Need info on sperm donors
Fri, 09-09-2005 - 5:24pm

Hi all,

I was talking to a girlfriend today, and she was asking me if I knew anything about getting pregnant from a sperm donor. I never personally have done it lol, but I was wondering if any of you know anyone who has.

She is looking into this as a way of getting pregnant. She is 36 1/2, and has had all sorts of fertility tests done, and she doesnt have a problem. Her partner has low sperm count, and refuses to lose weight, quit smoking & drinking to help the problem. Anyway, they have had a crappy relationship for years, and she is in the process of leaving him. She wanted to adopt years back, and he wouldnt. Now she is looking into this as an option, as it is much cheaper than ivf, and she doesnt need to be in a relationship. She is finacially able to be a single mom, owns her own home and cars, and has lots of friends and family near by to help out. Does anyone have any info on this, or have heard any stories from people you know, either good or bad?

TIA,

Lesley
