I’d really like to get some advice or opinion on my situation as I’m thinking about donor conception. I’m still married and have a 6 years old DS, who is happy, healthy and full of energy. My husband and I have always had issues in our marriage and it’s been getting worse year by year. I’m the primary carer for DS and he is more attached to me than his dad.
I got pregnant again last year when I was 40. Husband didn’t want a second child and we had serious arguments throughout my pregnancy. Unfortunately I had a uterus infection and lost the baby in late trimester. I felt my husband was just not there throughout the whole thing. I didn’t feel any compassion from him afterwards. We are in the process of separation now. He would like as little involvement as possible with DS after the separation.
I have always wanted 2 children and my will to have a second child has only grown stronger after the loss. I have my own place to live and am financially fine. I’m considering using donor sperm. But I’m also worried about being a single mom of 2, esp with the younger one not sharing the same dad.
Am I crazy even thinking about a second one at my age and using donor sperm? Or am I overthinking this?
