So my and my child's father haven't been together for over a year nearly he had to move out of the family home so he could work on his own issues within himself to become a better person. We are still very much in love but are not together the problem I'm facing is I have this over whelming erge to become pregnant. I would like another child for my three year old son to have as a sibling also I always have wanted to have at lease 2 children. Do I engage in casual sex encounters with my first child's father making him aware at the moment I would like to get pregnant. Although I may never be back with him ? I want my children to have the same father. But not sure it's one of my best ideas I've ever had Confused. I'm scared if I don't get pregnant with him i will never had another relationship/child ever anyway. Help !

I would say no, there is a reason you're not living under the same roof and as much as you want a baby a baby is not going to make things any better. Also, having your second child and having 2 children is a lot harder especially if you are on your own.
I also wouldn't worry about children having the same dad hopefully you will find somebody that you love and will share a loving relationship with to then go on and have another child.
As for your own child, yes I'm sure a sibling would be great but all that matters to that child is that they have two adults that love them as in you and the child's dad wether you are together living under the same roof or not. I'd wait did the right man x

What do you think he'd say of you said you wanted to have casual sex with him to get pregnant but not be back together? Does he want another? Does he financially, emotionally and physically support your first child? Is he seeing other people? How would you feel about his engaging in casual sex with other people whilst you have causal sex for his sperm? What of its takes years? Currently on two years of ttc no 2. What if you meet someone else whilst you're trying?

I do think in SOME situations it's workable but it isn't as simple as asking to use his penis for sperm
