Why do guys prefer to go on co parent????

[Dani1983]

Is it just me or has others found this the case.

I'm 38 and want a child, I've done most of the tests and find out my AMH levels on Tuesday. I've been looking for a donor and it's so limited as I'm CMV negative. Yet there are loads of guys on CoParent.co.uk happy to be sperm donors.

I offered to pay all the clinic fees if someone would go through the clinic with me so I was protected be law, so that they can't claim parents rights etc if they change their mind and the amount of men who say it's too clinical. Yet it's a better to protect them too. Mind boggles!!

Has anyone successfully done it through co parents without any come back? TIA x

Honestly I think there are several factors.

• some guys on there are in it in the hope of getting sex. Not all, but at least some. Or maybe they get their rocks off at the thought of impregnating someone, and find a clinical setting way less sexy.

• some probably just can't be arsed. They think, paperwork, boring. It's also more of a hassle with waiting times, stricter schedules. They can't just waltz into your home at some point in your fertile window and spend five minutes jerking off, they have to show up at a specific time and the whole procedure would probably take way longer than five minutes.

• some may be worried about the confidentiality aspect - it's hard to prove they jerked off in your bathroom but that's a different thing if they signed consent forms. They may think it makes it more likely friends and family find out, and not all are comfortable with that.

• some probably want to keep their options open. What if someday they actually feel like playing daddy to a child (while someone else is doing all the hard work but what else is new).

Long story short - if you want sperm in a clinical setting with legal protection, buy donor sperm if you can afford it. Way more straightforward and at least the donor will have been tested for psychological illness and genetic disease, their sperm tested for quality, etc. Yeah it's waaay more expensive and I realize not everyone can afford it. But if you can afford it, it's worth it.
