedding faster than the sycamores on her family’s decaying Mississippi plantation, but thirty-something southern belle Sarah Booth Delaney isn’t ready to sing the blues. Not when she’s got a thriving detective agency and the outspoken, outrageously attired ghost of her great-great-grandmother’s nanny to keep her on her toes. But the matchmaking phantom may have the last word on motherhood when Sarah Booth takes on the controversial case of an accused baby killer. Although Doreen Mallory’s been arrested for feeding sleeping pills to her ten-week-old daughter, no one could accuse her of lacking faith. A healer who, tragically, couldn’t save her own baby girl, born with multiple birth defects, Doreen has her own crosses to bear. While the local law seems convinced of Doreen’s guilt, Sarah Booth isn’t so sure. But why is Doreen reluctant to talk about the men in her life? Like the televangelist who stands to lose a lot more than his flock. Or the married politician with family ties to the Mob. Either of them could be little Rebekah’s father; either of them could also be her killer. With Halloween approaching and her own personal life up for grabs, Sarah Booth could use a little faith healing herself. Torn between a married sheriff and an old flame who’s literally sweeping her off her feet, she’d better be prepared for the fallout of her most unpopular case yet. Justice may not stand a ghost of a chance as a decades-old secret explodes, unleashing a storm of fury on Sarah Booth and all those she loves. Witty, suspenseful, and featuring a cast of memorable characters, Hallowed Bones is a riveting tale of faith, murder, and maternal love. It is Carolyn Haines’s most accomplished novel yet.

Download or read book Innate written by Kevin J. Mitchell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What makes you the way you are--and what makes each of us different from everyone else? In Innate, leading neuroscientist and popular science blogger Kevin Mitchell traces human diversity and individual differences to their deepest level: in the wiring of our brains. Deftly guiding us through important new research, including his own groundbreaking work, he explains how variations in the way our brains develop before birth strongly influence our psychology and behavior throughout our lives, shaping our personality, intelligence, sexuality, and even the way we perceive the world. We all share a genetic program for making a human brain, and the program for making a brain like yours is specifically encoded in your DNA. But, as Mitchell explains, the way that program plays out is affected by random processes of development that manifest uniquely in each person, even identical twins. The key insight of Innate is that the combination of these developmental and genetic variations creates innate differences in how our brains are wired--differences that impact all aspects of our psychology--and this insight promises to transform the way we see the interplay of nature and nurture. Innate also explores the genetic and neural underpinnings of disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy, and how our understanding of these conditions is being revolutionized. In addition, the book examines the social and ethical implications of these ideas and of new technologies that may soon offer the means to predict or manipulate human traits. Compelling and original, Innate will change the way you think about why and how we are who we are."--Provided by the publisher.
