Sperm doner

[Messupmum]

I'm a single mum to one and I'm really broody for another. Any information, experience or advice on sperm donation. I have no idea where to start. TIA

Have a look on fertility friends website, lots of useful info on there.

Private fertility clinics often have open days where you can go along and find out more too.

Good luck.

Thanks, I've realised I've made spelling mistakes, sorry jugs tired and emotional.

Don't worry about that :)

This site should be useful for you too.

I think the only way it can be done is through GP and a clinic? If that's so, then I think I won't be able to as I have mental health issues, depression and anxiety. I want a baby, I want dd to have a sibling and I don't want to always have this empty feeling that something's missing.

If the ideal bloke came along tomorrow, that would be great! But I don't see that happening

Those are not the only routes but others aren't advisable for obvious reasons...

Are you being treated for your anxiety and depression?

You sure a baby is going to help?

I'm a good mum to my dd, I always wanted two or three children. But the previous comment is what worries me, the stigma attached to mental health.

I'm being treated but it's a long term diagnosis. I'm trying to be as 'normal' as possible.

How old are you OP? Do you have time on your side (fertility-wise) so you could focus on getting involved in new things that would give you opportunities to meet new people etc? Go down the traditional route?

I always wanted two or three children too but circumstances prevail and I'm here at 35 yo with no children. I know it can be hard...

Sorry OP, but I agree with the traditional route of trying to meet someone to increase your chances of finding a partner to have a child with. Regardless of mental health issues or whatever else, as you know it's bloody hard to bring up children on your own. You don't say how old your DC is, but maybe you could consider waiting a few more years in case you meet someone? You obviously met someone to have your first DH.
Really hope that doesn't sound preachy and I have been a single mum myself, so I know that you can do a great job on your own, but I must admit I wouldn't fancy DC2 on my own whilst looking after DC1.
Hope you make the right decision for you and your DC.
