How does that work? Confused

Sperm donor?

No questions, I just want to say that's fantastic, I hope you succeed, as a parent I can say you are in for a fantastic time. Even if you were currently coupled up you could have separated during pregnancy or in the first few months of your baby's life.

Enjoy it. When parents say the time flies so fast they really really mean it.

Hi Op. Do you have any children already, or will this be your first?

MarthaArthur · 15/08/2018 21:38

Good luck op.

What made you make the decision to do it alone?

How old are you?

How have you decided to go about it? Like a clinic or known donor type thing?

That was quick! I’m using a sperm donor from the cryo bank you import it frozen and home inseminate. I’m 36 and gay. I already have one daughter who was conceived using a sperm donor when I was in a relationship. We have limited family and I desperately want another baby but also want to give her more of a family.

I know people who used donor eggs from Spain I went for the one I did because they would ship to my home address. My daughters donor was chosen to match the looks of my ex partner. This one I matched to me and my daughter.

CurlyWurlyTwirly it depends on what the donor makes available. Here’s what you can find out.

Fingers crossed for you op. Please keep us updated if you can x

Kaib223 · 26/08/2018 00:35

Do you insert it yourself or do you have a doctor who does it for you? I'm so glad I came across this thread as I've been looking into this myself l. I'm desperate for a baby just not desperate for a man. So find this very useful and interesting

MarthaArthur · 26/08/2018 22:47

Same kaib. And good question.

MarthaArthur · 26/08/2018 22:47

Kaib223 · 27/08/2018 00:03

Thanks @GreatestShowWoman pls let us know how you get on! When do you find out if it has worked? Would you say overall it's expensive?

Danceintherain2018 · 16/09/2018 22:00
