Pregnancy at 39?

[HoneyB2025]

I’m 39, (divorced at 35) with one child. I want a second child, but I do not have a partner rightnow. What do I do, should I consider donor sperm. My biological clock is ticking at the same time I do not want to sit there and wait for someone, I also just don’t want to have a baby with just anyone. I am cautious about that.

Any advise? Any experience with donor sperm?

I remember the hormonal push before peri, when I was desperate for a baby. It does go. Really think about how having another child would affect you and the child you have now. And also consider how you’d cope if it had additional needs.

How old is your other child? Do you feel you have enough support to have a second child alone?

When you say donor, specifically what do you mean ? Is this is someone you source yourself? Or from a legit fertility clinic. Do you want the child's father involved if you chose your own donor? Because if not, and if your looking for an anonymous donor then I would advise to use a clinic, as otherwise, the donor would have legal rights to your child if they decided to , despite any agreement you make whereas if you use sperm from a donor bank , they don't have any legal parental rights.
Secondly , all sperm at banks are screened
