Hello everybody.
I've only recently joined but I've been reading lots of posts over the past few months as an anonymous outsider and you all seem like a helpful and honest bunch. I have questions which I'm not sure about and I just wanted to know if anybody else out there has had a similar experience.
Here goes...
I've always been big for as long as I can remember. I am 26 years old (27 in July) and I've never been with a man... never had sex... I'm still 100% a virgin.
But I really want a child.
Although I've embarked on a healthy eating plan/diet I'm still really quite overweight at the moment - I started 2 weeks ago at over 29st (my scales don't go any higher) and I'm currently 28st 5lb. I am aiming to lose around 9-10 stone. I know I will still be considered obese and too big but I really don't want to get saggy skin from the weight loss and feel even worse, so I'm happy to still be big but just not as big.
As I don't have a man handy I will be using donor sperm from an online sperm bank and home inseminating.
I know of many people of my current and goal weight who have successfully got pregnant and had babies so I'm not questioning that - I'm concerned that because I've never had sex that actually getting sperm to egg will be difficult. I've had a smear fine but recently was referred for an internal ultrasound and for some reason they couldn't "get it in" past a certain point because it was too painful.
Has anybody else been roughly my weight and been fine with pregnancy, or has anybody else been in my shoes with the donor sperm and being a virgin thing?
I don't know who else to ask other than people who may have or are currently going through this so I appreciate any advice or support.
Thanks
