Hello 
My wife and I are looking into extending our family and after considering all our options, have decided that me using a donor is the way we would like to go.
Initially our biggest question was whether or not we wanted to try in our mid 30's as I already have a teen and we weren't sure if we wanted such a big age gap between DCs.
So now we've got our heads around that, we started looking at donors online, but now the prospect is becoming more and more real, I'm actually struggling with the practicalities of it.
I hate the idea of being inseminated by a strangers semen, but obviously I want to become pregnant, so I just need to get over it, right?!
I also find it so odd that half of our DCs genes will belong to a stranger.
I actually don't know if this is a completely normal feeling and that people just get past it and once the baby is born and is part of your family, you don't really think about it and it's simply your child.
I'm worried that these feelings are alarm bells and that maybe it's not for me afterall.
Would massively appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks very much.
